Gas lens purpose?

Explanation:
The gas lens is used to create a smoother, more focused shielding gas flow around the arc and weld pool. By using a multi-screen arrangement, it turns the gas into a laminar curtain, which minimizes turbulence and gaps in shielding. This leads to more consistent arc stability and better protection of the molten metal from the atmosphere, reducing porosity and contamination, even in drafts or when using higher gas flow rates. It does not change torch polarity and does not eliminate the need for shielding gas; it simply enhances how effectively the gas shields the weld area.
