INSTALLATION TIG WELDING (GTAW) STRIKING ARC OF TIG OPERATION ® arcweld machine has a built in Gas Solenoid When the tungsten electrode touches the so a TIG Torch with gas hose inside is required. A workpiece, the short-circuit current is only 10A.
OPERATION CONTROL AND CONNECTORS CONTROLS AND OPERATIONAL FEATURES The front panel includes 6 button switches ( welding ENCODER SWITCH (SETTING) model switch, welding function switch, arc start switch, The switch can be turned and pushed. Turning 2T/4T switch, data loading, recall switch and remote for choosing program and adjust data.
OPERATION CONTROL AND CONNECTORS 1. MMA OPERATION PARAMETERS SETTING: Choose the MMA mode, adjust the initial current I for hot start current (10-200A), adjust slope up time T for arc force current (10~200A), and adjust the peak current I for welding current. Welding current setting table - Flat welding DIAMETER(mm) TYPE...
OPERATION CONTROL AND CONNECTORS TIG WELDING TECHNIQUES: The suggested electrode and welding rod angles for welding a bead on plate. The same angles are used when marking a butt weld. The torch is held 60-75 from the metal surface. This is the same as holding the torch 15-30 from the vertical.
OPERATION CONTROL AND CONNECTORS 4. AC TIG OPERATION PARAMETERS SETTING: Choose the AC TIG mode which default setting will be without pulse and mix functions, LIFT/HF , 2T/4T, adjust the preflow time, initial current, slope up time, peak current, slope down time, crater current, postflow time, AC frequency and AC balance.
