4.1 Assembly and use
The device is a component of a welding system. The device is used in manual welding and automated
welding/robot welding to a max. duty cycle of 60% (e.g., when welding with cobots). Welding fumes are
produced during the welding process. They are filtered and cleaned by the filter cartridges inside the device.
The device can be used to extract fumes and dust when welding or cutting steel with an alloy content of
nickel and chrome under 30%. Two powerful turbines
draw the welding fumes in via intake fittings
located in the middle section of the device. The welding fumes are pressed through filter membranes in the
filter cartridges
. The dust and debris stay stuck to the surface of the filter material. The cleaned air is sent
through the top section of the device and returned to the environment through exhaust louvers
. The filter
cartridges are cleaned automatically. The device is equipped with two rotary nozzles, which with the help
of steady pulses of pressurized air blow dirt and debris out of the filter membranes. A collection container
collects the dirt and debris.
The device is equipped with an automatic starting function. Together with a current clamp, the automatic
starting function switches on the device automatically when the welding process starts. Once the welding
process begins, the device receives a signal from the current clamp and automatically starts the fume
extraction process. Use of the automatic starting function extends the service life of the device.
The following extraction devices can be connected to the device:
— Fume extraction torch
— Welding torch with external extraction systems
— Funnel-shaped nozzle with magnetic bracket
A maximum of two fume extraction torches may be attached to the device.
