Regrinding electrodes centrically
Figure 5-13
The tip of the electrode should be centred in the longitudinal axis of the electrode. In the case of devia-
tions, there is a risk that the arc will become unstable. Especially in automated welding, a non-centred
electrode tip leads to ignition next to the proper ignition point.
Penetration above grinding angle
Figure 5-14
The more pointed the grinding cone, the deeper the penetration. The wider the grinding cone, the
shallower the penetration.
5.9.3.2 Removal and reassembly of the electrode with mounted electrode clamping unit
The welding torch has an electrode clamping mechanism that allows the position of the electrode
to the plasma nozzle to be changed within a certain range even during the welding process. In this
way you can find the optimal distance for the respective welding process.
