SYMPTOM. ANOMALY.
PROBABLE CAUSE.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION.
Spotting jobs are being carried out with high
inductance intake.
Place the earth tap at the lowest inductance value
Aluminium is being welded with a drawing
problem, which causes incorrect arc ignition as
the wire is slowed down on knocking against
the piece.
Examine the drawing process. Prevent the gun from
making “knots”, keeping it in a straight line. The wire
must not be slowed down when it knocks against the
piece
The motor acceleration ramp is very low,
reaching a high speed in the initial priming
process.
Suitably regulate the acceleration ramp
potentiometer of the existing motor in the wire-feed
unit.
THE WELDING START IS VERY
AGGRESSIVE.
THERE ARE MANY
PROJECTIONS.
The wire length at onset of welding process is
too long.
Suitably regulate the existing final wire length
potentiometer in the wire-feed to obtain the LEAST
final wire length at the end of the welding process.
SPECIALIZED PERSONNEL MUST CARRY OUT ANY WORK ON THE EQUIPMENT.
BOTH AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF A REPAIR CHECK THE EQUIPMENT INSULATION LEVELS.
(DISCONNECT THE ELECTRONIC CARDS WHEN MEASURING THE INSULATION).
The insulation-measuring device will have 500 V D.C. and will be applied to the following points of the circuit:
- Intake rectifier-Earth: Ra> 50 Mohms
- Outlet rectifier-Earth: Ra> 50 Mohms
- Switch l2 - Outlet rectifier: Ra> 50 Mohms.
- Control circuit-Earth: Ra> 50 Mohms
Ra: Insulation resistance in Mohms.
In the event that lack of insulation is observed it is likely that this is due to the accumulation of metal dust on the
inside of the equipment.
BOTH AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF A REPAIR, BLOW THE INSIDE OF THE EQUIPMENT WITH
COMPRESSED AIR.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REDUCING ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (CEM) PROBLEMS
The user is responsible for the installation and use of the welding material according to the instructions in this manual
and the following recommendations.
Before installing the welding material, the presence of the following in the surrounding area must be kept in mind:
•
Wiring for power, control, signalling, and telephones.
•
Radio and television receivers and transmitters.
•
Computers and other control equipment.
•
Critical security equipment.
•
People with pace makers or hearing aids.
•
Measurement and calibration equipment.
In order to reduce EMC problems, keep in mind the time of day when welding or other activities will be carried out. Move
possible interference victims away from the welding installation.
ALWAYS CONNECT THE MACHINE TO POWER USING AN EFFICIENT EARTH TAP.
IF PROTECTIVE DEVICES OR SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FILTERS ARE NEEDED, CONSULT OUR TECHNICAL
SERVICE.
PERFORM THE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL.
USE THE SHORTEST WELDING WIRES POSSIBLE AND KEEP THEM PLACED NEXT TO EACH OTHER NEAR THE FLOOR.
IF THE WELDING PIECE IS GROUNDED, KEEP IN MIND OPERATOR SAFETY AND NATIONAL REGULATIONS.
