CLIP POSITION
After a clip load (quick double trigger press) the clip should be in the position shown in
Figure 9. If the clip is not in this position perform a re-home function (press trigger and
hold for 5 seconds). If the clip still is not in this position then contact the factory for
assistance.
WELD SETTINGS
Recommended Power Source Current & Time Settings
The recommended values for welding QuikLinx clips depend on the type of QuikLinx clip and the welding process being used.
Types of Clips
There are 2 types of clips that can be used with the QuikLinx tool:
Unfluxed
10306MAG Used for Short Cycle Welding or Gas Arc
Fluxed 10450MAG Used for more robust applications and harder to weld materials like HSLA or AR400
Note: These are recommended settings. Your specific circumstance and application may require different settings. Always
test and validate your weld before using in a production scenario.
Refer to the power source manual to set up and adjust the power source.
Checking Weld Quality
The weld quality can best be checked with a torque test. Image offers a torque check attachment (Part number 10441)for a
standard torque wrench. We recommend a maximum torque check value of 30 ftlbs. Beyond 30 ftlbs the wings of the
QuikLinx clip begin to distort.
