These values are also printed on the front panel for easy reference. These are suggested values. Your circumstances may
require that the values be adjusted up or down to achieve ideal results.
Recommended Power Source Current & Time Settings for QuikLinx
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.
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.
