Fixation mode
Fig. 6.7 Fixation mode
For fixation welding, the foot switch and an additional contact clamp are re-
quired (alternatively, the fixation welding set - optional accessory item num-
ber 100 845).
This mode is used for workpiece fixation.
Attention!
The blue connection cable may only be connected only if the
mode has been activated. Before the fixation mode is left, the cable must be
removed again to prevent erroneous welding.
Connect both of the workpieces which are to be fixed to an area of bare
metal, using a contact clamp, one to the blue one and the other to the black.
When the two workpieces are touching, the welding process can be trig-
gered, using the foot switch. The hand piece is not used during this process.
The required welding power is determined by the strength of the connection
desired as well as the workpiece geometry.
During fixation welding, the foot switch is always active, and cannot be de-
activated! The shielding gas flow is deactivated during fixation welding.
TIP:
Fixation welding is particularly well suited for metals with low
conductivity, for example titanium or steel.
