7.3 Commissioning conditions
Before each start-up and before each time welding starts, the welding system’s
readiness for operation must be checked as follows:
Warning:
•
Everyone who works on the welding system is obligated, before
starting work, to read and follow the safety instructions in Chapter 2!
•
Additionally, the operating manuals of the connected device
components (welding gun, sorter) must be followed!
1.
Make sure that the welding system’s location of use meets the requirements in
Chapters 3.6 and 3.7.
2.
Check for correct configuration of the ALPHA 850 with the welding guns, sorters
and any shielding gas equipment indicated in Chapter 1.8.
3.
Secure the welding location such that people nearby are adequately protected
against blinding and electromagnetic fields (Chapter 2).
4.
Check the configured device components for correct connection.
•
When connecting a gun with manual stud loading, the inspection is limited to
the electrical connection of the gun and workpiece.
•
When connecting a welding gun with automatic stud loading, the pneumatic and
any shielding gas specific connections on the sorter and welding gun must be
checked.
The instructions and information required for this are found in the specific
devices’ operating manuals.
5.
Make sure that the electrical and, if present, pneumatic line routing poses no
danger of people tripping.
6.
Make sure that the welding gun and any sorter are loaded only with studs designed
for the gun.
7.
It must also be ensured that, during overhead welding ( ), wearing a safety
helmet is mandated.
8.
Check all system components for visible damage, such as wear and electrical or
mechanical defects.
