Tightening the screw too much can slow down the speed of the wire
being fed and cause machine malfunctions, while under tightening
the screw can cause the wire spool to become tangled. Therefore,
the tightening of the screw nut must be well adjusted for a nice and
effective weld.
2.5.2 WIRE FEEDING SYSTEM
In Figure 5.1, the view that will appear when the cover of the wire feeder is opened is
shown.
After
placing the welding
wire
reel(Figure 5.1-a) it is passed through
the wire channel and brought to the
entrance of the wire feeding.
Figure 5.1. Wire Feed Mechanism
The reel screws in Figure 5.2-c are
unscrewed and removed. After the
screws are unscrewed, the fixing cover of
the wire feeder reel drops automatically
and the wire drive reels are reached.
Figure 5.2. Wire Feed Motor
The wire drive reels are shown Figure
5.3. The reels are marked according to
the wire diameter used. Select the wire
drive reels according to the thickness
and type of wire you will use. V-grooved
wire feed reels are used for steel and
stainless steel and U-grooved ones are
used for aluminum. Also corrugated V-
grooves are used for cored wires.
