Chapter 5: Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
WHY AM I GETTING POOR WELD QUALITY?
•
Not the right size collet
•
Bad ground connection
•
Loose ground connection
•
Dirty material
•
Energy level too high or too low
•
Check connection to welding unit
•
The (+) and (-) terminal are not connected correctly . (Orientation matters)
WHAT SHOULD I MAINTAIN ON THIS UNIT?
•
The shafts for moving collet system up and down could be lubed after every 1000 welds . This will help
produce better, more consistent welds .
•
What if I trigger and nothing happens?
•
The play button needs to be pushed
•
Trigger pedal isn’t properly connected
•
The unit isn’t charged and ready yet
WHAT IF THE UNIT COMES DOWN, BUT DOESN’T COME BACK UP?
•
The collet is more than likely stuck to the workpiece .
•
This can happen if the stud is incorrectly placed in collet or the collet that is used isn’t designed for the
size of stud that is being used .
WHAT IF I SEE A BIG SPARK?
•
There will be some sparks from the stud welding process, however if you see more than normal this could
mean that the workpiece holder has misaligned and is coming in contact with the collet .
WHAT IF MY LASER ALIGNMENT IS OFF?
•
You can turn the collet until you find a more defined bright spot . The laser goes through a corridor of
reflective metal, so you will see a little splatter, but just look for the point that is brighter than the rest .
WHAT IF MY UNIT AUTOMATICALLY RESETS?
•
There is a built in shutdown sequence that will occur if the motor sees over current . This will happen if some
how the system is being bound .
•
This usually will only happen if the collet is stuck to the workpiece and the motor was not able to return
the collet to its beginning position .
WHAT IS THE MAX OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND PEAK CURRENT?
•
170VDC and 5700A Peak
