Installing the Electrode in the
Series 5/10/20 Weld Head
Each Swagelok weld head comes with a selection of
electrodes. The following instructions show how to
properly install the electrode in the Series 5/10/20 weld
head. See Section 4,
Micro Weld Head,
for the micro weld
head instructions.
Selecting the Proper Electrode
Electrode length and diameter depend on your weld head
model and the outside diameter of the work piece being
welded. To select the correct electrode, use the Electrode
Selection Table in Appendix C,
Electrode Selection Tables
and Geometry,
of this manual, or the appropriate weld
procedure guideline.
Inserting the Electrode into a Rotor
1.
Press
STOP/RESET
.
The rotor makes one half of a revolution (180
°
) for the
Series 5, 10, and 20 weld head, assuming that the weld
head is not attached to a fixture block.
2.
Verify that the rotor is in the correct position to install
the electrode. See Figure 3-17. If the rotor position is
not as shown, press
STOP/RESET
again.
The micro weld head setup is different. The procedures
are covered in Section 4,
Micro Weld Head
.
3.
On the rear panel, turn off the circuit breaker.
4.
Loosen the two electrode clamping screws. If you are
replacing the electrode, remove the electrode.
5.
Insert the new electrode with the sharp tip pointing
out. Tighten the electrode clamping screws slightly to
temporarily hold in place.
