When the facing tool is located between the components, the machine
asks the operator to close in the carriage. This is done by pressing the
cursor key until the “
<-
” on the screen disappear. The process can
be aborted by pressing the STOP/RESET key.
When the mobile carriage has been moved in on the fixed one, clamp the
components to be jointed into the clamps. While the screen that requests
this of the welder can be seen, it is possible, using the
,
cursor keys,
to decrease or increase the distance the carriage will travel during facing
by 0.5 mm increments, from 3.0 mm through to 10.0 mm. When the facing
distance is as desired, confirm by pressing the START/SET key. The
machine moves the carriage apart for the next process item.
This next item of the facing process is to move the tool from position 1 to
position 2, the position for facing proper. Again, the screen requests this
of the welder. To move the facing tool, release its position lock. When it
sits in position 2, press the START/SET key.
Info
Prior to the facing process, checking the direction and the speed
of the rotation of the power facer is recommended.
The machine then asks the welder to start the facing tool. Do as you are
requested, using the On/Off switch of the power facer, and hold down
the
cursor key until the machine moves the carriage apart automati-
cally. This indicates that the facing process is correct, considering the
previously set facing distance. Then switch the facing tool off at its On/
Off switch.
Info
If the
key is released before the carriage moves apart, the
facing tool pauses to allow for removing shavings; when holding
down the
cursor key again the machine resumes facing.
When the machine has moved the carriage apart, the facing tool can
be removed from in-between the pipes. Visually check the components
and, if they are o.k., confirm this by pressing the START/SET key (see
Display 11). If the result of facing is poor, the process can be repeated
after pressing the STOP/RESET key. To face the ends once again, in
most cases the pipes have to be re-adjusted in the clamps.
Info
If an error occurs during facing, the machine moves the mobile
carriage apart, displaying the corresponding error message.
The facing process can be aborted at any time by pressing the STOP/
RESET key.
4.7.2 Checking
Alignment
When the component butts are level to satisfaction, it has to be checked if
they align properly to each other or if there is an offset. Similar to facing,
the screen tells the welder that this is the next step, and the carriage
can be closed in on the other by pressing the
key until the machine
stops automatically.
If the pipes align properly, confirm by pressing START/SET again, in
order to move on in the welding process.
If the alignment offset is too large, or if there is too large or too uneven
a distance between the components, press the STOP/RESET key. The
machine then asks if facing should be repeated. For if the components
have to be re-adjusted in the clamps at this point, facing has to be re-
peated, too. That is, at the repeat-facing query press START/SET if you
want to repeat facing, STOP/RESET, if not. In both cases the machine
