Wire feeding problems can be reduced by checking the following points.
FAULT
CAUSE
1
Feed roller driven by motor in the
cabinet slipped.
Wire spool brake is too tight.
2
Wire spool unwound and tangled.
Wire spool brake is too loose.
3
Worn or incorrect feed roller size.
A
Use a feed roller matched to the size you are welding.
B
Replace feed roller if worn.
4
Wire rubbed against the misaligned
guides and reduced wire feed ability.
Misalignment of inlet/outlet guides
5
Liner blocked with swarf.
A
Increased amounts of swarf are produced by the wire passing
through the feed roller when excessive pressure is applied to the
pressure roller adjuster.
B
Swarf can also be produced by the wire passing through an
incorrect feed roller groove shape or size.
C
Swarf is fed into the conduit liner where it accumulates thus
reducing wire feed ability.
6
Incorrect or worn contact tip.
A
The Velocity contact tip transfers the weld current to the electrode
wire. If the hole in the contact tip is too large then arcing may
occur inside the contact tip resulting in the wire jamming in the
contact tip.
B
When using soft wire such as aluminum it may become jammed
in the contact tip due to expansion of the wire when heated. A
Velocity contact tip designed for soft wires should be used.
7
Poor work lead contact to work piece.
If the work lead has a poor electrical contact to the work piece
then the connection point will heat up and result in a reduction of
power at the arc.
8
Bent liner.
This will cause friction between the wire and the liner thus
reducing wire feed ability
