Accessory functions
Use of the air dispenser/shielding gas
All devices are equipped with:
An adjustable tube to direct air or shielding gas.
A slide holder with holder cone.
A slide holder without dispenser.
Either system may be used as desired to dispense the shielding gas or cooling air.
The gas/air output is controlled by a solenoid valve, which is activated by pushing the pedal if the "POSTGAS" parameter on the display has a
set value other than 0. (See "Work Session").
The input pressure must not exceed 4 bar. Do not use pressures that exceed the limit as this may damage the control valve.
It is generally recommended to use shielding gas with the coaxial cone only for welding titanium, cobalt-chrome and steel.
The recommended pressure for shielding gas (argon) is 0.1/0.2 bar, a light puff is generally sufficient to shield titanium, cobalt-chrome and steel
objects. Use the transparent cone in the cone holder to direct the flow to the welding point.
Be sure that the lever (1) is turned to a position that releases the gas from the conveyor cone (2).
It is recommended to use compressed air for welding silver or gold objects. Connect compressed air (maximum 4 bar) to cool the metal during
long welding processes. Position the adjustable tube (3) near the item to be welded.
Be sure that the lever (1) is turned to a position that releases the air from the adjustable tube (2).
Maintenance
Please read the chapter on
Safety Information
before proceeding
Every maintenance operation, even minor ones for machine parts and the electrical system, requires the use of professionally
qualified personnel with training on the features of the device.
Original spare parts should be used. The use of non-original spare parts releases the Manufacturer from any liability.
Regular inspections
Check the integrity of the laser radiation safety glass on the KG3 viewing window and the leather curtains for hand access to the welding
chamber daily; if they need to be replaced, contact the manufacturer. Using the device with broken glass or without the curtains is DANGEROUS
and can cause health damage. Check the status and the integrity of the safety labels and ID plate every six months, contact the manufacturer if
they are discolored or illegible.
