Both the operating method for the spot welder and the variability in shape
and size of the piece being welded make it impossible to provide integrated
protection against the danger of the upper limbs being crushed: fingers, hands,
forearm.
The risk should be reduced by appropriate preventive measures:
- The operator should either be expert or trained in resistance welding
procedures using this type of appliance.
- A risk evaluation must be performed for each type of work to be carried out;
it is necessary to use equipment and masks that support and guide the piece
to be worked in order to distance hands from the electrode danger area.
- When using a portable spot welder: solidly grasp the clamp with both hands
placed on the relative handles; always keep hands away from the electrodes.
- Whenever the shape of the piece allows it, adjust the electrode distance so
that the stroke does not exceed 6 mm.
- Do not allow more than one person to work on the same spot welder at the
same time.
- Unauthorised persons should not be allowed in the working area.
- Do not leave the spot welder unattended: in such a case it should be
disconnected from the power supply; for pneumatic cylinder-operated spot
welders turn the main switch to “O” and lock it with the supplied padlock,
take out the key and leave it with the person in charge.
- Only use electrodes that are recommended for the machine (see spare parts
list) without altering their shape.
- RISK OF BURNS
Some parts of the spot welder (electrodes arms and nearby areas) may reach
temperatures of over 65°C: suitable protective clothing must be worn.
Allow newly-welded pieces to cool before touching them.
- RISK OF TIPPING AND FALLING
- Place the spot welder on a level horizontal surface that is able to support
its weight; confine the spot welder to the support surface (when required
in the “INSTALLATION” section of this manual). Otherwise with inclined
or uneven floors or moveable supporting surfaces there is the danger of
tipping.
- Never lift the spot welder unless explicitly required by the “INSTALLATION”
section of this handbook.
- When using machines on wheels: disconnect the spot welder from the
electric and pneumatic (if present) power supplies before moving the unit
to another work area. Pay attention to obstacles and unevenness on the
ground (for example cables and piping).
- UNINTENDED USE
It is dangerous to use the spot welder for any purpose other than that for
which it is intended (see INTENDED USE).
PROTECTIONS
The safeguards and moveable parts of the spot welder casing should all be in
position before connection to the power supply.
WARNING: All manual operations on moveable accessible parts of the spot
welder, for example:
- Electrode replacement or maintenance
- Adjusting the position of the arms or electrodes
MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE SPOT WELDER SWITCHED OFF AND
DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRIC AND PNEUMATIC (if present) POWER
SUPPLY.
MAIN SWITCH LOCKED AT “O” WITH LOCK CLOSED AND KEY REMOVED in the
models with PNEUMATIC CYLINDER movement).
STORAGE
- Place the machine and its accessories (with or without packaging) in closed
areas.
- The relative humidity of the air must not exceed 80%.
- The environmental temperature must be between -15°C and 45°C.
If the machine is planned with liquid cooling and an ambient temperature under
0°C: use the anti-freeze liquid suggested by the manufacturer or completely
empty the hydraulic circuit and the tank of liquid.
Always use adequate measures to protect the machine from humidity, dirt and
corrosion.
2. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Introduction
Mobile system for resistance welding (spot welder) controlled by a microprocessor,
medium frequency inverter technology, three-phase power supply and direct output
current.
The spot welder is equipped with a pneumatic clamp that contains the transforming
and rectifying unit. In this way higher welding currents are obtained than from
traditional spot welders, with reduced network absorption and fewer magnetic fields
near the cables. Longer, lighter cables can be used to improve handling and give a
wider working range.
The spot welder can work on iron plates with a low carbon content, galvanized iron
plates, high resistance steel plates and boron steel plates. Equipped with quick
couplings for use with the accessory equipment (Studder, X Clamp), it can be used
for many different types of hot machining on panels and all the specific work of car
body shops.
The main system characteristics are:
- Backlit LCD display that shows the controls and the set parameters;
- Spot welding mode (continuous or pulsed) selection from the panel;
- Choice of manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic spot welding parameters;
- Panel pre-heating and post-heating can be set to optimise the welding of high
resistance and galvanized material;
- Different types of electrode can be set;
- Automatic recognition of the tool being used;
- Automatic recognition of the “C” type arm;
- Automatic spot welding current control;
- Manual and automatic control of the power to the electrodes;
- Double “USB” port (for PC and USB flash drive).
2.2 STANDARD ACCESSORIES
- Arm support;
- Clamp cable support;
- Front wheel support;
- Regulator filter group (supply of compressed air);
- “C” clamp with standard arms, complete with cable with a plug that can be
disconnected from the generator and built-in sensors for automatic spot;
- Cooling system (integrated GRA).
2.3 ACCESSORIES ON DEMAND
- Arms and electrodes with a different length and/or shape for “C” clamp (see spare
parts list);
- Supporting pole and weight discharger for the clamp;
- “X” clamp;
- Studder kit;
- “C” clamp ring kit.

4.2 CONNECTION AND ADJUSTMENT DEVICES
4.2.1 Control panel (Fig. C)
Description of the spot welding parameters (fig. C-1):
POWER
%
Power: percentage of the power issued during spot welding – range from 5
to 100%.
Force at the electrodes (automatic mode):
force with which the pneumatic
clamp electrodes move against the panels to be spot welded; the machine
automatically adjusts the set force before making the spot.
Squeeze time (manual mode): time during which the pneumatic clamp
electrodes remain on the panels to be spot welded without emitting current;
in this way the electrodes reach maximum pressure, set with the pressure
regulator, before emitting current – range from 200 ms to 1 second.
