6 Normal Welding Sequence
Weld Start
Closing the welding gun switch initiates this
sequence of events:
• The gas valve is energised and gas flow
commences;
• The power source contactor function
is initiated. Welding voltage is applied
between the work piece and the
consumable wire.
• The wire drive motor is energised.
• The wire touches the work piece, and the
arc is established.
Weld End
Releasing the gun switch initiates this
sequence of events:
• The wire drive motor is de-energised, and
is dynamically braked to a stop;
• After a short pre-set period, known as
the ‘burn-back’ time, the Power-source
contactor function is released. This period
ensures that the consumable wire does
not ‘freeze’ in the weld pool.
• The gas valve is de-energised and the flow
of shielding gas ceases.
Check the adjustment of the spool brake,
which should be set to prevent over run of
the wire spool at the end of a weld, without
unduly loading the wirefeed motor. The
braking can be adjusted by the Nyloc nut
using a 15/16” AF or 24mm socket wrench.
Compression screw
Top roller arms
Feeding the Consumable Wire
At the wirefeeder, release the compression
screw and rotate the top roller arms to
the open position. The end of the welding
wire can now be passed through the inlet
guide, over the first lower roller, through
the intermediate guide, over the second
lower roller and into the output wire guide
tube. Check that the drive roll grooves are
correct for the wire in use. The appropriate
size is stamped on the visible side of the
installed rollers. Check also that the correct
size contact tip is fitted at the gun end. Feed
roller and tip details are shown in Section 11
of this manual.
Return the top roller arms to the closed
position and adjust the compression screw
to provide sufficient clamping of the drive
rollers to achieve constant wirefeed. Do not
over tighten.
With the equipment energised, operate the
gun switch to feed wire through the gun
cable.
