    What to do if shield gas is not supplied on Daihen Wire Feeders?
    • M
      Megan ThomasAug 3, 2025
      If shield gas is not supplied when you press the torch switch on your Daihen Wire Feeders, the issue might stem from a closed discharge valve on the gas cylinder. Make sure to open the valve. Alternatively, there might be insufficient gas pressure in the cylinder, so check the gas pressure. A faulty gas solenoid valve could also be the culprit; inspect it and replace it if necessary.

      If the wire of your Daihen Wire Feeders gets deformed, it might be due to excessive wire pressure. Check “Recommended wire adjustment” in Section 7.2. It could also be that you're using the wrong size feed roll; replace it with the correct size. Lastly, worn feed and pressure rolls can cause deformation, so replace them with new ones.

      Wesley ShawAug 18, 2025
      If the wire is not being fed by your Daihen Wire Feeders, several factors could be at play. There might be poor contact or a breakdown in the control cable; in this case, check the socket and replace the cables. A motor issue could also be the cause, so replace the motor if needed. Insufficient wire pressure can also prevent feeding; refer to “Recommended wire adjustment” in Section 7.2. Lastly, accumulated dust and chips on the outlet guide and feed roll can impede wire feeding, so remove any debris.
