This document describes the ESAB AK 400 and AK 600 Fully Thyristorised MIG/MAG Welding Power Sources, providing instructions for installation, operation, and general maintenance.
The AK 400 and AK 600 are fully thyristorised MIG/MAG welding power sources designed for various welding applications. These units are intended for arc welding and are equipped with features that allow for precise control over the welding process.
The welding power source is designed to provide a stable and controlled output for MIG/MAG welding. It utilizes a fully thyristorised system, which allows for stepless control of welding voltage and current. The unit works in conjunction with a wire feeder and a remote control unit to facilitate comprehensive control over the welding parameters.
Key functional aspects include:
The AK 400 and AK 600 are designed for ease of use and adaptability in various welding environments.
Regular maintenance and inspection are essential for ensuring the longevity and safe operation of the welding power source. All maintenance should be performed only after the switches in the switch box are turned OFF.
The manual provides a comprehensive fault-finding guide to address common operational issues.
The manual emphasizes that users of ESAB welding equipment are responsible for observing all relevant safety precautions and that only trained personnel should carry out work on the equipment. It also provides guidance on weld defects, their possible causes, and corrective actions, covering issues like weld metal cracks, inclusions, lack of penetration, and porosity.
