Minimum equipment needed for welding task
General Depending on which welding process you intend to use, a certain minimum equipment lev-
el will be needed in order to work with the power source.
The welding processes and the minimum equipment levels required for the welding task
are then described.
MIG/MAG gas-
cooled welding
- Power source
- Grounding (earthing) cable
- MIG/MAG welding torch, gas-cooled
- Gas connection (shielding gas supply)
- Wire-feed unit (TS 4000 / 5000, TPS 3200 / 4000 / 5000 only)
- Interconnecting hosepack (TS 4000/5000, TPS 3200/4000/5000 only)
- Wire electrode
MIG/MAG water-
cooled welding
- Power source
- Cooling unit
- Grounding (earthing) cable
- MIG/MAG welding torch, water-cooled
- Gas connection (shielding gas supply)
- Wire-feed unit (TS 4000 / 5000, TPS 3200 / 4000 / 5000 only)
- Interconnecting hosepack (TS 4000/5000, TPS 3200/4000/5000 only)
- Wire electrode
MIG/MAG auto-
mated welding
- Power source (TS 4000 / 5000, TPS 3200 / 4000 / 5000)
- Robot interface or field bus connection
- Grounding (earthing) cable
- MIG/MAG robot welding torch or MIG/MAG machine welding torch (a cooling unit is
also required with water-cooled robot or machine welding torches)
- Gas connection (shielding gas supply)
- Wire-feed unit
- Interconnecting hosepack
- Wire electrode
