Weld System
• Many factors can effect weld quality and many times the poor quality will come from wear parts rather than weld 
settings. However in some cases the weld quality can be effected by the weld settings. This would be the case if the 
settings have been adjusted from settings that were known to work for specific process. Also a change in base 
materials or parts can make the predetermined settings no longer the best viable settings to produce  quality welds.
• When trouble shooting weld quality it is very important to go through a number of checks prior to designating a 
certain cause to the problem.
• These checks include:
 Consumables
 Loose Connections
 Settings that differ from pre determined settings
 Torch Quality
 Torch Itself internal/externally or liner itself
 Wire Drive unit
 Damaged or loose connections
 Damage to drive motor or drive rolls
 Firmware
 Hose Pack
 Damage to any connections, hoses or cabling included in the hose pack
 Power Source
 Internal Hardware or Firmware
