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
