Why does my Linde Welding System have erratic wire feed and wire snarls?
If your Linde Welding System experiences erratic wire feed, wire snarls up at outlet guide, the liner might be of incorrect type and size for wire in use, worn or dirty, or too long or short. Replace the liner with the correct type and size.
Why is the wire live when feeding through cable and torch before welding on my Linde Welding System?
If the wire is live when feeding through the cable and torch before welding with your Linde Welding System, it could be due to a faulty wire inch switch or inappropriate use of the torch trigger switch. Replace the faulty wire inch switch and ensure you are using the torch trigger correctly.
What to do if the arc will not initiate on a Linde Welding System?
If the arc won't initiate on your Linde Welding System, it may be due to damaged, loose, or undersized cables and clamps. Inspect and replace any damaged or undersized cables and clamps.
Why is the welding torch overheating on my Linde Welding System?
If your Linde Welding System's welding torch overheats, it's likely because the welding torch is underrated for the welding application. Use a welding torch rated appropriately for the application.
How to fix erratic output control on Linde Welding System?
If your Linde Welding System has erratic or no output control, the switches might be damaged or incorrectly set for the application. Check the switches for damage and ensure they are set correctly for the application.
What causes wire slippage on a Linde Welding System?
If your Linde Welding System experiences wire slippage or deformation, it may be due to incorrect feed roll size, incorrect tension adjustment, or misalignment. Adjust the roll size and tension, and realign the wire feed mechanism.
Why does my Linde Welding System have erratic feeding and spatter?
If your Linde Welding System exhibits erratic feeding, wire shudder, wire burnback, unstable arc, or spatter, it could be due to an incorrect size of contact tip, incorrect contact tip to nozzle distance for metal transfer mode, or inferior contact tip material. Replace the contact tip with the correct size and material and adjust the distance.
Why is there arcing between contact tip and nozzle on my Linde Welding System?
If you notice arcing between the contact tip and nozzle, or between the nozzle and workpiece on your Linde Welding System, it's likely because no nozzle insulator is fitted. Fit a nozzle insulator.
What causes wire shaving on a Linde Welding System?
If your Linde Welding System experiences wire shaving or snarling, it could be due to incorrect wire guide sizes or misalignment. Use correct wire guide sizes and align the guides properly.
Why does the wire stick in the contact tip of my Linde Welding System?
If you're experiencing wire sticking in the contact tip or erratic feeding with your Linde Welding System, it could be due to varying wire diameter, copper flaking, or surface damage. Use wire of consistent diameter and check for surface damage.
