What should I do if the stud doesn't lift and no current is generated on my Soyer BMK-12 W?
If the stud doesn't lift, and neither the preweld nor main current arc is generated, even though the LED "Stud on workpiece” lights up, ensure that the height of lift is correctly set in accordance with the operating instructions of your stud welding gun.
What to do if my Soyer BMK-12 W does not weld, showing no or poor sparking?
If your Soyer Welding System does not weld and you notice no or poor sparking, ensure the system is connected to the mains supply and switched on, keeping the main switch in position "1" for drawn arc and short-cycle drawn arc operation. Also, verify that the operating mode is set to "OP". Check all cables and hoses for proper connection and damage, replacing them if necessary. Ensure the earth cables are correctly connected and clamps are attached to the workpiece, and that welding points are clean. For drawn arc welding, make sure the height of lift and depth of immersion are correctly adjusted, and the gas flow rate is set to 4-5 l/min. Finally, ensure the gun is vertical and the ceramic ferrule and stud holder are centered.
Why does the main switch of my Soyer BMK-12 W Welding System not remain in position "1"?
If your Soyer Welding System's main switch doesn't stay in position "1", it could be due to one or more failed phases. Check the mains supply fuses. If the issue continues, the fuse F2 may be defective, and you should replace it.
How to troubleshoot varying welding results with my Soyer BMK-12 W Welding System?
If you're experiencing varying welding results with your Soyer Welding System, start by adjusting the welding energy. Then, check all cable connections and earth clamps to ensure they are tight. Make sure the stud is fully inserted into the stud holder, replacing the holder if necessary. Address any magnetic blowing action by adjusting the fixture of earth clamps, placing iron parts on the edges, or rotating the welding gun. Verify that the height of lift and depth of immersion are correctly set according to the welding gun's operating instructions. Use only SOYER® welding studs as per DIN EN ISO 13 918. Reset the welding time and gas flow as needed, and ensure the parent metal is suitable for welding.
What to do if the gas flow duration is set to "0" on my Soyer Welding System?
Set the gas flow duration to the desired preflow time. Ensure that the gas flow rate is set to 4-5 l/min using the control cock.
Why is the stud not welded with the total flange surface on my Soyer BMK-12 W?
If the stud is not welded with the total flange surface, it means the welding time is too short. Readjust the time for main current duration according to the list.
What to do if my Soyer Welding System does not weld or has poor sparking?
If your Soyer Welding System isn't welding or sparking poorly, ensure the system is connected to the mains supply and switched on, with the main switch in position "1" for drawn arc and short-cycle drawn arc operation. Verify that the operating mode is set to "OP" and that all welding, control cables, and gas hoses are properly connected and undamaged. Check for burnt connecting plugs or sockets, and ensure both earth cables are correctly connected with the clamps attached to the workpiece. Clean the welding and earth connection points, correctly adjust the height of lift and depth of immersion, and set the gas flow rate to 4-5 l/min. Also, make sure the gun is vertical and the ceramic ferrule and stud holder are centered.
Why am I getting varying welding results with my Soyer Welding System?
Inconsistent welding results with your Soyer Welding System can stem from several factors. Ensure that the welding energy is correctly adjusted and all cable connections and earth clamps are tightly secured to avoid transition resistances. Check that the stud is fully inserted into the stud holder, replacing the holder if necessary. Address potential magnetic blowing action by altering the fixture of earth clamps, placing iron parts on the edges, or rotating the welding gun. Verify the height of lift and depth of immersion are correctly set, and use only SOYER® welding studs as per DIN EN ISO 13 918. Confirm that the welding time and gas flow are correctly set and that you are using suitable material combinations.
Why is the stud face deformed when using my Soyer BMK-12 W?
If the stud face is deformed when using your Soyer Welding System, use new welding studs. Set the distance between the stud holder and stud face to 2-3 mm. Ensure that all three gun legs are simultaneously and evenly positioned on the workpiece, and set the lift correctly.
What should I do if the gas flow rate is set too low on my Soyer Welding System?
If the gas flow rate is set too low on your Soyer Welding System, set the gas flow rate to 4-5 l/min using the control cock. If the issue persists, the solenoid valve in the stud welder may be soiled or defective; deaerate and clean it, or have it replaced by SOYER customer service.
