How to improve poor weld joint strength with my Soyer Welding System?
- W
  Wendy ClarkSep 12, 2025
  To improve weld joint strength with your Soyer Welding System, start by checking the earth cables and clamps to ensure they are tightly fitted. Clean the workpiece surface to remove any soiling. Use new welding studs if the stud face is deformed, and set the stud projection over the stud holder to 2-3 mm. Ensure the welding gun is positioned so that all three legs are evenly on the workpiece and that the lift is correctly set.

  If the main switch on your Soyer Welding System won't stay in position “1”, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check the mains supply fuses as one or more phases may have failed. Also, inspect fuse F2 and replace it if defective.

Why am I getting varying welding results with my Soyer Welding System?
- J
  Janet SmithSep 10, 2025
  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.

What to do if my Soyer BMK-8 U 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.

  Sandra MitchellSep 8, 2025
  If there is no arc even though your Soyer Welding System is ready for operation, call SOYER customer service because the control of the stud welder or welding gun may be defective. Alternatively, the stud may be too loose in the stud holder; try pressing the stud holder together or tightening it.

What does it mean when the LED "Lift test carried out too long" lights up on my Soyer Welding System?
- C
  Caleb SmithSep 6, 2025
  If the LED "Lift test carried out too long" lights up on your Soyer Welding System, wait until the coil in the welding gun has cooled down. This indicates that you have activated the lifting magnet too long or too often when testing the lift.

What causes single-fillet bulging at equal points when using my Soyer BMK-8 U?
- A
  Austin CowanSep 4, 2025
  If you're seeing single-fillet bulging at equal points on your Soyer Welding System, it is likely caused by a magnetic blow effect. To resolve this, alter the fixture of earth clamps, place iron parts on the edges, and/or rotate the welding gun.

Why is the stud face deformed when using my Soyer Welding System?
- E
  Eduardo PughSep 3, 2025
  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.
