What causes uneven leg length in fillet joint of Thermal Arc Welding System?
If you're experiencing uneven leg length in a fillet joint with your Thermal Arc Welding System, it's likely due to incorrect placement of the filler rod. Re-position the filler rod.
What to do if welding arc can not be established in Thermal Arc Welding System?
If you're unable to establish a welding arc with your Thermal Arc Welding System, verify the following: * Ensure the work clamp is securely connected to the workpiece and that the work/torch leads are connected to the correct welding terminals. * Confirm that the torch lead is properly connected to the correct terminal. * Check that the gas flow is correctly set, the cylinder isn't empty, and the torch valve is turned on. Adjust the flow rate, change cylinders, or turn the torch valve on as needed.
Why is there no gas flow when torch trigger is depressed on Thermal Arc 160 TS ARCMASTER?
If there's no gas flow when you depress the torch trigger switch on your Thermal Arc Welding System, check for these potential causes: * A cut gas hose. * Impurities in the gas passage. * The gas regulator being turned off. * A disconnected or faulty torch trigger switch lead or cable. To address this, replace the gas hose if it's cut. Disconnect the gas hose from the rear of the power source, raise the gas pressure, and blow out any impurities. Ensure the gas regulator is turned on. Reconnect the lead or repair the faulty switch/cable.
What causes electrode to melt when arc is struck on Thermal Arc 160 TS ARCMASTER?
If the electrode melts when an arc is struck with your Thermal Arc Welding System, it could be due to the electrode being connected to the ‘+’ terminal or the WAVE BALANCE being greater than 50%. Connect the electrode to the ‘?’ terminal and reduce the WAVE BALANCE to below 50% or increase the electrode size.
Why does welding current reduce when welding with Thermal Arc 160 TS ARCMASTER?
If the welding current reduces while welding with your Thermal Arc Welding System, consider these potential causes: * Loose welding cable connections. * Incorrect welding cable size. * Improper input connections. * Poor electrode condition. * Wrong welding polarity. To resolve this, tighten all welding cable connections, use the proper size and type of cable, and verify the output torch connections. Replace the electrode if its condition is poor.
Why is arc start not smooth on Thermal Arc 160 TS ARCMASTER?
If you're experiencing an arc start that isn't smooth with your Thermal Arc Welding System, it could be due to several reasons: * The tungsten electrode being too large for the welding current. * Using the wrong electrode for the welding job. * The gas flow rate being too high. * Using an incorrect shielding gas. * A poor work clamp connection to the workpiece. To address this, select the right size and type of electrode, adjust the gas flow rate, and ensure a good connection to the workpiece.
Why does the electrode melt when arc is struck in Thermal Arc 160 TS ARCMASTER?
If the electrode of your Thermal Arc Welding System melts or oxidizes when striking an arc, several factors could be responsible: * There may be no gas flowing to the welding region. * The torch might be clogged with dust. * The gas hose could be cut or the gas passage may contain impurities. * The gas regulator or torch valve might be turned off. * The electrode could be too small for the welding current, or the WAVE BALANCE is set above 50%. To resolve this, check the gas lines for kinks or breaks and the gas cylinder contents. Clean the torch, replace the gas hose if necessary, and blow out any impurities from the gas passage. Ensure the gas regulator and torch valve are turned on. Increase the electrode diameter or reduce the welding current, and reduce the WAVE BALANCE to ...
What causes cracks in weld metal of Thermal Arc Welding System?
To address cracking in the weld metal of your Thermal Arc Welding System soon after solidification, consider that it may be caused by rigidity of the joint, insufficient throat thickness, or a cooling rate that is too high. Redesign the joint to relieve severe stresses or use crack-resistant electrodes. Travel slightly slower to allow greater build-up in the throat, and preheat the plate and cool slowly.
Why is weld bead too wide on Thermal Arc 160 TS ARCMASTER?
If the weld bead is too wide, there's excessive bead build-up, or excessive penetration in a butt joint with your Thermal Arc Welding System, it's likely that the travel speed is too slow. Increase the travel speed.
What to do if gas flow won't shut off in Thermal Arc 160 TS ARCMASTER Welding System?
If the gas flow won’t shut off on your Thermal Arc Welding System, it could be due to several reasons: * The Weld Mode (STD, SLOPE, REPEAT, or SPOT) was changed before the POST-FLOW gas time had finished. * The gas valve is faulty or jammed open. * The POST-FLOW control is set to 60 seconds. To resolve this, strike an arc to complete the weld cycle, or switch the machine off then on to reset the solenoid valve sequence. Reduce the POST-FLOW time.
