Overview

This document serves as a user manual for the YESWELDER IGBT Inverter CO2/MIG Welding Machine, specifically for product models MIG PRO-200 and MIG PRO-250. It provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the welding machine, emphasizing safety precautions throughout.

The welding machine is designed based on internationally advanced inverter technology. Its core principle involves converting 50/60Hz alternative current into direct current, which is then inverted into high-frequency alternative current (20KHz) by IGBT components before being rectified. This sophisticated process allows the machine to offer a range of features that enhance welding performance and user experience.

Function Description:

The YESWELDER IGBT Inverter CO2/MIG Welding Machine is a versatile tool capable of performing multiple welding functions, including CO2/MIG, MAG, GASLESS MIG, MMA (Manual Metal Arc), and LIFT TIG welding. This multi-process capability makes it suitable for various welding applications and materials.

For CO2/MIG and MAG functions, the user connects the joint to the red socket and the earth clamp to the black socket. The welding torch is then plugged into the front panel and tightened, with the welding wire inserted from the built-in wire feeder. When using the Gasless function, the joint is plugged into the black socket and the earth clamp into the red socket, with the torch and wire connected similarly. For MMA and LIFT TIG functions, an electrode holder is plugged into the red socket and the earth clamp into the black socket.

The machine incorporates IGBT Inverter technology with current mode control, ensuring reliable quality and stable performance. It features closed-circuit feedback with constant voltage output, providing good resistance to voltage fluctuations (up to ±15%). An electric reactor control system contributes to a stable welding process, characterized by minimal splash, a deep welding pool, and a clean, beautiful welding seam.

A key operational feature is the slow wire-feeding mechanism for arc start and tip ball removal after welding. This design ensures a high success rate for arc initiation, improving efficiency and reducing rework. The machine is suitable for welding thin and medium metal sheets, specifically those with a thickness of 0.8mm or more.

Usage Features:

The YESWELDER welding machine is designed for ease of operation, making it practical and economical for users. Its compact size and light weight contribute to its portability and convenience in various work environments. The efficiency of the machine is notably high, exceeding 85%, which translates to significant energy savings—over 30% compared to conventional welding machines.

Installation involves connecting the power input cable to an AC380V power supply. For CO2/MIG welding, the CO2 gas bottle must be firmly connected to the CO2 inlet on the back of the machine using a gas-carrying hose, and a gas regulator is required.

Wire spool installation is a straightforward process. The wire spool is mounted to the shaft of the wire feeder and secured with the spool holder. Users must select a contact tip that matches the welding wire size. The wire is then guided into the groove of the wire driving wheels via a wire guide tube, and the pressure wheel is adjusted to prevent slippage without deforming the wire. The manual advises releasing the welding wire roll counter-clockwise and cutting any bent head part of the wire to avoid sticking. The correct track of the wire feeding groove must be chosen based on the wire diameter, and an "Inching" button is provided to lead the wire out of the welding torch.

The manual provides guidance on setting up welding current, arc voltage, welding speed, dry extension of welding wire, and CO2 flow. These parameters are crucial for achieving high-quality welds. The machine's digital display and control knob facilitate precise adjustments. For instance, the welding process can be selected (MIG 100% CO2, MAG 80% Ar/20% CO2, GASLESS, Zn Alloy Steel), and settings like inductance, torch holding method (2T/4T), hot start, arc start current, and burn back can be adjusted for MIG/synergic MIG processes. For MMA, arc force, hot start, VRD on/off, and anti-stick on/off are configurable.

Maintenance Features:

The manual emphasizes the importance of regular maintenance to ensure the machine's optimal function and safe operation. It outlines several critical maintenance steps and safety tips.

Safety Tips:

  • Workers must receive professional training and hold valid certificates for metal welding.
  • Use recognized welding safety products and disconnect electricity during maintenance.
  • To prevent electric shock, connect the earth cable according to standard regulations, avoid contact with live components, and ensure insulation between the operator and the workpiece/earth.
  • To mitigate health risks from smoke, keep the head out of welding gas and ensure good ventilation.
  • Protect eyes and skin from arc light emission using welding helmets, clothes, and gloves.
  • To prevent fire or explosion, keep inflammable substances away from the workpiece and have fire extinguishers nearby. Do not weld closed containers.
  • Avoid contact with hot workpieces and allow the welding torch to cool down after continuous use.
  • Individuals with heart pacemakers should consult a doctor and keep away from the welding area.
  • Keep away from moving components like fans and ensure all panels and covers are fastened.
  • Seek professional help for persistent issues after consulting the manual.

Maintenance Procedures:

  • Maintenance should only be performed by professional operators with electrical engineering and safety knowledge, and the machine's input power must be disconnected.
  • Regularly check the internal junction circuits, ensuring all connections are tight and stable. Remove any rust or oxide film from connectors.
  • Avoid touching electron components (e.g., fans) inside the machine when it is energized.
  • Clean dust with dry compressed air, especially if the machine operates in smoky or polluted environments. The compressed air pressure should be at a workable level to prevent component damage.
  • Prevent water or vapor from entering the machine. If water ingress occurs, dry the machine immediately and test its insulation.
  • Inspect welding cable covers for wear and bind up or replace as needed.
  • Store the welding machine in its original package in a dry place when not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting and Repair:

The manual provides a detailed troubleshooting guide for various components:

  • Welding Power Supply: Check the switch's work state, power-on indicator, fan operation (noise), unusual vibration, burning smell, overheating traces, wear of gas carrying hose, and looseness of connectors/fastened parts.
  • Welding Torch: Inspect for firm installation, front-end deformation (leads to bubbles), splashes on the nozzle (leads to burning of torch), contact tip installation (firmness, end damage, bore wear/stuck), extrusion part size (too short causes unstable arc), consistency of welding wire diameter and contact tube inner diameter (unsuitability causes unstable arc), and bending/extended parts of the conductor tube (causes bad wire-feeding).
  • Wire Feeder: Check tension arm pressure, welding wire fragments/powder at the inlet of the wire guide tube, consistency of wire diameter and contact tube inner diameter, consistency of inlet center of wire guide tube and groove center of wire feeding wheel, consistency of actual wire diameter and nominal wire feeding wheel diameter (causes wire power, jam, unstable arc), jam of groove, and stability of rotation/wear of press plane/narrowing-down of contact plane of the pressure wheel (causes bad wire-feeding).
  • Power Output Cable: Inspect for excessive bending of the welding torch cable (causes bad wire-feeding, unstable arc), looseness of metal connector of fast coupling device, wear/damage of insulation layer, and nudity/looseness of cable connections (ensuring body safety and welding stability).
  • Cable of Power Input: Verify firm connection of input/output terminals of the distribution box, reliable fuse connection, connection of input terminal of welding power supply, and wear/damage/nudity of insulation layer.
  • Ground Cable: Check circuit break and connection of the earth cable of welding power supply and workpiece (to avoid power leakage and ensure safety).

The manual stresses that only genuine spare parts should be used for replacements to maintain the machine's original function.
