Figur 1: Gude Flux-Cored Welder SG 120 A and included accessories.
This image displays the Gude Flux-Cored Welder SG 120 A unit, which is blue and black, featuring control knobs and switches on its front panel. Connected to the unit are a welding torch with its cable, a ground clamp, and a basic black welding mask. Also visible are a wire brush and spare contact tips, indicating the complete setup for flux-cored welding.
Nøglekomponenter:
- Welding Unit: Main power source and control panel.
- Svejsebrænder: Delivers the flux-cored wire and welding current to the workpiece.
- Jord Clamp: Forbindes til emnet for at fuldføre det elektriske kredsløb.
- Welding Mask: Provides eye and face protection from arc flash and sparks.
- Stålbørste: Used for cleaning welds.
- Contact Tips: Consumable parts for the welding torch.
4. Opsætning
- Udpakning: Fjern forsigtigt alle komponenter fra emballagen. Undersøg for eventuelle forsendelsesskader.
- Strømtilslutning: Connect the welder to a 230V, 50Hz power supply with a 16A circuit breaker. Ensure the power switch on the welder is in the "OFF" position before plugging it in.
- Ledningsinstallation:
- Open the wire compartment.
- Mount the flux-cored wire spool (up to 0.9 mm diameter) onto the spindle.
- Feed the wire through the guide tube and into the drive rollers.
- Adjust the drive roller tension to prevent slipping or crushing the wire.
- Luk rummet.
- Brænder og jordforbindelseamp Forbindelse:
- Ensure the welding torch is securely connected to the front panel of the welder.
- Fastgør jorden clamp cable to the designated terminal on the welder.
- Forberedelse af emne: Clean the workpiece thoroughly to remove rust, paint, oil, or other contaminants that could affect weld quality.
5. Betjening
- Tænd: Switch the welder to the "ON" position.
- Fastgør jordforbindelseamp: Fastgør jordforbindelsen sikkertamp til emnet, hvilket sikrer god elektrisk kontakt.
- Vælg effektniveau: The SG 120 A offers two power levels: 60A and 90A. Select the appropriate level based on the material thickness.
- For thinner materials (e.g., 1.5 mm), use the lower setting (60A).
- For thicker materials (up to 5 mm), use the higher setting (90A).
- Adjust Wire Feed Speed: Use the control knob to adjust the wire feed speed. Start with a moderate setting and adjust as needed to achieve a stable arc and good weld penetration.
- Svejsning:
- Position the welding torch approximately 10-15 mm from the workpiece.
- Press the trigger on the torch to initiate the arc and wire feed.
- Maintain a consistent travel speed and torch angle to create a uniform weld bead.
- Flux-cored welding produces slag, which will need to be removed after welding.
- Overophedningsbeskyttelse: If the welder overheats, the thermal protection will activate, and the unit will temporarily shut down. Allow it to cool down before resuming operation.
- Sluk: After welding, release the torch trigger, switch the welder to "OFF," and disconnect it from the power supply.
6. Vedligeholdelse
Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din svejsemaskines lange levetid og sikker drift.
- Rensning: Regularly clean the welding unit, especially the ventilation openings, to prevent dust and debris buildup. Use compressed air if available.
- Vedligeholdelse af brænder:
- Inspect the contact tip for wear and replace if necessary.
- Ensure the nozzle is clean and free of spatter.
- Check the torch cable for damage.
- Wire Drive System: Periodically check the wire drive rollers for wear and ensure they are clean.
- Jord Clamp: Sørg for jorden clamp is clean and provides a secure connection.
- Opbevaring: Opbevar svejsemaskinen et tørt og rent sted, når den ikke er i brug.
7. Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Ingen strøm til enheden. | Power cable disconnected, circuit breaker tripped, power switch off. | Check power cable, reset circuit breaker, turn power switch on. |
| No arc when trigger is pressed. | Jordklamp not properly connected, wire feed issue, contact tip clogged. | Sørg for jordrensningamp has good contact, check wire feed, clean/replace contact tip. |
| Welder shuts off during operation. | Overophedningsbeskyttelse aktiveret. | Allow the unit to cool down. Ensure ventilation is not blocked. |
| Poor weld quality (porosity, weak welds). | Improper settings (wire speed, power), dirty workpiece, incorrect technique. | Adjust settings, clean workpiece, review welding technique. |
