Slika 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.
Ključne komponente:
- Varilna enota: Main power source and control panel.
- Welding Torch: Delivers the flux-cored wire and welding current to the workpiece.
- Tla Clamp: Poveže se z obdelovancem za sklenitev električnega tokokroga.
- Welding Mask: Provides eye and face protection from arc flash and sparks.
- Wire Brush: Used for cleaning welds.
- Nasveti za stik: Consumable parts for the welding torch.
4. Nastavitev
- Razpakiranje: Previdno vzemite vse komponente iz embalaže. Preverite, ali so bile med pošiljanjem poškodovane.
- Napajalni priključek: 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.
- Namestitev žice:
- 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.
- Zaprite predelek.
- Torch and Ground Clamp Povezava:
- Ensure the welding torch is securely connected to the front panel of the welder.
- Pritrdite tla clamp cable to the designated terminal on the welder.
- Priprava obdelovanca: Clean the workpiece thoroughly to remove rust, paint, oil, or other contaminants that could affect weld quality.
5. Delovanje
- Vklop: Switch the welder to the "ON" position.
- Pritrdite ozemljitveni Clamp: Varno pritrdite ozemljitveno ploščoamp na obdelovanec, kar zagotavlja dober električni stik.
- Izberite stopnjo moči: 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.
- Varjenje:
- 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.
- Zaščita pred pregrevanjem: If the welder overheats, the thermal protection will activate, and the unit will temporarily shut down. Allow it to cool down before resuming operation.
- Ugasniti: After welding, release the torch trigger, switch the welder to "OFF," and disconnect it from the power supply.
6. Vzdrževanje
Redno vzdrževanje zagotavlja dolgo življenjsko dobo in varno delovanje vašega varilnega aparata.
- Čiščenje: Regularly clean the welding unit, especially the ventilation openings, to prevent dust and debris buildup. Use compressed air if available.
- Vzdrževanje gorilnika:
- 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.
- Sistem za pogon žice: Periodically check the wire drive rollers for wear and ensure they are clean.
- Tla Clamp: Zagotovite tla clamp is clean and provides a secure connection.
- Shranjevanje: Varilni aparat shranjujte v suhem in čistem okolju, ko ga ne uporabljate.
7. Odpravljanje težav
| Težava | Možen vzrok | rešitev |
|---|---|---|
| Na enoti ni napajanja. | Power cable disconnected, circuit breaker tripped, power switch off. | Check power cable, reset circuit breaker, turn power switch on. |
| Ni obloka, ko je pritisnjen sprožilec. | Tla clamp not properly connected, wire feed issue, contact tip clogged. | Zagotovite ozemljitevamp has good contact, check wire feed, clean/replace contact tip. |
| Welder shuts off during operation. | Aktivirana je zaščita pred pregrevanjem. | 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 tehnika varjenja. |
