10. Contact equipment

SSingle wire 1,6 -- 2,5 mm (4,0 mm). Light duty (D20)

Supplied as standard with A6 SFD1 (LD version) and used as necessary,

e.g. in restricted spaces, wire sizes up to 4,0 mm.

Use contact tube D20 with contact tip (M12 thread), see table on page 54.

GTighten the contact tip using spanner no. 10 to ensure a good contact.

For thinner wires, e.g. ø1,6 -- 2,5 mm, use a guide tube and separate thin

wire straightener.

GFit the clamp for the guide tube in the M12 hole for the fixed straighten-

ing roller on the standard wire straightener. The guide tube should bot-

tom against the contact tip. Trim the length so that the distance to the

feed roller is about 5 mm.

GInstall the thin wire straightener above the clamp for the wire straigh-

tener.

SSingle wire 3,0 -- 6,0 mm. Heavy duty (D35)

Included as standard with A6 SFD1.

Use contact tube D35 with contact jaws. See also the remarks about contact

tube D20 for wires up to 4 mm in restricted spaces.

GUse a standard straightener with the A6, consisting of one fixed and one

adjustable roller.

GAssemble the contact jaws using the M5 bolts supplied, one part of the

contact jaws on the fixed part of the contact tube and the other part on

the loose half of the split contact tube.

GInstall the loose half with the contact jaw in place using the M8 hex head

bolts and tighten fully to ensure good contact between the contact jaws

and the electrode.

STube electrodes.

Contact tubes D20 och D35 can be used for tube electrode. If contact jaws

(D35) are used they should be tightened to a moderate pressure only to

avoid deforming the tube electrode. Make sure that good electrical contact is

achieved with the electrode.

STwin wire.

Always use contact tube D35 for twin wire with a guide tube and separate

straightener.

GFit the clamp for the guide tube in the M12 hole for the fixed straighten-

ing rollers on the standard wire straightener. The guide tubes should bot-

tom against the contact jaws (Heavy Twin) or against the adapter for the

contact tip (Light Twin).

GTrim the length of the guide tubes so that the distance to the feed rollers

is around 5 mm.

STwin wire 2x1,2 -- 2x2,0 mm, Light Twin:

Use two contact tips with M6 threads. For the correct wire sizes see the table

on page 54.

GTighten the contact tips well, to ensure a good electrical contact.

GFit the adapter for the M6 contact tip to the fixed half of the split contact

tube using M5 bolts. The pressure screw and loose half of the contact

tube are not required for this application.

STwin wire 2x2,0 -- 2x3,0 mm, Heavy Twin:

GUse Twin contact jaws, for heavy electrodes (2x2,0 mm), see also Light

Twin.

GFit the contact jaws using the M5 bolts provided. NOTE! Fit the half of the

contact jaws with the projection in the fixed half of the contact tube.

GRemove the loose half of the contact tube when fitting new wire by undo-

ing the pressure screw.

GFeed the wire down and guide it into the groove in the fixed half of the

contact jaws (with projection).

GUndo the M5 bolts that hold the contact jaws and fit the loose half using

the M8 Allen bolt, so that both halves of the contact jaws surround the

electrode. Tighten the loose half of the contact jaws in place using the

M5 bolts to ensure good electrical contact.

SAdjusting the wires during Twin--arc welding:

Adjust the positions of the wires in the joint by rotating the contact tip. Both

wires can be rotated so that they are in line with the joint, or up to 90_across

the joint, i.e. one wire either side of the joint.

11. Filling up with flux

SClose the flux valve on the flux container.

SRemove the separator for the flux pump, if fitted. Fill with flux.

NOTE! The flux must be dry. If possible, avoid using agglomerated flux out-

side or in humid environments.

SAdjust the height of the flux nozzle above the weld to give the correct amount

of flux. The flux cover should be thick enough so that the arc cannot pen-

etrate it.
