IMPORTANT!

To prevent the wire bobbin slipping

off the brake hub:

Lock the bobbin in place using the red knob,

as shown on the label (see drawing on right)

positioned next to the brake hub.

5. Contact tip equipment

SSingle wire 1.6 -- 2.5 mm (4.0 mm). Light duty (D20)

For use in restricted spaces, etc., with wire diameters up to 4.0 mm.

Use contact tube D20 with contact tip (M12 thread), see table on page 55.

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

contact.

For smaller wire diameters, 1.6 -- 2.5 mm, use a guide tube and separate fine

wire straightener.

SFit the clamp for the guide tube to the M12 hole normally used for the

fixed straightening roller on the standard wire straightener. The guide

tube should bottom against the contact tip. Trim the length so that there

is about a 5 mm gap between the wire feed roller and the end of the

tube.

SInstall the fine wire straightener on top of the clamp for the wire straigh-

tener unit.

SSingle wire 3.0 -- 6.0 mm. Heavy duty (D35)

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

the use of contact tube D20 for wires up to 4.0 mm in diameter in restricted

spaces.

SUse the standard wire straightener unit for the A6, consisting of one fixed

and one adjustable roller.

SInstall the contact jaws using the M5 bolts supplied, fitting one half of the

contact jaws in the fixed contact tube and the other in the loose half of

the split contact tube.

SInstall the loose half and contact jaw in position and tighten the pressure

screw to ensure good electrical contact between the contact jaw and the

electrode.

STube wire

Either the D20 or D35 contact tubes can be used for tube electrode.

If contact jaws (D35) are used only moderate pressure should be applied to

them to prevent deforming the tube wire. Make sure that good contact is ob-

tained with the wire.

INSTALLATION

STwin wire

Always use the D35 contact tube for twin wire, with a guide tube and separ-

ate wire straightener.

SFit the clamp for the guide tube to the M12 hole normally used for the

fixed straightening roller on the standard wire straightener. The guide

tube should bottom against the contact jaw (Heavy Twin) or against the

adapter for the contact tip (Light Twin).

STrim the length so that there is about a 5 mm gap between the wire feed

roller and the end of the tube.

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

Use (2) contact tips with M6 threads. For wire diameters see table on page

55.

STighten the contact tips well to ensure good electrical contact.

SFit the M5 adapter for the M6 contact tips in the fixed half of the split

contact tube. The pressure screw and the loose half of the contact tube

are not necessary for this application.

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

SUse Twin contact jaws for large diameter wires

(2x2,0 mm, see also Light Twin).

SFit the contact jaws using the M5 bolts supplied for the purpose.

NOTE! Fit the contact jaw half with the projection in the fixed section of

the contact tube.

SRemove the loose half of the contact tube when installing new wire by

undoing the pressure screw.

SFeed out the wire and guide it through the groove in the fixed half of the

contact jaws (projection).

SUnscrew the M5 bolt for the contact jaw and fit the loose half using an

M8 allen bolt, so that the half of the contact jaw with the projection and

the opposing half surround the wires. The loose section of the contact

tube is then bolted in place using the M5 bolts to provide good contact.

SAdjustment of wires for Twinarc welding:

Adjust the wires in the joint to give the optimum weld results by twisting the

contact tube. The wires can be rotated so that they are in line with the joint or

at any angle up to 90_to the joint, i.e., one wire each side of the joint.

STandem welding

SThe distance between the first wire and the second must not be so large

that the slag solidifies before the following wire reaches it.

SMake sure there is a good covering of flux between the first and second

wire.

OPERATION

1. Adjusting the braking torque:

STurn the locking knob (006) to

the locked position.

SInsert a screwdriver in the

hub springs.

STurning the springs (002) clock-

wise increases the braking torque.

STurning them anticlockwise reduces the torque.

NOTE! Turn the springs the same amount.

2. Check that the feed roller (1) and

contact jaws (4) are the correct size.

3. Changing the feed roller

(see wear components on page 53).

SSingle wire

SUndo knobs (5) and (6).

SUndo the hand wheel (2).

SReplace the feed roller.

Thewirediameterismarkedonthe

feed rollers.

STwin wire

SThe procedure for replacing twin wire

rollers is the same as for single wire

rollers.

SNOTE! Replace the pressure roller at the

same time. The special spherical pres-

sure roller for twin wire replaces the standard

roller for single wire.

SFit the pressure roller using the special shaft stud

(order no. 146 253--001).

STube wire

SReplace the feed roller and pressure roller as a pair for the required wire

size.

SNOTE! A special shaft stud is required for the pressure roller

(order no. 2129 011--01).

SDo not overtighten the pressure roller to avoid deforming the tube wire.

SInsert the end of the wire in the groove in the feed roller.

4. If the wire diameter is larger than 2 mm:

straighten out the first 0.5 m of the wire and feed it by hand through the wire

straightener.

5. Adjust the wire pressure on the feed roller using knob (6).

NOTE: Do not tighten more than necessary to ensure uniform feeding. Do not

tighten the knob (6) all the way, there should be some travel left in the spring.

6. Connect the power supply to the mains.

Feed the wire out about 30 mm using switch A 02 on control unit PEG1.

7. Straighten the wire by adjusting knob (5). Fine wire should be straight about

25 mm after it leaves the contact tip and heavy wire about 45 mm after the con-

tact tip.

The securing bolt (3) must not be removed.

WARNING!

Rotating parts can cause injury, take great care.

8. Select the wire and flux (or gas) so that the weld metal analysis roughly matches

that of the plate. Select the wire diameter and welding parameters as recom-

mended by the consumable manufacturer.

9. Connect the cooling water and gas (MIG/MAG welding).

10. Adjust the flux nozzle so that it does not bend and gives a good covering of flux

(submerged arc welding).

11. Make sure the distance between the carriage wheels and the weld joint is not

less than 50 mm during welding.

12. If the control handles are moved make sure they are screwed all the way in so

that the tapered surfaces meet. Use the holes in the guide handles to help

tighten them thoroughly. Clean the threads if necessary.
