Fault Finding - AWELCO MIG ONE Manual De Usuario

· Very thick or wide welding
Can be caused by moving the torch too slowly.
· Wire burns back
It can be caused by wire feed slipping, loose or damaged
welding tip, poor wire, nozzle held too close to work or
voltage too high.
· Little penetration
It can be caused by moving torch too fast, too low voltage
setting or incorrect feed setting, reversed polarity, insufficient
blunting and distance between
operational parameters
preparation of the workpieces.
· Workpiece's piercing
It may be caused by moving the welding torch too slow, too
high welding power or by an invalid wire feeding.
· Heavy spatter and porosity
It can be caused by nozzle too far from work, dirt on work or
by low gas flow. You have to the two parameters, remeber
that gas has not to be lower than 7-8 liters/ min. and that the
current of welding is appropriated to the wire you are using. It
is advisable to have a pressure reducer of input and output.
On the manometer you can read the range expressed in liter.
· Welding arc instability
It may be caused by an insufficient welding voltage, irregular
wire feed, insufficient protective welding gas.

FAULT FINDING

REASON
Dirt in liner and/or contact tip
The frition brake in the hub
is too tightened
Faulty welding torch
Contact tip defect
Burns in contact tip
Dirt in feed roll groove
Feed roll's groove worn
Bad concat between earth clamp
and workpiece
Short-circuit between contact tip
and gas shroud
Failre of gas shield owing to
spatters in gas shro
Wrong welding torch distance
and/or inclination from workpiece
Too small gas flux
Humid workpieces
Heavily rusted workpieces
Welding machine overheated due
to an excessive use in stated duty
