Symptoms
The welding wire speed is not
constant.
The unwinding motor doesn't operate.
Bad wire unwinding.
No welding current
The wire rubs down after the rollers.
The welding cord is porous
Very important flashing particules.
No gas at the torch output.
TrIMIG
Reasons
Cracklings block up the opening.
The wire skids in the rollers.
Reel or roller brake too tight.
Electrical supply problem.
Covering wire guide dirty or damaged. Clean or replace
Reel brake too tight
Bad connection to the main supply.
Bad earth connection.
Power contactor inoperative.
Covering wire guide crushed.
Locking of the wire in the torch
No capillary tube.
Wire speed too fast
The gas flow rate is not sufficient.
Gas bottle empty.
Gas quality non-satisfying.
Air flow or wind influence.
Gas nozzle too full.
Bad wire quality.
Surface to weld in bad condtion. (rust,
etc, ...)
Arc voltage too low or too high.
Bad earth connection.
Protecting gas insufficient.
Bad gas connection.
Solutions
Clean out the contact batch or change
it and replace the anti-adherence
product. Ref.041806
Control the roller pressure or replace
it.
Wire diameter non-consonant with
roller.
Covering Wire guide in the torch non-
consonant.
Release the brake and rollers.
Check that the running button is on
the position on.
Release the brake
See the branch connection and look if
the plug is fed by 3 phases.
Control the earth cable (connection
and clamp condition).
Control the torch trigger.
Check the covering and torch body.
Clean or replace.
Check the presence of capillary tube.
Reduce the wire speed
Adjusting flow range 15 to 20 L / min.
Clean the working metal.
Replace it.
Replace it.
Avert air blast, protect welding area.
Clean or replace the gas nozzle.
Use adapted WIRE for MIG-MAG
welding.
Clean the working parts before
welding.
See welding settings.
Check and place the earth cable to
have a better connection.
Adjust the gas flow.
See if the gas coupling beside the
engine is well connected. Check the
flowmeter and the solenoid valves.
