SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING FOR ALUMINIUM (FIG II)
These welding can weld 0.8 aluminium wires (fig II-B).
To weld aluminium, neutral gas "pure argon" (AR) is required. When choosing gas, ask a gas distributor for advice.
The gas flow in aluminium should be between 15 and 25 L / min depending on the environment and experience of the
welder.
Things to note when welding with Aluminium:
- Pressing rollers: use special motorcycle press rollers for aluminium to avoid deforming the wire cross-section.
- Set the pressure rollers of the wire feeder on the wire at the minimum pressure so as not to pinch the wire
- When welding aluminium use a special aluminium torch with Teflon sheath to reduce friction.It is used to guide the
wire from the rollers. (diagram II-B )
- If using a specific aluminium torch is not an option, replace the metal the liner in the steel torch by a Teflon sheath.
- Wire guide tube in the wire feeder connector : remove the tube before connecting the aluminium torch with Teflon liner.
- DO NOT cut the sheath near the edge of the connector !! This sheath guides the wire from the rollers (fige II-B).
- Contact Tip of the torch : Use the specific Aluminium contact tip corresponding to the diameter of the wire.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC BRAZING WELDING FOR HIGH-TENSILE STRENGTH STEELS
These welding are recommended by car manufacturers to braze-weld high-tensile strength plates with a cuprosilicium
CusI3 wire or cuproaluminium CuAl8 wire (Ø 0.8 mm). The welder must use a neutral gas: pure argon (Ar). For specific
gas requirements, seek advice from your gas distributor. The gas flow required s between 15 and 25 L / min.
GAS CONNECTION (FIG I)
Connect the manometer (flowmeter) to the gas bottle (manometer not supplied with the product). For use with one
or two bottles of gas.
Connect each bottle to the solenoid valves in the following order:
- IMS MIG CARPRO solenoid valve to the top left (fig I-B:11)
To avoid any gas leaks, always use the collars supplied with the product.
PROCESS OF REELS AND TORCHES ASSEMBLY (FIG III)
Open the device trapdoor.
- Place the reel on the driving pin (fig III-2) of the reel support.
- Adjust the reel brake (fig III-3) to avoid the reel inertia tangling the wire when welding stops. In general, do not tigh-
ten too much!
- The electrical roller (fig III-4) is a double groove roller (0,6/ 0,8). The indication on the visible side of the roller is the
diameter in use. For a 0,8 wire, use the 0,8 groove.
- For the first use:
- Release the fixing screw of the wire guide.
To set the adjusting knob of the pressing rollers (fig III-5), proceed as follow: loosen the knob fully, start the motor by
pressing the torch trigger, tighten the adjustment knob whilst pressing the trigger. Bend the wire where it comes out of
the nozzle and hold it in place to stop its progress. The setting is correct when the guide roller slides over the wire even
when it is blocked at the end of the torch. A common adjustment is the rollers command (fig III-5) on the scale 3 for
steel and 2 for aluminium.Nb: for the aluminium wire put a minimum pressure in order not to crush the wire.
