Clamping the welding tongs onto the workpiece
INFO
Prerequisite:
• Pipe ends are tacked together light-/gap-free. If required, with preceding weld seam
preparation.
• Rotor must be in the Home/0-position.
NOTE!
For TP Standard/KD versions:
Before placing the weld tongs on
the workpiece, ensure that the
torch articulated arm (1) is locked
in the Home position.
INFO
For TP AVC/OSC versions:
Prerequisite: Remote control connected.
NOTE!
For TP AVC/OSC versions:
Before placing the welding tongs on the workpiece, move the AVC torch unit to the upper end
position (remote control: key "AVC" > "+" (red). The key "AVC" > "Limit" lights up red as
soon as the end position has been reached.
1. When the clamping unit is closed, use the rotating handle (2) laterally of the welding tongs to set the clamping jaws roughly to
the current pipe diameter.
2. Place the welding tongs on the workpiece and clamp using the clamping lever (3).
NOTE!
To avoid deformations or damage to the workpiece, adapt the clamping force to the wall
thickness of the workpiece.
3. If necessary, use the rotating handle (2) to correct the pipe diameter setting and use the clamping lever (3) to tighten the
welding tongs once more until it clamps the workpiece securely without greater force.
