How to Maintain and Troubleshoot Orbital TIG Welder

2024-12-25 10:50:30

As a high-precision welding equipment, orbital tig welder is widely used in pipeline, aviation, pharmaceutical and other industries. In order to ensure the efficient operation of the equipment and extend its service life, daily maintenance and troubleshooting become particularly important. This article will start from three aspects: daily maintenance, common faults and their cause analysis, and solutions to help users better use orbital tig welder.

Daily maintenance of orbital tig welder

1. Cleaning equipment
After each use, clean the surface of the welder and the welding head to prevent the accumulation of metal dust and spatter generated during welding.

Use a soft cloth and appropriate detergent to prevent moisture or corrosive chemicals from entering the equipment.

2. Check cables and connectors
Regularly check the power cord, welding cable and control line to ensure that there is no wear, breakage or poor contact.

If the cable is found to be aging or the connector is loose, it should be replaced or tightened in time.

3. Welding head maintenance
Regularly replace the electrode and nozzle to ensure the quality of welding.

Check whether the welding head cooling system is operating normally and add coolant if necessary.

4. Gas flow detection
Check whether the flow of shielding gas (such as argon) is stable to ensure the gas shielding effect during welding.
Ensure that there is no leakage in the gas pipeline.

5. Calibrate equipment regularly
Calibrate the current, voltage and other parameters of the welding machine regularly to ensure the accuracy of welding parameters.

Common faults and cause analysis of Orbital tig welder

1. Unstable arc
Cause analysis: Damaged electrode, insufficient gas flow or poor contact of welding cable may cause unstable arc.
Solution: Check and replace the electrode, adjust the gas flow, and ensure that the cable is well connected.

2. Porosity appears in the weld
Cause analysis: Impure shielding gas, insufficient gas flow or insufficient cleaning of the welding area.
Solution: Replace high-purity shielding gas, adjust gas flow, and ensure that the welding area is clean and free of oil.

3. The temperature of the welding head is too high
Cause analysis: Failure of the cooling system or long-term high-load operation.
Solution: Check whether the coolant is sufficient and whether the cooling system is blocked. If necessary, stop using it and let the equipment cool down.

4. The equipment cannot start
Cause analysis: power connection problem, internal circuit failure or safety switch is not turned off.
Solution: Check whether the power plug, circuit fuse and safety switch are normal, and contact technical support if necessary.

5. Abnormal welding parameters
Cause analysis: control panel failure or parameter setting error.
Solution: Check the control panel function and reset the welding parameters. If the problem persists, repair may be required.

Key steps for troubleshooting Orbital tig welder

1. Preliminary inspection
When the equipment fails, first check whether the power supply, gas and cooling system are normal.
Carefully observe the error code on the device display and troubleshoot according to the instructions provided in the user manual.

2. Step-by-step testing
Test each module of the automatic tig welder one by one, such as the power module, welding head, cooling system and control panel, to find the fault point.
During the test, be sure to keep records so that the fault trend can be analyzed.

3. Contact professional technical support
If the problem cannot be solved by simple maintenance, it is recommended to contact the automatic tig welder supplier or professional maintenance team to ensure that the maintenance process is safe and efficient.

Summary and suggestions

Maintenance and troubleshooting are important parts of automatic tig welder management. Through daily cleaning, inspection and maintenance, the frequency of equipment failures can be effectively reduced. In addition, when facing equipment failures, you should remain calm and follow a scientific troubleshooting process to ensure that the problem is solved quickly.

It is recommended that companies regularly organize equipment operator training to learn welding machine maintenance and troubleshooting skills, so as to improve the operating stability and service life of the equipment and ensure production efficiency.
