Maintenance and care

The following instructions for care depend, if not stated otherwise, strongly on the usage of the weld head.
Shorter cleaning intervals influence the equipment service life positively.

AcTIVITY
X Check for damage and ease of operation of all parts (e.g.
defective functional surfaces, leakages, cracks, defective
screw heads, etc.).
X Perform motor calibration (permissible tolerance of the
TARGET speed of rotation: < 2 %), see operating instruc-
tions of the Orbital welding power source.
X Check the keys for functionality.
X Check the lock and clamping mechanism for ease of use,
function and clamping.
X Check the correct basic setting ("0 position") The rotor must
be completely covered by the enclosure.
X Check correct electrode position/rotor setting before each
welding. To avoid voltage flashovers the rotor must be in
the "0 position" before each welding.
X Ensure the correct electrode gap (chap. 8.4.1, p. 66.
X Only use cleanly partially ground quality electrodes.
Recommendation: Type WS2, grinding angle 22.5° chap.
10.5, p. 82).
X Only use protective gases that are classified for the TIG
welding process according to DIN EN ISO 14175 (e.g. Argon
4.6 or purer protective gas for welding).
X Set the flow rate: 10 - 12 l/min.
X Set the gas pre-flow time to at least 30 seconds, with flow
force to at least 15 seconds.
X To ensure efficient cooling of the head, also between the
welding processes: Activate the "Pump follow-up time" at
the Orbimat welding power source (see operating instruc-
tions of the Orbital welding power source).
X Ensure a straight hose cut of 90° (with Orbital hose saw)
(burred and planed).
X I-seam (hose-to-hose) without gap or axle offset.
X Hose surfaces have to be metallically bright and completely
free of greases and other soiling.
X Clean and remove residues. Depending on the soiling by
using, for example, a wipe/alcohol/isopropyl, cleaning
fleece or vacuum cleaner (do not use aggressive cleaning
agents since the surfaces might be damaged otherwise).
X Wipe out the rotor with a lint-free cotton cloth.
Attention: Danger through rotating rotor!
