9.2 Cleaning the torch neck
EN - 18
The parts of TIG welding torches listed below are subject to wear and soiling.
This is why these parts must be subjected to regular maintenance and cleaning.
1 Remove welding spatter.
2 Check all screw joints for tight fit.
BINZEL offers repair services at the factory.
Sharpening the tungsten electrode depends on wear and must therefore be
carried out when required.
NOTE
• The length of the electrode tip should be about 1-1.5 times the electrode
diameter.
Fig. 7 Sharpening the tungsten electrode
To sharpen the tungsten electrode, use a sharpening device with a diamond
wheel. In doing so, observe the following:
• The point is sharpened longitudinally through the centre axis.
• Can be set for all electrode diameters.
• Offers continuous adjustment of the angle.
1 Remove gas nozzle.
2 Check wear parts for visible damage and replace them, if required.
3 Clean the separating point and grease O-rings with silicone-free sealing
grease.
4 Check the TCP after each use or after a collision in the WH alignment jig.
