SInsulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.

SEnsure your working stance is safe.

FUMES AND GASES -- Can be dangerous to health

SKeep your head out of the fumes.

SUse ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases away from your breathing zone

and the general area.

ARC RAYS -- Can injure eyes and burn skin.

SProtect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective

clothing.

SProtect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

FIRE HAZARD

SSparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.

NOISE -- Excessive noise can damage hearing

SProtect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.

SWarn bystanders of the risk.

MALFUNCTION -- Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

3 INTRODUCTION

3.1 General

All the automatic welding machines included in this instruction manual are designed

for SAW and MIG/MAG welding of butt and fillet joints.

ESAB’s welding heads are of the A6 S type and are intended for use in combination

with A2--A6 Process Controller and ESAB’s welding power sources LAF and TAF.

The welding head can be positioned horizontally and vertically with the linear slides.

The angular position is adjusted with the angular slide.

3.2 Definitions

SAW welding The weld bead is protected by a cover of flux during the

welding.

SAW Heavy duty Permits welding with high current load and thick wire.

SAW Light duty Permits welding with low current load and thin wire.

MIG/MAG welding The weld bead is protected by shielding gas during wel-

ding.

Tandem welding Welding with two welding heads.

Twinarc welding Welding with two wires in the same welding head.

3.4 Welding method

Submerged arc welding (SAW)

For SAW welding the A6 SF welding head is always used. It is available in the

following designs:

SSubmerged--arc Light duty

Submerged--arc light duty, with a ∅20 mm connector, which permits a load of up

to 800 A (100%) or 1000 A (60%).

SSubmerged--arc Heavy duty

Submerged--arc heavy duty, with a ∅35 mm connector, which permits a load of

up to 1500 A.

Both versions can be equipped with feed rollers for single or twin wire welding (twin--

arc). A special knurled feed roller is available for flux--cored wire, which guarantees

even wire feed without the risk of deformation due to high feed pressure.

For work in confined spaces, (smaller than 50 cm), a special welding head of type

A6 SFE1C is available, which can be installed on the Mastertrac as required.

Tandem welding (submerged--arc)

For tandem welding, a welding head of type A6 SFE2 is always used, which must be

connected to 2 welding power sources and 2 control boxes of type A2--A6 Process

Controller.

The tandem welding head includes 2 single welding heads (A6 SF), each with its

own contact tip. Each contact tip has a maximum rated load of 1500 A.

MIG/MAG welding

For MIG/MAG welding the A6 SG welding head is always used, permitting a max.

load of 600 A. The welding head is water--cooled, with the cooling water supplied by

hoses from connections intended for the purpose.

3.5 Equipment

Included in a complete welding head are a feed motor (A6 VEC) to feed in the wire

and contact equipment which supplies current to the wire and provides a good con-

tact.

Contact equipment is available in several different versions.

SA6 SF is used for submerged--arc welding.

SA6 SG is used for MIG/MAG welding.

5 OPERATION

5.1 General

General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment can be found on

page 64. Read through before you start using the equipment!

SSelect wire type and flux or shielding gas so that the weld material is as close as

possible to the analysis of the base metal. Select wire size and welding data in

accordance with the values recommended by the welding materials supplier.

SThorough preparation of the weld surfaces is necessary to achieve a good weld.

NOTE! The width of the weld joint gap must be uniform.

STo minimise the risk of heat crack formation, the width of the weld must be

greater than the penetration depth.

SAlways carry out a test weld with the same joint type and sheet thickness as the

production work piece.

SFor control and adjustment of the automatic welding machine and welding power

supply, see the instruction manual for the A2--A6 Process Controller (PEH).

SFor replacement of wear parts, see table on page 204.

5.2 Starting work

Loading the welding wire

SRemove the wire drum (1) from the brake hub (2)

and take off the side plate (3).

SLocate the wire reel on the wire drum (1).

SCut off the binding wires from around the

wire reel.

SFit the side plate (3).

SFit the wire drum (1) on the brake hub (2).

Check that the carrier (4) is in the correct position.

NOTE! The maximum angle for the wire bobbin is 25°.

At extreme angles, wear will occur on the brake hub locking

mechanism and the wire bobbin will slide off the brake hub.

WARNING

To prevent the reel sliding off the hub:

Lock the reel in place by turning the red knob as shown

on the warning label attached next to the hub.
