  • DO NOT use these handles for suspending or mounting the power source in any other manner.

SAFE PRACTICES

SAFE PRACTICES WHEN USING WELDING EQUIPMENT

  • These notes are provided in the interestsof improving operator safety. They should be considered only as a basic guide to
  • Safe Working Habits. A full list of Standards pertaining to industry is available from the Standards Association of Australia, also various State Electricity Authorities,
  • Departments of Labour and Industry or Mines Department and other Local
  • Health or Safety Inspection Authorities may have additional requirements.
  • Australian Standard AS1674.2 provides a comprehensive guide to safe practices in welding.

Eye Protection

NEVER LOOK AT AN ARC WITHOUT PROTECTION
Wear a helmet with safety goggles or glasses with side shields underneath, with appropriate filter lenses protected by clear cover lens. This is a MUST for welding, cutting, and chipping to protect the eyes from radiant energy and flying metal. Replace the cover lens when broken, pitted, or spattered.

Recommended Shade Filter Lens

Burn Protection

  • The welding arc is intense and visibly bright. Its radiation can damage eyes, penetrate
  • light-weight clothing, reflect from lightcoloured surfaces, and burn the skin and eyes. Burns resulting from gas-shielded arcs resemble acute sunburn, but can be more severe and painful.
  • Wear protective clothing – leather or heat resistant gloves, hat, and safety-toe boots.
  • Button shirt collar and pocket flaps, and wear cuff less trousers to avoid entry of sparks and slag.
  • Avoid oily or greasy clothing. A spark may ignite them. Hot metal such as electrode stubs and work pieces should never be handled without gloves.
  • Ear plugs should be worn when welding in overhead positions or in a confined space.
  • A hard hat should be worn when others are working overhead.
  • Flammable hair preparations should not be used by persons intending to weld or cut.

Toxic Fumes
Adequate ventilation with air is essential. Severe discomfort, illness or death can result from fumes, vapours, heat, or oxygen depletion that welding or cutting may produce. NEVER ventilate with oxygen. Lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury, and beryllium bearing and similar materials when welded or cut may produce harmful concentrations of toxic fumes. Adequate local exhaust ventilation must be used, or each person in the area as well as the operator must wear an air-supplied respirator. For beryllium, both must be used. Metals coated with or containing materials that emit fumes should not be heated unless coating is removed from the work surface, the area is well ventilated, or the operator wears an air-supplied respirator. Work in a confined space only while it is being ventilated and, if necessary, while wearing air- supplied respirator. Vapours from chlorinated solvents can be decomposed by the heat of the arc (or  flame) to form phosgene, a highly toxicgas, and lung and eye irritating products. The ultra-violet (radiant) energy of the arc can also decompose trichlorethylene and perchloroethylene vapours to form phosgene. Do not weld or cut where solvent vapours can be drawn into the welding or cutting atmosphere or where the radiant energy can penetrate to atmospheres containing even minute amounts of trichlorethylene or perchloroethylene.

Fire and Explosion Prevention

  • Be aware that flying sparks or falling slag can pass through cracks, along pipes, through windows or doors, and through wall or floor openings, out of sight of the operator. Sparks and slag can travel up to 10 metres from the arc.
  • Keep equipment clean and operable, free of oil, grease, and (in electrical parts) of metallic particles that can cause short circuits.
  • If combustibles are present in the work area, do NOT weld or cut. Move the work if practicable, to an area free of combustibles. Avoid paint spray rooms, dip tanks, storage areas, ventilators. If the work can not be moved, move combustibles at least 10 metres away out of reach of sparks and heat; or protect against ignition with suitable and snug-fitting fire-resistant covers or shields.

Walls touching combustibles on opposite sides should not be welded on or cut. Walls, ceilings, and floor near work should be protected by heat-resistant covers or shields. A person acting as Fire Watcher must be standing by with suitable fire extinguishing equipment during and for some time after welding or cutting if;

  • Combustibles (including building construction) are within 10 metres.
  • Combustibles are further than 10 metres but can be ignited by sparks.
  • Openings (concealed or visible) in floors or walls within 10 metres may exposecombustibles to sparks.
  • Combustibles adjacent to walls, ceilings, roofs, or metal partitions can be ignited by radiant or conducted heat.

After work is done, check that area is free of sparks, glowing embers, and flames.  A tank or drum which has contained combustibles can produce flamma blevapours when heated. Such a container must never be welded on or cut, unless it has first been cleaned as described in AS.1674-2. This includes a thorough steam or caustic cleaning (or a solvent or water washing, depending on the combustible’s solubility), followed by purging and inerting with nitrogen or carbon dioxide, and using protective equipment as recommended in AS.1674-2. Water-filling just below working level may substitute for inerting.Hollow castings or containers must be vented before welding or cutting. They can explode. Never weld or cut where the air may contain flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapours.

Shock Prevention

  • Exposed conductors or other bare metal in the welding circuit, or ungrounded electrically alive equipment can fatally shock a person whose body becomes a conductor. Ensure that the equipment is correctly connected and earthed. If unsure have the equipment installed by a qualified electrician. On mobile or portable equipment, regularly inspect condition of trailing power leads and connecting plugs.
  • Repair or replace damaged leads.
  • Fully insulated electrode holders should be used. Do not use holders with protruding screws. Fully insulated lock-type connectors should be used to join weldingcable lengths.
  • Terminals and other exposed parts of electrical units should have insulated knobsor covers secured before operation.

If the supply cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their service agent or a similarly qualified person.

INTRODUCTION

  • Gas Metal Arc Welding (G.M.A.W.) is an arc welding process where a consumable wire is fed by motor driven feed rolls to a welding gun, and where welding current is supplied from the welding power source.
  • The welding arc is struck between the work piece and the end of the wire, which melts into the weld pool. The arc and the weld pool are both shielded by gas flow from the gun, or in the case of “self shielded” wires, by gases generated by the wire core.
  • The process is very versatile in that by selection of the correct wire composition, diameter and shielding gas, it can be used for applications ranging from sheet-metal to heavy plate, and metals ranging from carbon steel to aluminium alloys.
  • The Weldmatic Fabricator has been designed to be used with consumable wires in the range from 0.6mm to 1.6mm diameter. The smaller wire sizes are used when welding at lower currents, such as sheet-metal applications. Increasing the wire diameter permits higher welding currents to be selected.
  • A common application of G.M.A.W. is for welding Mild Steel. In this application, a Mild Steel solid consumable wire such as AUSTMIG ES6 is used with a shielding gas of Carbon Dioxide, or Argon mixed with Carbon Dioxide. Alternatively, Flux-cored consumable wires are available in both gas shielded, and ‘gasless’ self shielding types. Stainless steel and Aluminium can be welded with G.M.A.W. using the correct consumable wire and shielding gas.

INSTALLATION

Connection to Electrical Mains Power Supply
NOTE. All electrical work shall only be undertaken by a qualified electrician.

  • The Weldmatic Fabricator is supplied with a 5 metre 4 core 50/0.25 Heavy Duty PVC mains power supply cable. This cable should be correctly connected to a suitable 3 Phase plug top or fixed connection point.
  • The minimum capacity of the mains wiring and power outlet supplying a welder is selected according to the effective primary current of the machine. The effective primary current for a Weldmatic Fabricator is 18 Amps.
  • The minimum recommended mains circuit breaker rating for a Weldmatic Fabricator is 25 Amps.
    • Note: Due to normal variations of sensitivity, the tripping time of some 25A circuit breakers may limit the duty cycle available from the Weldmatic Fabricator.
  • A higher rated circuit breaker can be selected, but the mains wiring capacity must be increased to suit.
  • The current rating of the mains cable depends on cable size and method of installation. Refer to AS/NZS 3008.1, Table 9.
  • If it becomes necessary to replace the mains flexible supply cable, use only cable with correct current rating. Access to the supply terminals is gained by removing the power source side panels.
  • The replacement cable must be fitted and retained in the same manner as theoriginal.

Output Voltage Polarity
The design of the Weldmatic Fabricator allows selection of the output voltage polarity.
Positive Wire
G.M.A.W. with solid consumable wires is carried out with the work piece Negative and the welding wire Positive. To setup for this condition, connect the ‘WORK’ lead plug into the (-) output socket on the Power Source, and the ‘WELDING’ lead from the wirefeeder into the (+) socket on the Power Source, as in Figure 2.

Negative Wire
Some ‘self-shielded’ flux cored consumable wires are operated with the work piece Positive and the consumable wire Negative. Refer to the manufacturers data for the particular consumable wire to be used. To setup for this condition, connect the ‘WORK’ lead plug into the (+) output socket  on the Power Source, and the ‘WELDING’lead from the wirefeeder into the (-) socket on the Power Source, as in Figure 3.

Fitting Eye Bolts
Remove 12mm transport bolts and replace with supplied eye bolts and fibre washers. Centralise the internal nut as the eye bolt is tightened. Use a bar through the centre of the eye bolts to tighten firmly.
Fitting the Gas Cylinder
Place the gas cylinder on the tray at the rear of the welder. Retain the cylinder with the chain provided. Fit the gas regulator to the cylinder. DO NOT apply grease or oil to these joints. Fit the end of the gas inlet hose from the rear of the machine to the connector supplied with the gas regulator, and secure with the clamp also supplied.
Remote Wirefeeder
The remote wirefeeder is connected to the Weldmatic Fabricator power source via the composite cable interconnecting  lead. Check all connections are firmly madeto ensure good electrical contact, and to prevent gas leaks.

NORMAL WELDING SEQUENCE

Weld Start
Closing the welding gun switch initiates this sequence of events:

  • The gas valve is energised and gas flow commences and continues for any pregas time set
  • The power source contactor function is initiated. Welding voltage is applied between the work piece and the consumable wire
  • The wire drive motor is energised
  • The wire touches the work piece, and the arc is established.

Weld End
Releasing the gun switch initiates this sequence of events:

  • The wire drive motor is de-energised, and is dynamically braked to a stop
  • After a short pre-set period, known as the ‘burn-back’ time, the Power-source contactor function is released. This period ensures that the consumable wire does not ‘freeze’ in the weld pool
  • At the completion of any post-gas time set, the gas valve is de-energised and the flow of shielding gas ceases.

BASIC WELDING INFORMATION

Choice of Shielding Gas
The choice of shielding gas is largely determined by the consumable wire to be used. Many proprietary shielding gas mixtures are available. The recommended shielding gases for use with the Weldmatic Fabricator are:

  • Mild Steel: Argon + 5 to 25% Carbon Dioxide; 100% CO2
  • Aluminium: Argon;
  • Stainless Steel: Argon + 1 to 2% Oxygen.

Consult your gas supplier if more specific information is required.

Shielding Gas Flow Rate

  • In G.M.A. welding, one function of the shielding gas is to protect the molten weld pool from the effects of oxygen in the atmosphere. Without this protection the weld deposit becomes ‘honeycombed’ in appearance, an effect which is described as weld porosity.
  • In draft-free conditions the gas flow rate required to give adequate protection is typically 10-12 litres/min. In situations where drafts cannot be avoided, it may be necessary to increase this rate up to 20 litres/min, and/or to provide screening of the work area.
  • Weld porosity can also be caused by air entering the gas stream through a damaged hose, loose gas connection, or from restriction in the nozzle, such as from excess build-up of spatter.
  • When welding aluminium, particular care must be taken with all aspects of shielding gas delivery and workpiece preparation in order to avoid weld porosity.

Establishing a Weld Setting
Once the consumable wire type, wire size and shielding gas have been chosen, the two variables that are adjusted in order to obtain the desired weld setting are:

  • Wirefeed speed,
  • Welding arc voltage.

The wirefeed speed determines the welding current; increasing the speed increases the current, and decreasing it decreases current. The selected wirefeed speed must be matched with sufficient arc voltage; a speed increase requires an increase of arc voltage. If the voltage is too low the wire will stub and stutter, and there will not be a steady arc. If the voltage is too high the arc will be long with metal transfer occurring as a series of large droplets. Important: Do not operate the Voltage

Control switches during welding.

  • The weld setting should be chosen to suit the application and the thickness of the metal to be welded. It is important to check that the deposited weld provides sufficient strength to suit the application.
  • A “good” weld will have the characteristics illustrated in Figure 4. The weld has penetrated into the parent metal, fusing the root of the joint where the two plates meet, and the weld blends smoothly into the side walls.
  • A “bad” weld is shown in Figure 5. The weld has not penetrated the joint root, and there is poor side wall fusion. This lack of fusion would normally be corrected by increasing the arc voltage, or by increasing both wirefeed speed and arc voltage to achieve a higher current weld setting.WIA-CP149-1-Weldmatic-Fabricator-FIG-1 \(4\)

Gun Position
For “down hand” fillet welding, the gun is normally positioned as shown in Figure 6 below with the nozzle end pointing in the direction of travel.WIA-

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Before removing the power source covers, ENSURE that the equipment is disconnected from the mains power supply. When the equipment is energised LETHAL VOLTAGES are present on the electrical components enclosed.

Dust
Care should be taken to prevent excessive build-up of dust and dirt within the welding power source. It is recommended that at regular intervals, according to the prevailing conditions, the equipment covers be removed and any accumulated dust be removed by the use of a dry, low pressure compressed air, or a vacuum cleaner. The machine should be blown out with compressed air at least every 12 months as grinding dust can settle on PCB componentry causing failure. Failure to maintain machines may void warranty.

Wirefeed
In order to obtain the most satisfactory welding results from the G.M.A.W. process, the wirefeed must be smooth and constant. Most causes of erratic wirefeed can be cured by basic maintenance. Check the General Maintenance section of the Wirefeeder Operators Manual for more details.
