2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 General

The A21 PRH 3-12 is an enclosed tube welding tool designed for TIG--welding of

tube joints.

Enclosed here m eans that the tube joint during the welding is surrounded by a

closed chamber in which a gas shield of inert gas protects the tungsten electrode,

the weld joint and the tube from oxidation.

The tube welding tool is clamped onto the the tube--joint by m eans of Welding head

Cartridge A or Welding head Cartridge B.

Welding head Cartridge MF is a cartridge machined for a specific tube size.

When you want to weld a different tube size the whole cartridge is replaced.

Weldin g head Cartridge C is a cartridge with clamping jaw collets.

When you want to weld a different tube size the clamping jaw collets are changed.

The tube welding tools are designed for use together with welding power sources

LTS 160, LTS 250, LTS 320 and LTP 450.

Rotor

The rotor is equipped with channels to lead the welding--gas into the welding--

chamber. The rotor is driven around the workpiece during the welding--process with

the preselected, controlled speed.

Electrode

The rotor carries the electrode. See also on page 73.

Cartridge MF

By means of Cartridge MF the tube welding tool is clamped onto the the tube--joint.

The workpiece becomes fixed in working pos ition by closing the upper parts of the

Cartridge and tightening them with the Locking screws (6).

Cartridge C

Cartridge C works as a holder for the clamping jaw collets (5).

The workpieces become fixed in working position by closing the upper parts of the

Cartridge and tightening them with the Locking screws (6).

Lights up when the electrode is not in home position.

2.4.3 Thumb screws

By means of the thumb screws the Welding head Cartridge is fixed into position.

2.4.4 Handle

For holding the welding tool.

A vice can also be used for holding the welding head. To avoid damage, this may

only be done carefully at the lower part of the weld head--body.

3 INSTALLATION

3.1 General

The installatio n must be executed by a profession al.

WARNING

Rotating parts can cause injury, take great care.

3.2 Requirements for the place of use

Place the tube welding tool in a weather--protected location.

Please note the restriction of the relative humidity at 90 % at the place of installation.

Environmental temperature:

S Min. -- 10 ˚C

S Max. + 25 ˚C (at higher temperatures, the duty--cycles must be reduced)

Relative humidity:

S Max. 90 %

3.3 Storage of the system

If the tube welding tool is not to be used for a long period of time remove it and place

in the delivery box.

Make sure that no corrosive conditions can occur during time of storage.

In such cases we recommend humidity--absorbing material for use inside the

delivery--box.

Before storage we recommend the following procedure:

S Clean the weld--head

S Remove all cooling agent.

Attention! Danger of hose-burst!

Never use pressure of more than 3,5 bar on the coolant hoses!

Blow out all the cooling agent inside the system by means of

compressed air into a container.

4.2 Equipment functions

4.2.1 Rotor

An opening within the rotor--circle (1) permits You to put the

weld head into welding--position and to remove it afterwards.

N.B. To position and remove the weld--head the

rotormustbein“HOME”--position(seethe

programming manual).

4.2.2 Locking screws

To open the Weld head Cartridge ( 3)the

Locking screws (2) must be released.

When the top parts of the Cartridge ( 3 )

have been opened the tube welding tool

can be removed from the workpiece

N.B. The tube welding tool must be

secured before opening the Locking

screws (2).

Adjustment of the L o cking screws

If the attachment between workpiece and weld head is not tight enough, the tube

may be out of tolerance. But there may also be some maladjustment or “wear“ on

the Locking screws, which is adjustable.

N.B. The Locking screws should only be tightened by hand.

4.2.3 Clamping jaw Collets for Weld head Cartridge C

Each tube--diameter has it’s own set of collets ( 4 ).

Each collet set consists of 4 parts.

-- 7 9 --

fna3o1ea

4.2.4 Electrode s

Electrode--set--screw

By means of this screw (1) the electrode is tightened after sliding it into one of the

electrode--holder--holes.

Please note, that there are two positions available for 1,0 mm electrodes.

Electrode--Length

The necessary length of the electrode can be figured out with the tube in place.

Please note, that the electrode never should reach into the gear collar--area.

Extra length has to be ground off.

For correct electrode--preparation please see on page 73.

Adjustment of Arc--length

The useful length of the arc may be determined depending on parameters like

tube--wall --thickness, tube-- and electrode diameter.

Adjustment of the arc--length is done by means of adjusting the electrode position.

Electrode Change

Slide the electrode after preparing the length into the electrode--hole and tighten it by

means of the electrode--set--screw (1)attherotor (2).

To remove an electrode, loosen the set--screw ( 1 ) and pull the electrode out of the

rotor (2).

4.3 Attaching the tube welding tool

1. Check that the weld--preparation are done in accordance to the burdens.

Refinish, if necessary

2. Check if a welding--procedure is preset or selected

3. Check that the rotor (1) is in home--position

If it isn’t m ove it.

4. Insert the clam ping jaw collets (2), (only when using Cartridge C)

5. Position the weld--head at the workpiece

6. Make sure, that the electrode is positioned exactly at the welding--joint

7. Close and tighten the upper part of the cartridge (3a).

8. Check that the arc--length has been adjusted correctly.

Adjust the electrode according to page 79.

9. Make sure that the welding tool is securely fixed, otherwise it could slip off.

10. Bring the tube--counter piece into position and tighten the upper part o f the

cartridge (3b).

Warning! Danger of over pressure!

Make sure, that no pressure--rise can occur inside the tube by

means of root gas!

11. Check that the root gas is ready

4.4 Welding

Warning! Danger to Your health!

Avoid breathing the welding vapours!

S Start of a welding program is initiated on the welding tool or the programming

unit.

S Watch the welding as far as possible.

S When the welding is terminated the tube welding tool automatically returns to

“HOME” --position.

If something is wrong welding is stopped from the welding tool or the

programming unit

4.5 Removing the tube welding tool

Warning!

Burning hazard at the workpiece and in the welding--zone of the

weld head!

N.B. Make sure that the tube welding tool has cooled down before r emoving.

S After termination of the welding--program, check that the rotor (1)isin

HOME--position.

If not, drive the rotor into “HOME“--position (see the programming manual).

S Check that the gas post--purge--time has elapsed.

S Release the Locking screws (2 )

S Open the upper parts of the Cartridge (3).

5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 General

Note:

All warranty undertakings given by the supplier cease to apply if the customer

attempts to rectify any faults on the machine during the warranty period.

The actual safety regulations must be followed precisely when

measures with regard to the In stallatio n/ Operation and

Maintenance are taken!

Never use lub ricants!

Use of lubricants leads to loss of warranty.

Damage, caused by particles in the gear, are also excluded from warranty!

5.2 After each 10th weld--seam:

S Change or regrind the electrode

5.3 Daily

S Check of the rotor--contact--surface, if necessary clean with red “Scotchbrite“

5.4 Weekly

S Check all bolts for tight seating;
