2SAFETY

Users of ESAB welding equipment have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that anyone who

works on or near the equipment observes all the relevant safety precautions.

Safety precautions must meet the requirements that apply to this type of welding equipment.

The following recommendations should be observed in addition to the standard regulations that apply

to the work place.

All work must be carried out by trained personnel well fa miliar with the operation of the welding equip-

ment.

Incorrect operation of the equipment may lead to hazard ous situations which can result in injury to the

operator and damage to the equipment.

1. Anyone who uses the welding equipment must be familiar with:

S its operation

S location of emergency stops

S its function

S relevant safety precautions

S welding

2. The operator must ensure that:

S no unauthorized person is stationed within the working area of the equipment when it is

started up.

S that no--one is unprotected when the arc is struck

3. The work place must:

S be suitable for the purpose

S be free from draughts

4. Personal safety equipment

S Always wear recommended personal safety equipment, such as safety glasses, flame--proof

clothing, safety gloves.

S Do not wear loose--fitting items, such as scarves, bracelets, rings, etc., which could become

trapped or cause burns.

5. General precautions

S Make sure the return cable is connected securely.

S Work on high voltage equipment shall only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

S Appropriate fire extinquishing equipment must be clearly marked and close at hand.

S Lubrication and maintenance must not be carried out on the equipment during operation.

WARNING

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.

ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAU-

TIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER’S SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE

BASED ON MANUFACTURERS’ HAZARD DATA.

ELECTRIC SHOCK -- Can kill

S Install and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable standards.

S Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.

S Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.

S Ensure your working stance is safe.

FUMES AND GASES -- Can be dangerous to health

S Keep your head out of the fumes.

S Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and

the general area.

ARC RAYS -- Can injure eyes and burn skin.

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

clothing.

S Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

FIRE HAZARD

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

NOISE -- Excessive noise can damage hearing

S Protect your ears. Use ear defenders or other hearing protection.

S Warn bystanders of the risk.

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

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

3 INTRODUCTION

3.1 General

A21 PRG is an equipment intended for automatic T IG welding of tube joints, particu -

larly adapted for the ESAB power sources PROTIG 315 and MECHTIG 315.

The A21 PRG 25--45 tube welding tool has been developed for the welding of heat

exchangers. The working range is 25--40 mm.

Space required for tubes arranged acc. to As to straight rows of tubes

figure, see diagram below. C--C is limited by the width of the

tool -- 100 mm. See dimension draw

ing.

dsa7d002

In case of welding with cold filler wir e the wire feed unit MEI 20 can be connected.

The tube welding tool A21 PRG (see fig. below) is adapted to the tool diameter by

way of exchangeable jaws ( 1) forming a V--block.

The opposite movable jaw (2) is pulled against the tube while turning the blocking

shaft (3), and by that the tool is fixed to the tube.

dsa7d1ea

Only the open gear ring (4) with the fitted components is rotating during welding. The

gear ring is rotated by the drive unit (5) consisting of a permanently magnetized DC

motor with a planetary gear. To obtain the necessary speed control accuracy a feed--

back system with tachometer generator is used.

The drive unit is connected to the gear unit (6) that drives the open gear ring by way

of two wheels (7). Before dismounting the tool from the tube, the gear ring must be

rotated until the opening coincides with the opening of the fork ( 9). This is done over

the control box.

The welding head is designed so as to keep the wire

distance constant in relation to the envelope surface

during welding.

The distance of the wire to the joint as well as its lateral

position can be fine--adjusted, see instructions under

damaged cable on the elctrode holder

and the adapter.

S Replace the cable.

Gas hose (5):

S Remove the screws (3) and the

ones corresponding to (2) of the

adapter.

S Replace the hose.

S Press the gas sleeve (4) home when remounting so that one of

the holes comes just opposite screw (3). Lock with screw (3).

Gas lens, electro d e sleeve, sealing washer:

S Loosen screw (1) and dismount nut (8). The above parts can now be replaced.

When mounting the parts, see to it that the side hole of the electrode sleeve

comes just opposite the screw.
