Maintenance and repair work should be performed by an experienced person, and electrical
work only by a trained electrician. Use only recommended replacement parts.
This service manual is intended for use by technicians with electrical/electronic training for
help in connection with fault--tracing and repair.
Use the connection diagram as a form of index for the description of operation. The circuit
board is divided into numbered blocks, which are described individually in more detail in
the description of operation. All component names in the connection diagram are listed in
the component description.
This manual contains details of all design changes that have been made up to and including
September 2001.
The LKB 265 and LKB 320 are designed and tested in accordance with international
and European standard IEC/EN 60974--1 and EN 50199.
On completion of service or repair work, it is the responsibility of the person(s) etc.
performing the work to ensure that the product does not depart from the requirements
of the above standard.

Sections 1--11 below refer to the diagrams on pages 6 -- 13.
1 Power supply
The circuit board uses two different supply voltages: 16 V f or the electronics and
42 V for power supply to the motor, contactor and gas valve.
clk b0e05
S Power supply to the electronic circuitry
The 16 V power supply from transformer TC1 is rectified by diodes D3--D6 and
regulated to 15 V by voltage regulator VR1.
S 42 V power supply
A_42VAC and B_42VAC are used as control power supplies for the contactor and
gas valve. Indicating lamp HL1 is mounted on the front of the machine and shows
that the power is turned on.
The supply is rectified by diode bridge BR1. The output voltage (60 V) supplies the
wire feed unit motor.

clk b0e07
Closing contact SB1 on the welding torch starts the welding process. The LKB 265
provides only two--stroke control mode: the LKB 320 provides a choice of
two--stroke or four--stroke control modes.

3 LKB 265 sp ot welding
clk b0e08
The LKB 265 has a spot--welding capability, which the LKB 320 does not. It is
active when the switch in potentiometer RP2 is closed. Spot welding time is
adjustable between 0.2 and 2.5 seconds.
If the welding torch trigger switch is released while a spot weld is being made, the
welding sequence will be interrupted.. If the switch is held closed for longer than
the spot weld time, welding stops when the spot weld time is up. To restart, the
switch must be released and then operated again.
4 Wire feed speed
The wire feed speed adjustment range is 1.9 to 19 metre/minute.
clkb0e06
The +5.1 V refer ence voltage (1 % ) is derived from the PWM circuit, which
generates gate pulses for the motor dr ive transistor.
-- 1 7 --clkb0de1
5 Motor drive / braking
clkb0e12
red
black
The motor is powered by the smoothed +60 V supply. Pulse width modulation of
transistor Q5 controls the motor voltage. The pulse frequency is about 9 kHz, and
maximum conduction time of the pulses is about 98 % of the pulse cycle time.
During the Off parts of the pulse cycle, the motor current freewheels through diode
D35.
At 24 V motor supply voltage, the wire feed roller speed is 160 r/min 5%. Ata
roller speed of 200 r/min, the wire feed speed is 19 m/min 5%.
S Speed control
The gate pulses to transistor Q5 are generated by a PWM circuit. Resistors R84 and
R85 form a potential divider, providing a voltage signal that is pr oportional to the
wire speed. The PWM circuit compares the set speed with the actual speed.
S Current limit
The current limit is set at 5.5 A. The motor current is measured by resistor R68,
which produces a voltage drop proportional to the current (1 A = 100 mV). The
current limit restricts t he conduction time of the gate pulses to transistor Q5.
S Braking
When the motor starts, capacitor C22 charges via diode D18. The voltage is limited
to 15 V by zener diode D13. The LED in optocoupler IC4 is activated when braking
is requir ed, connecting C22 (15 V) to the gate of transistor Q3. The tr ansistor
conducts and short--cir cuits the motor voltage via resistors R69 and R70, which limit
the braking current to about 20 A.
-- 1 8 --
clkb0de1
6 Burn--back time, co n t acto r, gas valve
clkb0e11
S Burn--back time
The burn--back time is the time from when motor braking starts until the main
contactor opens. When welding stops, capacitor C38 is discharged through
potentiometer R21. The time can be adjusted from 0 to 0.25 seconds.
S Energising the contactor
The contactor is controlled by triac TC2.
S Gas valve
The gas valve is connected to board contacts A5 and A6.
S LKB 265
The valve receives its power supply from triac TC2 via resistor R20 (0τ).
S LKB 320
The valve receives its power supply from triac TC1.
-- 1 9 --clkb0de1
7 Thermal overload cutout
The thermal overload cutout ST1 is mounted on the cooling fins of the diode bridge,
and operates at a temperature of 110 C in both machines.
The thermal overload cutout ST2 is mounted in the winding of transformer TM1,
and operates at a temperature of 110 C in LKB 265 and at 130 C in LKB 320.
The overload cutout ST2 is mounted from machine number XXX 640 XXXX.
A current normally flows through the cutouts f rom the +20 V supply via R2 and D2,
and from the +15 V supply via R8. The voltage at contact C1 is kept low by the
switch. If a cutout operates, C1 goes high and the output signals from the boar d are
disabled.
Operation of the cutout causes a current to flow from +20 V to 0 V via R2, D1 and
LED V7, which indicates operation of the cutout.
