  • Page 7: General Safety & Maintenance Information

    Rev. A: January 2015 1. General Safety & Maintenance Information The DEMTECH Services, Inc. Pro-X5 Thermoplastic Extrusion Welder, hereinafter referred to as the Pro-X5 or welder, is a high temperature and voltage piece of equipment. Always disconnect the power source before performing any service and/or maintenance procedures on the welder.

  • Page 8: Maintenance

    Before removing or installing spare parts or performing any other repair operations to the welder consult DEMTECH Services, Inc. or your authorized DEMTECH service center for advice on proper procedures. This will help insure a safe and successful outcome. Always make sure all screw connections are tight before attempting to operate the welder after maintenance and/or repair procedures have been performed.

  • Page 10: Site Preparation

    Rev. A: January 2015 4. Site Preparation Before proceeding with the unpacking and installation instructions in the following section(s), make sure the work site is prepared and ready to use the Pro-X5. You should have an adequate power source capable of providing clean Alternating Current (AC) power at 220-240 Volts at the welder rated current.

  • Page 11: Unpacking And Preparation

    Please notify DEMTECH Services, Inc. or your authorized DEMTECH distributor where the product was purchased in the event of any shipping damage. c. Make note of the orientation of the equipment and any packing foam inserts inside the shipping case to facilitate storage of the welder after use.

  • Page 14: Generator Recommendations

    Rev. A: January 2015 Electrical Extension Cords The Pro-X5 is capable of welding along very long seams. This ability may warrant the use of electrical extension cords. It is imperative to take into account the length and wire gauge of any extension cord used, as these factors will ultimately determine the actual operating voltage of the welder.

  • Page 15: Welder Controls

    Rev. A: January 2015 6. Welder Controls The Pro-X5 utilizes two temperature controllers located on the main control panel. The left controller operates the Pre-Heat temperature and the right controller operates the Plastic Heat (Barrel/molten rod) temperature (see Figure 6.1). Figure 6.1 600-Manual_Pro-X5 RA.docx Pro-X5 Operator’s Manual...

  • Page 16: Recommended Temperature Settings

    These factors make it impractical to create a chart that can universally cover all these varying conditions: Therefore, we recommend contacting DEMTECH Services, Inc. or your authorized DEMTECH distributor where the product was purchased to receive guidance for appropriate settings.

  • Page 17: Welder Set-Up And Operation

    Rev. A: January 2015 7. Welder Set-Up and Operation The initial set-up of the Pro-X5 is by far the most critical aspect for proper operation of the welder. Proper set-up not only leads to quality welding results, but also minimizes wear and tear on the welder itself.
  • Page 18 Rev. A: January 2015 Adjust the grip handle to the best position for the welding to be performed (see Figure 7.1). Loosen the handle by gripping the round knob and turning counter-clockwise. This will loosen the handle clamp. Position the handle within its 45° swing and tighten the handle by turning the round knob clockwise.

  • Page 19: Start A Weld

    Rev. A: January 2015 7.2. Start a weld Once the welder has stabilized at the operating temperature, insert the end of the welding rod into the feed port while simultaneously powering the drill motor (see Figure 7.2). Once the welding rod has been started, it will continue to self-feed as you weld. The welder drill motor should only be operated when welding rod is being continuously fed into the welder and should never be run dry.

  • Page 20: During A Weld

    Rev. A: January 2015 7.3. During a Weld Keep the welding rod being fed into the welder clean and dry. Foreign material such as dust, dirt, sand and water droplets introduced into the feed port can cause premature wear to the welder.

  • Page 21: Shut-Down Procedure

    Rev. A: January 2015 7.6. Shut-Down Procedure When all welding operations are complete, perform the following procedure to shut-down the Pro-X5 and ready it for storage. 1. Start the drive motor to cause one or two inches of extrudate to be pumped out of the Teflon Shoe exit orifice.

  • Page 22: Changing The Teflon Shoe Assembly

    Do not perform service unless you are qualified and trained to do so. a. Using a 5mm hex Allen wrench, loosen the two socket head cap Screws, DEMTECH part number 605-018, located on opposite sides of the Teflon Shoe Assembly (see Figure 7.4).
  • Page 23 Rev. A: January 2015 b. Remove the Teflon Shoe Assembly from the Nozzle, DEMTECH part number 600-20/X4. Due to melted plastic material buildup, removal of the Shoe may require strong twisting motion clockwise and counterclockwise and significant pulling force to remove (see Figure 7.5).

  • Page 24: Factory Servicing

    Carefully pack the Pro-X5 in the reusable portable shipping/storage case provided with the welder for return to DEMTECH Services, Inc. or to your authorized DEMTECH distributor where the product was purchased. Unless previous arrangements are made, shipping charges and insurance are the customer's responsibility.
