  • Page 14 MAIN MENU From the main menu you can choose from GMAW, GTAW, or MMA welding modes. The screen will also display the current user and date in the top bar. MMA - Stick welding mode and is used for the MMA arc welding process. LIFT TIG - LIFT ARC TIG mode and includes pulse.
  • Page 15 GMAW FUNCTIONS 1. Program selection display - The top bar displays the welding modes selected. 2. Wire Speed - This adjusts the wire speed and corresponding amperage and will be a different ratio depending on the welding program selected. 3. Voltage and Arc Length - This adjusts the voltage which is relevant to the arc length and heat input.

  • Page 16: Torch Trigger Modes

    TORCH TRIGGER MODES The torch trigger modes can be used to change the welding amperage and voltage while welding. This can be useful for when welding aluminum to use higher values at the start of the weld and lower at the end as the metal heats up preventing burn through and as a crater current.
  • Page 17 GMAW PROGRAMS (DUAL PULSE) From the programs menu you can select all common welding wires and the machine will calculate the correct wire speed to amperage ratio along with voltage inputs. NOTE: There is different programs available for the Synergic, Single and dual pulse program modes.

  • Page 20 GTAW FUNCTIONS The GTAW welding mode uses lift arc to establish the arc. This is done by pressing the trigger switch then lifting the tungsten off the work piece with the torch the arc will then start. Start Amps - Initial welding maps Upslope - Time to the main welding amps Down Slope - Time to the last welding amps End Amps - Last welding amps...
  • Page 21 MMA FUNCTIONS The MMA welding process can be performed with this machine. Hot Start - Increases the start current to help arc starts. Arc Force - Temporary increase of the output current during welding when the arc is too short. Antistick - Helps prevent rod sticking.
  • Page 22 PULSE MIG The SWS ALUMMIG 230 dual pulse MIG welder makes pulse MIG welding simple by synergically controlling the pulse with both Single and Double pulse waveforms. This means that the machine is taking care of the complicated calculations needed to create a smooth stable pulse action without the need to dial in every parameter taking out user error and reducing setup time significantly.

  • Page 23: Wire Feeder

    WIRE FEEDER The wire feeder is mainly composed of driving motor, speed reducer, wire feeding roller, pressure roller, pressure adjusting component, wire feeding joint, support frame and other components. The welding wire enters the groove of the wire feeding roller by the wire feeding tube, and the pressing device applies appropriate pressure to the welding wire.
  • Page 24 WIRE FEEDER The matching of welding wire and feed roller Using the wire according to the specification on both sides of the feeding roller, pay attention to the corresponding relationship of the marking and slot Feed roller use and replacement To prevent slippage, the protective grease should be cleaned from the feed roller.
