Design and function Function specification Function specification General TIG torches are connected to the power source via the hose package. The following components are guided through the hose package: • welding current lead • shielding gas supply • control cable In TIG welding, the welding consumable is usually added manually in form of a stick.
Design and function TIG Up/Down torch If the rotary gas valve is open, the shielding gas flows permanently from the welding torch (no adjustment with a separate gas valve). The rotary valve must be opened before each welding procedure and closed after each welding procedure. TIG Up/Down torch Figure 5-5 Item Symbol...

Which functions are assigned to the individual operating elements depends on the welding machine used.
Maintenance, care and disposal General Maintenance, care and disposal General DANGER Risk of injury due to electrical voltage after switching off! Working on an open machine can lead to fatal injuries! Capacitors are loaded with electrical voltage during operation. Voltage remains present for up to four minutes after the mains plug is removed.
Maintenance, care and disposal General Torch connection • The thread of the crown nut is dirty or damaged. • For water-cooled welding torches, check the coolant connections for damage. Grip • Cracks, penetration Hose package • Cracks, penetration Figure 6-1 To prevent damage and malfunction of the welding torch: •...
Maintenance, care and disposal Regular maintenance Regular maintenance The regular maintenance of a welding torch depends heavily on the duration of use and the stress and must be specified by the operator / owner. As a rule of thumb, every time the wire spool or wire basket is replaced or, if necessary, at a change of shift.
