    Operating manual - EN 1. FLEXLITE TX These instructions describe the use of Kemppi's Flexlite TX TIG welding torches. Flexlite TX torches are designed for manual welding in demanding industrial use and they are compatible with Kemppi TIG welding equipment with 4- pin or 7-pin connectors.
  • Page 4: About Equipment

    K3 level torches differ from K5 level torches in connectors, for example. For information on K3 level torch connectors, refer to "Connecting torch" on page 11. 10. ON/OFF switch 11. Switch cover 12. Torch handle © Kemppi 4/28 1920910 / 2002...

Such code can be read by a smartphone camera or with a dedicated code reader device providing fast access to the device-specific information. © Kemppi 5/28 1920910 / 2002...
  • Page 6: Installation

    This chapter describes a typical Flexlite TX welding torch assembly. The details shown may vary depending on the exact torch setup. Install the insulating ring and collet body. Some Flexlite TX torch models also include a back cap insulating ring, in addition to the gas nozzle insulating ring. © Kemppi 6/28 1920910 / 2002...
  • Page 7 Prior to installing the tungsten electrode, grind the electrode tip to the appropriate dimensions for your weld- ing application. For more information, refer to the section "Electrode tip" on page 15. Push the electrode into the torch and through the collet and gas nozzle. © Kemppi 7/28 1920910 / 2002...

    For connecting the torch, refer also to your welding equipment’s instructions. Gas-cooled TIG torch (K5 level) Connect the welding cable and the control cable to the power source. Secure by turning the connectors clock- wise. © Kemppi 11/28 1920910 / 2002...
  • Page 12 Connect the welding cable and the control cable to the power source. Secure by turning the connectors clock- wise. Connect the coolant inlet and outlet hoses to the cooling unit. Note that the connectors are color-coded. © Kemppi 12/28 1920910 / 2002...
  • Page 13 With K3 level torches that have a DIX connector, use a separate gas hose for gas connection. Make sure to connect the coolant hoses to the correct hose connectors. If the connections cross, the torch and torch body may overheat. © Kemppi 13/28 1920910 / 2002...

    The welding current setting defines the electrode size and the shielding gas flow rate. The most typical shielding gas for TIG welding is argon. The following tables provide some basic guidance for the electrode size and shielding gas flow rate selection. © Kemppi 14/28 1920910 / 2002...

    Sharpening principle: Where I = 1…5 x d. The sharpening length best suited for your purposes depends on the most used welding current level: Low currents Mid currents High currents © Kemppi 15/28 1920910 / 2002...
  • Page 16 The welding current is too high for the electrode diameter selected. When using Kemppi AC TIG equipment for specific applications, it is also possible to prepare and maintain a small point on the electrode tip (d). This improves the directional control of the welding arc and weld pool size.
