Safety Instructions The KÖCO stud welding equipment 805i and the KÖCO stud welding gun CLASSIC is designed for use in drawn- arc stud welding only. It must not be used for any other purpose, with the exception of manual electrode welding, and then only if the appliance is equipped for this purpose.
▪ No metallic jewellery (rings, chains, etc.) or watches may be worn during welding. ▪ During the welding process, persons wearing heart pace-makers must be kept at a safe distance from the appliance and the welding cables, because the strong magnetic fields could endanger their lives. ▪...
1.2.3 Safety When Working ▪ Do not operate the equipment in areas of fire or explosion danger. Remove all inflammable objects from the surroundings! ▪ Keep in mind that welding splashes are likely to ignite inflammable objects, for example cleaning rags soaked with oil, grease or solvent, or packing materials, even at several metres’...
Drawn Arc Stud Welding Drawn-arc stud welding is used for the welding of metallic parts, generally of cylindrical shape, onto metallic workpieces. For this purpose, a DC power source and a mobile device, the welding gun, are required. Depending on the type of welding-pool protection and welding time range used, the appropriate process may be stud welding with a ceramic ferrule, stud welding with with shielding gas, or short-cycle stud welding, either with or without shielding gas.
805i - 10 805i - 8 Welding time (ms) Figure 2: Power ranges 805i-8 and 805i-10 The Power Source The power source consists of a primary chopped inverter with constant current control, a choke connected in series, and an electronic control. The machine is laid out for a mains voltage of 230 V (1-phase). Operation with other voltages is also possible by interposing a transformer.
The Welding Gun In drawn-arc stud welding the welding gun is used to generate the arc between stud and workpiece, and to unite the two welding pools at the end of welding time. There is a choice of two different concepts. The guns K 22 to K 26 have an automatic length adjustment facility, i.e.
Please note: connecting the K 22-D to K 26 guns to a 805i power source is not recommended, since all types of studs that can be processed with a 805i power source can also be welded with SK 14 or K 22 guns.
Setting Guidelines for welding with ceramic ferrule or shielding gas The settings given in figure 2 have been tested for welds on clean metallic surfaces and standard type studs in downhand position. The decisive parameter is the actual diameter at the welding end of the stud, not the nominal diameter.
Setting guidelines for short cycle stud welding without weld pool protection or with shielding gas Short cycle stud welding is used where it is desirable to keep the penetration on thin work pieces as shallow as possible, normally with studs ranging from M 3 to M 12 (PS type flanged studs according to EN ISO 13918). If the outward appearance of welding collars is not important, protection of the welding pool can be omitted.
Working with the stud welding equipment Requirements before starting-up 1. Ensure adequate power supply, according to instructions under section 2.2. 2. The power connection must be earthed according to regulations. 3. The housing of the welding power source must not have any electrical contact with the workpiece. Make sure that the insulating wheels (casters) are in perfect condition! 4.

8. Only when welding with a ceramic ferrule: Place a suitable ceramic ferrule into its grip. Check the center- ing of the footpiece by manually pulling back the piston of the gun and then slowly releasing it again. The stud should then move forward without pushing the ceramic ferrule out of its guide. If the ceramic ferrule is pushed out, loosen the footpiece and improve its centering.
Starting-up of the Power Source 1. Insert the mains plug into the socket and lock it into position using the lock ring (if available). 2. Connect the ground cable to the ground sockets of the welding power source and the workpiece. The con- nection points on the workpiece must be bright metal.
3.4.3 Counter functions Immediately following a weld (also following a „shot in the air”, which is not added to the counter reading), the current counter reading will be shown on the display panel for about 1 second. As long as the pushbutton of the gun is kept pressed, the display will remain visible. This also applies if the ma- chine is not unlocked (closed welding circuit), i.e.

impediment the plunging of the stud may not be stopped, but delayed. In this case a „cold weld“ with an incom- plete connection may result, without any faults showing on the outside. (chart 2 figure 5). Therefore the final as- sessment of a weld should never be made on the basis of visual tests alone, without mechanical tests being carried out as well.
Maintenance of the Welding Power Source Prior to any maintenance operation, the mains plug must be disconnected. In case of a fixed connection the voltage must be cut off, and the cut-off switch secured against unintentional switching on. The housing must not be opened unless the voltage is cut off.
3.10 Calibration Stud welding equipment, which is used in the legally regulated area, e.g. in construction, or for work in which quality requirements according to ISO 3834-2 are agreed, must be calibrated at fixed intervals. In general, the calibration interval is 1 year. More details can be found in DVS code of practice 3009 and in DVS Guideline 0714.
Remedies for Malfunctions Error signals are shown in plain text; with the word “error” in the first line. The error descriptions will then be listed in the following lines. If more than three types of error occur simultaneously, the display screen will be temporarily extended to show a complete list of errors diagnosed.
