We shouldlike to highlight the following features, which makethe Automig T welding machine a consider9ble improvement over any previous machines. Good strike: Before striking an arc, the thyristors are set in such a way that the initial voltage is higher than normal - as a result of which the arc strikes more easily when the wire touches the workpiece.
Page 5
Minimum spatter: The Automig T's power source and regulating system are designed to produce a minimum of welding spatter. That cuts out any unnecessary grinding work and means the welding torch needs less frequent cleaning. Power Take-Off (PTO) for electrical...

spatter. When the switch on the torch is depressed, the thyristors come on. The rectifier emits a DC voltage - which is determined by the remote control in the welding trigger and the gas/wire matching switch (pos. 5) on the box. Simultaneously, shielding gas is turned on and the wire-feed motor started up at a speed also determined by remote regulation from the torch.

INITIAL OPERATION Mains connection: Check that the machine voltage on the type-plate conforms with the mains voltage on the site. If the machine is dual voltage or more, be sure to check that the machine is correctly set. The mono machine is designed for connection to single-phase 220-240 V (Ph. + Zero + Earth)/ 25 amps.

chains. Fit the reducing valve onto the cylinder. If the valve is equipped with a flowmeter, set the gas volume to 5 - 15 litres per minute. The gas is autornatically connected to the hose when this is mounted in the wire-feed device.

OPERATING INSTRUCTION BOXES Pos. Overload indicator The red lamp lights if the automatic thermal fuse on the machine has been cut out due to overloading. The thermostatically-controlled fan continues to run until thc machine has cooled down to normal operating temperature again, at which point the red lamp goes off and the machine is once again ready for use.

Seam: The machine welds when the torch switch is actuated and stops when the switch is released. Spot: When the torch switch is actuated the machine welds automatically, controlled by the "welding-time timer" (pos. 6). The time is adjustable from 0.2 to 2.5 secs, and when the set time runs out, welding stops.

This switch is usedwhena new reel of welding wire is put into the machine and the wire fed through the hose. The Automig T is equipped with crawl start, i.e. the wire is fed at a gentle speed when there is no arc - use the...

WELDING TECHNIQUE Adjusting the machine Adjusting a MIG/MAG welding machine requires a fair amount of experience on part of the welder, as in principle there are two parameter settings which must match each other, that is: wire speed and welding voltage. It is important, therefore that...

MAINTENANCE The following points demand special attention: Wire-feed unit. This unit must be checked regularly at the wire feed roller (pos. 29) and wire nozzles (pos. 24 and pos. 22), since it is of great importance for good welding and minimum wear that the wire...

TROUBLE SHOOTING If the machine fails to weld correctly, there are, in principle, two possible sources of error, namely wire feeding and power source. In the vast majority of cases, the error is to be found in irregular wire feeding. Try, where possible, pushing and pulling the welding wire out at the contact nozzle.
