TIG manual welding torch
Water-cooled manual welding torches with the Orbitalum connection system can be connected.
The torch should have a torch button for starting the process.
• For cassette weld heads: Ground wire required.
• For LP heads: The optional ground wire can also be used in conjunction with the manual welding torch.
Procedures can be adjusted and saved for manual operation.
Functions in manual operation:
Torch button on manual torch
The torch button functions in four-cycle operation:
• Start process by pressing the button.
• • During the welding process, press the torch button again and hold it down: The machine carries out final slope-
off for the programmed time and as long as the torch button is pressed. When the final current is reached, the
machine ends welding automatically.
• Release torch button while slope-off is active: The process is interrupted (used to set a tack point without having to
wait for the entire slope-off time to pass, for example).
Weld current and pulse times
As programmed in sector 1: The machine remains in sector 1 during the entire manual welding procedure; any pro-
grammed sector times and rotation angles are meaningless.
Gas pre purge, ignition current, slope-off and gas post purge:
As programmed.
Sensors for gas and water monitoring:
Active during manual operation, weld current is monitored.
Speed monitoring:
Deactivated; programmed weld speeds are meaningless.
