Description
The system features two distinct operating modes: Synergic mode, which automatically adjusts settings for optimal welding, and Manual mode, which allows for personalized configurations. The Programs menu is a convenient tool that enables you to store and recall various welding configurations tailored to your specific needs.
The welding process consists of four essential stages: Priming, Stripping, Arcing, and Clamping.
Priming: In this initial stage, the insert—such as a pull ring, studs, or other components—makes contact with the support sheet. Once you press the trigger, the welding process is set in motion. The generator activates and sends a controlled current to the stud, causing the gun axis to rise slightly. This action generates a low-intensity electric arc, establishing the foundation for effective welding.
Stripping: Often referred to as preheating, this critical phase involves the generator carefully regulating the electrical current to sustain a low-intensity electric arc. The heat generated by this arc fulfills two important functions:
– It effectively burns away impurities from the surface of the support sheet, including grease, oil, and any electrolytic zinc coatings that may be present.
– It preheats the two components being joined, minimizing thermal shock when the welding arc is introduced, which in turn enhances the overall quality of the weld.
It’s noteworthy that during the Stripping phase, neither the insert nor the support sheet undergoes melting. Furthermore, the protective zinc layer on galvanized sheets remains undisturbed, ensuring the integrity of the material.
