Welding equipment fault inspection and maintenance skills


Welding equipment fault inspection and maintenance skills

Welding equipment is an indispensable tool in modern manufacturing, playing a key role in building a variety of structures and products. However, welding equipment will inevitably malfunction during long-term use, thus affecting production efficiency and welding quality. This article will introduce in detail the inspection methods and maintenance experience of welding equipment faults to help relevant practitioners improve their fault handling capabilities and ensure production safety and smooth progress.

1. Visual inspection:

First, you can judge the basic status of the welding equipment through visual inspection:
Check the appearance of the device for obvious damage, such as cracks, deformation, etc.

Check whether the welding gun, gas pipe, cable and other connecting parts are intact.

Observe whether the power indicator light is working properly.

2. Functional testing:
You can find out if your device is functioning properly by performing some basic functional tests:
Start the welding equipment and check whether it can start normally.
Adjust the welding current and voltage and check whether the equipment can cope with the changes.
Conduct a short-time welding test to observe the welding effect and welding sound.

3. Electrical test:
For checking electrical faults, you can use a multimeter to conduct detailed tests:
Measure the input voltage to make sure the power supply is normal.
Measure the welding current and confirm that the output current meets the set value.
Check whether electrical components such as fuses and contactors are intact.
