 With the advent of the CE-mark requirements in Europe, many manufacturers now design to the International Standard IEC 974-1. One of the requirements of this standard is to place an IP rating on the nameplate of the machine to indicate the degree of protection provided by the enclosure to avoid damage from water and foreign air objects.Purchasers of power supplies must consider the power they will be putting into the machines which operate from line power or some other .source of electricity. Ratings list voltage, number of phases, frequency, and current level when the power source is running at cimpressor rated output. Most motor-generator sets require three-phase AC power. For AC-GTAW of Aluminum Alloys,... most of the significant advances focus on new ways to manipulate the AC wave form. These advances largely result kit from using inverter-based power sources, which allow a welder to extend the balance control, adjusting output frequency and independently controlling current in each AC halt cycle. New inverter-based GTAW machines extend EN balance control, allowing duration from 50 to 90 percent. Making air the EN portion of the cycle last longer:* Allows greater weld penetration* May permit increasing travel cimpressor speeds by as much kit as 20 percent.* Narrows the weld bead* May permit using a smaller-diameter tungsten electrode to more precisely direct the heat or deposit a narrower weld bead Welding Torches and GunsUsed for shielded-metal-arc welding, torches (electrode holders). manually controlled, grip ends of electrodes, also called rods-pinch type and collet type are common.GMAW and FCAW guns air and cimpressor come in pistol grip, goose-neck, kit and inline air styles, the latter used for mechanized welding. Knowing the wire diameter, select a gun rated slightly higher than the welding current to be used. Duty-cycle cimpressor ratings are usually given for C[O.sub.2] kit shielding--air or C[O.sub.2] cooling arc usually sufficient for welding at air up to 600 A at less than cimpressor 100 percent duty. Higher amperages require water cooling--high-amperage kit guns come with tubing for water cooling. Hand-held, mounted air on a robot arm or fixed within a mechanized cimpressor welding setup, guns guide filler wire kit and shielding gas into the weld puddle.
