Inverter Welding Machine Buying Guide
If you are looking to buy an inverter welding machine, there are some points that you should pay attention to before making a purchase. Whether for domestic use or for industrial use, the welding machine must be prepared based on the abilities and according to the needs of the consumer. Welding is actually the act of joining two similar metals by melting both of them or melting another metal as Filler and adhesive are two pieces of work. In electric arc welding, in fact, the electric arc created between the electrode and the metal of the work piece causes the electrode to melt (the electrode is actually the interface between the two pieces). The way the welding machine works is actually receiving alternating current (AC) with high voltage and low current intensity, and then converting it to direct current (DC) with low voltage and instead high current intensity. Different devices have the ability to produce different current intensities. They have that the more the user needs stronger welding and the use of the device goes towards industrial and workshop, the higher the ability to produce wing current in the device. The welding intensity we need is directly related to the thickness of the workpiece.
Important Tips on Selecting Inverter Welding Machine
With the passage of time and the need to have accurate and reliable welding, welding machines are always progressing and modernizing, which has caused the variety of models and power of the machine, which must be checked before buying. The following tips will help you choose the right inverter welding machine:
intensity intensity of the inverter welding machine
Electric arc devices have different abilities in producing current intensity and the main distinguishing feature and noteworthy point is the intensity of current produced by the device. The intensity of the required current has a direct relationship with the intensity of welding and the thickness of the workpiece.
Inverter Welding Function Cycle
In simple words, the operation cycle is the time that the machine can weld continuously and after that it needs time to cool down. This parameter in welding machines is declared in terms of percentage, so that if the duty cycle of the machine is 100%, it means that this machine does not need any break for cooling and has the ability to weld continuously. Basically, the performance cycle is measured in a period of ten minutes. For example, if the operating cycle of the device is 50%, it means that in a ten-minute working period, the device needs five minutes to cool down. The amount of cooling required by the device increases with the increase in the intensity of the production flow. As the use of the device goes towards industrial and workshop, a higher performance cycle is required.
Inverter welding accessories
Inverter welding machine is usually supplied with electrode gripper and connecting cable. Electrode gripper has the ability to hold electrodes with different numbers, and its cable is responsible for transferring current to the pliers and finally to the electrode. Therefore, in order to improve the welding quality, it is necessary to fully transfer the intensity of the produced current of the device, which is the responsibility of the connecting cable and is directly related to its quality.
Safety Tips Using Inverter Welding Machine
- جوشکاری قوس الکتریک در حقیقت یک مدار برقی با شدت جریان بالا است که در صورت لمس این مدار و قرار گرفتن در میان آن باعث شوک الکتریکی شدید و حتی مرگ میشود. بنابراین توصیه میگردد ضمن توجه به این نکته در هنگام جوشکاری حتما از دستکش مناسب استفاده نمایید.
- اشعه حاصل از ذوب شدن الکترود میتواند باعث آسیب به چشم و حتی سوختگی پوست شود؛ حتما از ماسک و لباس مناسب استفاده گردد.
- در هنگام ذوب الکترود به دلیل سوختن لایه محافظ، میزان قابل توجهی دود و گاز ایجاد میشود که میتواند در محیط های بسته باعث مشکلات تنفسی گردد.
- از این نوع جوش در محیط هایی که احتمال آتش سوزی وجود دارد و همچنین به دلیل پرتاب شدن جرقه حین جوشکاری؛ در مجاورت اشیا قابل اشتعال، استفاده نکنید.
