A Welding machine is a tool used to remove, assemble or join metal parts by heating or melting them with thermal energy. Welding machines are used in three main industries: 

1. Construction industry

2. Infrastructure Industry

3. Automobile Industry

 

It produces heat to dissolve and fuse the metal to form workpieces of different sizes, shapes and functions. Welding machine malfunctions are always disruptive and affect the welding performance. It drastically affects the job performance and efficiency. 

 

Welding machines need regular maintenance and repair checks to function smoothly. Regular Welding machine maintenancepays off and reduces excess costs.

Learn how to easily maintain your welding machines and improve efficiency which ensures longer service life and high ROI (Return on Investment).

 

 Let welders be in charge of welding machines

 

Welders are professional individuals of how to properly use welding machines and how to perform welding jobs. They are fully aware of the welding equipment, welding electrodes, welding consumables and other equipment needed to perform the welding job. You can entrust welders with maintenance responsibility. Welders can replace the liners, contact tips and other parts of the welding machines that require change.

 

Welding Consumables Manufacturers in Indiahire trained welders who are fully aware of each part of a welding machine and maintain the machines efficiently.

2.  Clean the liners 

 

Dirt piles up on the steel nick in the liner during welding. Collections of dirt and debris on the liner unstable the arc and affect the feeding wire. Clean the welding machine's liners daily. 

 

 If the liners are not cleaned, this results in damage to the liners and adversely affects the welding process. Replacing liners is expensive so make sure that you regularly clean the liners to avoid excess costs.

 

3.  Replace the contact tips

 

Contact tips are inexpensive and easily replaceable. It is advisable to replace contact tips once a year or once in 6 months to improve the welding machine's productivity. Welding Consumable Manufacturersreplace contact tips quite often because it is fast and less expensive.

 

4.  Improve ROI

 

Long welding workpieces require high amperages, which result in overheating the welding machines. Overheating wears off the welding machine too easily. Welders have to be very careful when using welding machines for long welding workpieces. Water-cooling welding machines are ideal for creating long welding workpieces at high amperages. 

 

Welding Consumables Manufacturers in Indiasuggest that correct cooling helps maintain the liners, contact tips, hose and torch of the welding machine. This prolongs the life of the welding machine, ensures machine productivity and efficiency and increases the ROI.

 

5.  Update machine software

 

Modern welding machines have software mechanisms built into them. Update the machine's software regularly to safeguard the welding machine and yield high ROI. Although old versions of welding machines do not have software mechanisms thus welders need to check the welding machines manually.

Conclusion:

Welding machine maintenancerequires regular and manual checkups and follow-ups. Replacing and repairing damaged or worn parts of welding machines increases the service life of welding equipment, improves welding quality, lowers cost, and minimizes the risk of machine breakdowns.
