Welding Equipment Essentials

If you expect your welding equipment to last longer and perform better, preventative maintenance is a must.

10/1/2001

Plasma Cutters

Plasma cutters need an unrestricted flow of clean, dry air to the torch, so be sure to change the regulator/moisture trap filter on a regular basis.

Inspect the torch cable periodically to make sure all connections are tight and that the cable the air flows through hasn't been crushed or damaged.

Change the consumables in the torch when they're damaged or worn out.
TIG Welders

If you have a water-cooled TIG torch, be sure you're using the correct torch coolant. It's also important to change the coolant based on the manufacturer's recommended schedule.

Check for coolant leaks. Leaks at the torch require immediate attention to reduce the potential for electric shock.

If your TIG welder has a high-frequency start, watch for erratic performance from the high-frequency feature. When was the last time you checked the gap on the high-frequency points? Check the operator's manual for your specific welder, but remember that this service is best performed by a qualified repairer.
