If you expect your welding equipment to last longer and perform better, preventative maintenance is a must.
10/1/2001 Preventative maintenance is the key to getting the most out of your equipment investment. Like the other gear your metal techs use on a daily basis, your welding and plasma-cutting equipment benefits from a regular maintenance program. To work efficiently, each type of welding unit has specific requirements. Here's a quick checklist: 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.
