How to maintain the welding rotator?

Every enterprise or individual engaged in welding work wants to give full play to the performance of the equipment and extend the service life of the machine. To achieve this purpose, in addition to the correct use of welding equipment according to the operating procedures, but also regular maintenance and repair work. Here are some maintenance points for the welding rotator and some other welding equipment.

This passage is going to talk about the followings of welding rotator:

1) How to maintain welding rotators?

Although many people say they have used the welding rotator for many years, they may not know how to maintain it. So here are some tips to share with you for maintaining the welding rotator.

1．When the welding rotator is installed and started, the reducer must be filled with mechanical oil, and the ambient temperature must also be below 0℃. The oil should be completely replaced after the first month of use, and then every six months.

2．The welding rotator should be cleaned before use. The rubber roller is best kept away from oil and heat to avoid aging. If possible, a person should be assigned to operate and maintain the welding rotator.

3．To avoid damage to the bearings, no welding ground should be placed on the raceway.

2) General maintenance measures for welding rotator machines

First of all, it should be noted that the power switch must be turned off when inspecting the internal and external terminals of the welding rotator machine.

Do regular inspections. For example, check whether the cooling fan rotates smoothly when the welding rotator machine is powered on; whether there is abnormal vibration, sound and smell; whether there is gas leakage; whether the joints and insulation of the welding wire are loose or peeled; whether there is abnormal heat in the welded cable and each wiring part, etc.

Since the welding rotator machine is forced air-cooled, it is easy to inhale dust from around and accumulate in the machine. So, we can use the clean and dry compressed air to blow the dust inside the welding rotator machine regularly. Especially the transformer, reactor coil and the gap between the coil and the power semiconductor should be cleaned.

Check the wiring of the power wiring regularly. Into the force side, out of the force side and other terminals, as well as external wiring parts, internal wiring parts and other parts of the wiring screw whether there is loose, rust to remove the rust so that contact conductive good.

Long-term use of the welding rotator machine will inevitably make the shell deformation due to bumper, rust and damage, internal parts will also wear out, so in the annual maintenance and inspection to implement the replacement of defective parts and shell repair and insulation deterioration parts of the comprehensive repair work. The replacement of defective parts is best to replace all new products at once when doing maintenance to ensure the performance of the welder.

3) Conclusion

The regular maintenance and inspection implemented above can reduce the occurrence of welding failures, although it takes some time and effort, but it can make the life of the welding rotator machine longer, and can improve the efficiency of the operation, ensure the performance of the welding rotator machine and improve safety. It is an important part of welding work that cannot be ignored.
