The first test welds have been made with the "Kit Positioner".1 1/4" SCH 40 pipe to 3/16" plate, pulse spray, 92/8 Ar/C02, .035 ER70S-2, Linc PM300Test A: WFS 150, Positioner Speed 1.75 RPMTest B: WFS 200, PS 2 RPMI can see that there is gonna be a learning curve with this unit!! I've got to get a notebook!Rex
Reply:Crank it up! You need a LOT more heat. that bead should flatten out.Try 450 ipm or even 550, but you will have to speed up the positioner.Now cut another piece of the same pipe and tig it to the one on the plate........ Less than one rpm. See if you can keep it straight.You can also put the pipe in the chuck and weld something to the other side of the plate.David Last edited by David R; 05-09-2009 at 07:56 AM.Real world weldin.

Reply:mannn rob! thats some really cool stuff. ive only needed a positioner once or twice, not enough work to pay for one...but its sure on the wish list. that looks like one of those tools thats worth having even if you use it once!-NateMiller Trailblazer 302gMiller Spoolmatic 30aLN-25 x 2Idealarc SP200Hypertherm Powermax 600 |
