Note: The CT-520DPL is sold without accessories such as a USA plug or torch. These must be acquired separately.

5. Provozní režimy

The CT-520DPL offers five distinct functions. Select the desired mode using the buttons on the control panel.

5.1 ŘEZÁNÍ (plazmové řezání)

This mode is for plasma cutting various metals. It supports 2T (two-touch) and 4T (four-touch) trigger modes. Ensure compressed air is connected and regulated.

• Režim 2T: Press and hold the torch trigger to cut; release to stop.
• Režim 4T: Press and release the trigger to start cutting; press and release again to stop. This mode is useful for longer cuts to reduce hand fatigue.
• Applicable Thickness: Up to 18mm for various metals.

5.2 TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) Welding

TIG welding provides high-quality, precise welds. This machine features High-Frequency (HF) ignition. Pure argon gas is required.

• Režim 2T: Press and hold the torch trigger to weld; release to stop.
• Režim 4T: Press and release the trigger to start welding; press and release again to stop.
• Parametry: Adjustable parameters include Per-Flow Time, Start Current, Rise Time, Peak Current, Base Current, Down Time, Crater Current, and Post-Flow Time.
• Applicable Thickness: 0.8 mm až 12 mm.

5.3 PULSE TIG Welding

Pulse TIG welding offers better control over heat input, reducing distortion and improving weld quality, especially on thin materials. It uses a pulsed current between a peak and base current.

• Parametry: In addition to standard TIG parameters, Pulse Frequency and Duty Ratio are adjustable.
• Exampten: Pulse TIG on 0.8mm SS Square Pipe and 3mm Stainless Steel Plate (refer to Figure 5.1).

5.4 Svařování za studena

COLD welding mode is designed for minimal heat input, ideal for thin materials and applications where heat distortion must be avoided. It produces a silver-white fish scale weld bead on stainless steel. Pure argon gas is required.

4. Nastavení testu: Before working on your main project, perform a test weld or cut on a scrap piece of the same material to verify settings and technique.
5. Zahájení provozu: With appropriate PPE, begin welding or cutting. Follow proper technique for the selected process.
6. Monitorování výkonu: Observe the arc, puddle, and cut quality. Adjust parameters as needed during operation.
7. Vypnout: After completing work, turn off the machine using the main power switch. Disconnect gas/air supply.

7. Údržba

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your welder. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.

• Čištění: Periodically clean the exterior of the machine with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use solvents.
• Vnitřní čištění: For internal cleaning, compressed air can be used to blow out dust and debris from the cooling vents. This should be done in a well-ventilated area and with the machine disconnected from power.
• Kontrola kabelů: Regularly inspect all cables (power, ground, torch) for damage, cuts, or frayed insulation. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• Údržba hořáku:
  • TIG hořák: Inspect and replace tungsten electrodes as needed. Ensure collets and collet bodies are clean and free of spatter.
  • Plazmový hořák: Check and replace consumables (electrode, nozzle, swirl ring, shield cup) regularly as they wear out.
  • MMA Electrode Holder: Ensure good contact and clean any spatter.
• Gas/Air System: Check hoses and connections for leaks. Ensure the built-in oil-water separator is functioning correctly and drain any accumulated moisture if applicable.
• Skladování: Svářečku skladujte v suchém a čistém prostředí, mimo dosah nadměrného prachu a vlhkosti.
