Cooling & Mechanical Systems
Lesson ObjectivesWhen you finish this lesson you will understand:• System for cooling critical components• Systems for exerting electrode Force• Typical Applications
Learning Activities1. View Slides; 2. Read Notes, 3. Listen to lecture4. Do on-line
workbook5. Do Homework
KeywordsCooling System, Mechanical System, Fixed Stroke, Adjustable Stroke, Retractable Stroke, Valves, Rocker Arm, Press Type Welder, Servo Gun
Machines and Equipment• Cooling System
• Mechanical System– Force generation system
• Pneumatic/Hydraulic system
• Motor or foot-operated system
– Electrode application system• Rocker arm or pinch type
• Press or direct action type
• Portable system
• Electrical System– Single-phase system
– Single-phase rectified system
– Three-phase rectified system
– Frequency changer system
– Frequency inverter system
Cooling System• Function:
– Prevent overheating of the components of the welding machine
• Components requiring cooling include:– The welding contactor (ignitron tubes or SCRs)– The welding transformer– The welding electrodes– Power cables (portable welding gun only)
