SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING WITH CUSI AND CUAL WIRE (BRAZING MODE)
The NEOPULSE can weld with CuSi and CuAl wire of 0.8/1.
The same as with steel, the capillary tube must be connected and a torch with a steel liner must be used.
In brazing mode the operator must use pure argon (Ar).
REEL AND TORCH ASSEMBLY
• Remove the nozzle (fig F) and the contact tube (fig E). Open the door of the NEOPULSE.
Fig A:
• Position the wire reel on the support:
- Pay attention to the driving pin when positioning the reel. To set up a wire reel of 200mm, tighten the wire reel to
maximum.
• Adjust the brake (2) to avoid reel movement tangling the wire when welding stops. Be careful not to tighten too much.
Fig B:
• The drive rollers included have 2 grooves (0.8 and 1.0). The visible diameter indicated on the roller when fitted in
place is the diameter currently in use (ie. 0.8mm is visible for use with 0.8mm wire). To weld aluminium or gasless wire,
use the appropriate drive rollers.
Fig C:
To select the adjustment of the drive rollers
• Loosen the drive roller knob (4) as far as possible and insert the wire, tighten the knob again slightly
• Start the motor by pressing the trigger of the torch
• Tighten the knob whilst pressing the trigger until the wire starts to move.
Nb: When welding with Aluminium, use the minimum possible pressure to avoid crushing the wire
• Let about 5cm of wire out of the torch, then put the contact tube (fig. E), and the nozzle (fig. F) adapted to the wire
to be used at the extremity
Remarks:
• A narrow liner may result in issues causing the wire feeder to overheat.
• The torch connection must be tightened propertly to avoid overheating.
• Check the wire and the reel are not in contact with the body of the welding equipment to avoid any short circuit.
GAS COUPLING
The NEOPULSE is equipped with a quick connector. Use the adapter supplied with the machine. This machine can be
fitted with a Ø 200mm or 300 mm reel.
CONTROL BOARD
- A: The navigation in the top menu must be done with the left button. The selection/ validation by push the same button.
- B: The navigation in the bottom menu must be done with the right button. The selection/ validation by push the same button.
- The unlock code is: 0000
- To update the welding parameters, insert the SD card and stop then start the machine.
- A full reset of the machine can be done in option menu, the process requires 1 minute and the SD card.
1 - Welding settings selection
SYNERGIC or MANUAL
2 - Welding process selection
PULSE or STANDARD
3 - Selection of the metal (synergic welding settings)
Each material is associated with a different recommendation for gas and
diameter of wire.
The different materials available are:
- Fe - Steel with Ar+CO2 gas (18%) or CO2 gas (only standard)
- AlMg5 - Aluminium with Ar gas
- SS – Stainless steel with Ar+CO² (2%)
- CuSi – Cu Si 3 with Ar gas
- CuAl – Cu Al 8 with Ar gas
- AlSi 5 and AlSi 12 with Ar gas
For optimal use, it is recommended to use the wire and gas recommended for the selected material.
These synergies modes can be updated by using the SD card (see SD section)
