In this video we introduce you to our aluminum professional TIG welding machine V1841.
Before we look at what's included with the welder and assembling the welder.
we will first discuss the performance of the device.
The 1841 welder can weld all metals, thanks to the 180A output and the AC / DC function.
170 amps are available in Arc / Stick / Electrode mode. With adjustable hot start and arc force.
You can save up to 9 different welder job / configuration settings in 9 storage locations.
These stored settings can be called up again at any time.
The contents of delivery includes: a TIG welding torch WP-26, 4m long, with a rotary potentiometer to set the welding current.
13mm mandrel, inert gas quick coupling and a 5-pole control line,
a earthing / grounding terminal 3 meter length, with 13mm mandrel,
an inert gas hose with two screw clamps ,
an extensive accessory package, each consisting of a gas nozzle of size 4- 7,
a short and long torch cap
and two clamping sleeves each with a housing in sizes 1.6 and 2.4 mm
as well as device-specific operating instructions in German and English.
To assemble the welder, first mount the protective hose. To do this, heat the end slightly beforehand so that the material becomes softer.
A compressed air quick coupling is required , this fitting is NOT included in the scope of delivery.
Connect the other side of the shielding gas hose to your pressure reducer.
Before using it for the first time, we recommend that you check the hose for leaks.
On the control wire cable connector, pay attention to the position of the guide lug on the plug and tighten it hand-tight.
Then push in the shielding gas quick release connector until it audibly clicks into place.
The 13mm mandrel goes into the negative welding current connection.
The ground clamps plug into the positive power connection.
Now let's take a look at the control panel.
In the upper left corner there is the power indicator and the overheating indicator.
The set welding current is shown on the display.
Use the plus and minus buttons to adjust the device and the selection button to access the menu for further fine-tuning.
At the top right you switch from two-stroke to four-stroke mode.
Below you can select your welding process: MMA or TIG.
At the bottom right you can switch the pulse function on or off.
Above is the job memory, which we will go into in more detail later.
With TIG welding you can set the following parameters:
The set maximum welding current is shown on the display.
The adjustment range is from 10-180A.
The adjustment knob on the TIG torch can now be used to make further settings:
The pulse duration from 10-90%
The pulse frequency from 1-200 Hz
The current reduction time (ramp down) from 0.1-9 seconds
The final current from 10 -180A
The gas follow-up (post flow) time of 0.1-10 seconds
in AC mode. the balance between 10-30%
the AC frequency of 50-200 Hz
the gas lead (pre flow) time of 0.1-5 seconds
the starting current of 10-180A and the current rise of 0.1-9 seconds.
For electrode (ARC / MMA / STICK) welding, the TIG welding torch is exchanged for the electrode holder.
Switch from TIG mode to MMA mode.
The welding current can be adjusted from 10-170A using the setting button.
By pressing the setting button you get to the submenu to make further settings.
Hotstart strength in amps: from 1-10, always in steps of 10. That means: 1 is equal to 10 amps, 5 is equal to 50 amps.
These are always added to the welding current that has already been set.
Hotstart time in seconds. From 1-10 seconds. Sets the duration of the hot start in order to ignite the electrode optimally. Then work continues with the set welding current.
Arc Force: Adjustment range from 1-100 amps. To prevent the electrode from sticking, the amps specified here are added to the welding current.
When you have made your settings, you can now save the job by pressing the Save-button.
Select one of nine storage locations and press the Save-button. The job is now saved. You can find more tips on welding here on our channel.
