Error

Cause

 

Error elimination

 

 

No electric arc is generated,

Stud without ignition tip or centre mark too deep for the ignition tip

even though system is

Use stud with ignition tip or reduce centre mark

ready for operation

 

 

Fault in Stud Welder control and/or at the Stud Welding Pistol

 

 

Inform SOYER Customer Service

 

 

 

Stud too loose in stud holder

 

Press stud holder together and/or tighten it

 

 

Stud thread scorched

Stud holder worn down

 

Replace stud holder

 

 

Varying welding results

Incorrect welding energy setting

 

Set welding energy

 

 

 

Cable connections are too loose, transition resistances are generated

 

Check all cable connections and cable clamps to ensure tight fit

 

 

 

Stud is too loose and/or has not been inserted into the stud holder until the

 

stop is reached

 

Press stud into the holder until it stops, if necessary, replace stud holder

 

 

 

Magnetic blow effect. The electric arc is pressed into a certain direction

 

Alter ground clamp attachment, place iron parts to the edges and/or rotate

 

 

welding pistol

 

 

Intensive sparking,

Welding energy setting too high

stud flange almost

Reset welding energy using the energy range selector

fully melted away

Stud not welded with complete flange surface, deficient weld joint strength

Welding energy setting too low

Reset welding energy using the energy range selector

Poor ground connection

Ensure tight fit of ground cable and ground clamps, if necessary tighten

Workpiece surface too soiled

Clean workpiece surface

Stud weld base deformed

Use new welding studs

Incorrect setting of stud projection to the stud holder

Set stud projection to 2-3 mm (distance between stud holder and stud weld base)

Incorrect spring pressure setting

Set spring pressure

Tilted positioning of welding pistol

Ensure that all 3 feet of welding pistol are evenly and simultaneously positioned on the workpiece
