●Installation of fixing assembly: insert the two silicone inside the pass tube into the seat‘s rear
part (no direction); tie it with small plastic cable (to prevent water seepage under high pressure);
insert positioning seat into the pass tube; slightly rotate positioning seat to make the three
mounting holes align with each other (to prevent the two silicone tube‘s over winding within
the main core rod); tighten the 3-M3 ×6 screw. Note to check whether the ―O‖ seal ring is
damaged or lost.
●Positioning core head / core rod: The two should be used with the welded part. The core rod
with cooling water can take away their heat accumulation. Placing the sealing wire of welding
parts in the middle of the part can effectively prevent the adhesions inside the welded tube due
to retraction and welding(default value of random accessories = nominal diameter of welding
tube subtract 0.3~0.4), If the customer finds bad adaptability with the actual diameter, you can
be trimmed it with this formula . Please replace it timely when there is positioning core damage,
such as surface damage.

should be 6-10mm (as shown), see the technological parameter table behind for the values‘ choice.
▲Tungsten electrode‘s grinding
requirements
1: the diameter D of discharge tipped
platform is 0.2~0.8mm according to
different welding current (see process
table), equally, see process table for the
taper A.
2:Grinding marks on the cone is
required to array in radial order as shown.
3:G85E allows the tungsten electrode‘s
maximum cut-off length of 85mm, so the
purchased tungsten electrode of standard
length of 150mm can cut off 2 (75mm
each), maximumly reduce the loss of
tungsten electrode cut-off.
●Adjustment of welding torch head‘s
obliquity
Loosen two M4 ×16 screws, we can make welding torch head‘s axis and the axis of welded
tube of 1~30 degrees angle. In principle, it can achieve making welding torch head‘s axis and
the axis of welded tube parallel and achieve vertical welding of weld plate. The angle of 1~30
degrees is defined as angle adjustment range here. Refer to the table of processing technical for
the angle value of specific welding process values.
●Position adjustment of the wire nozzle
▲Releasing the flat head setting screw M5 ×8 can make the whole wire feeding joints rotate
around the ceramic nozzle axis through the insulation clip, to adjust the deflection angle of wire
into the weld crater. That is generally only used in the first coarse adjustment. The product is
adjusted well when out of the factory.
▲Releasing M4 × 10 inner hexagon fillister head screw can adjust the shaft to do
fore-and-aft displacement adjustment. The adjustment shaft has been done non-skid treatment.
So you need not tighten the screws with too much preload to avoid the clip‘s crack.
▲Loosen the inner hexagon fillister head screw M4 ×8 of adjustment shaft, you can adjust
the angle between output wire rod and the ceramic nozzle axis (that is the angle between
tungsten electrode‗s axis and the wire axis, Refer to the table of processing technical for the
angle value)
▲Release the M4 ×8 inner hexagon fillister head screw of the lower part of the figure; you
can adjust the distance between the wire nozzle and the weld crater.

●The assembly uses the combination of two sets of modularized single-axis numerical control
linear movement
mechanisms. Each
set of mechanism
adopts dual row
precise linear
guideway for
movement guiding, is
driven by precise
stepper motor, which
greatly improves the
stability and rigidity
of movement. The
dual guideway with the stainless steel guard can greatly improve the service life of the
assembly.
.
●The assembly can work in 2 different modes through the numerical control setting:
▲During the adjustment phase of the welding torch head before welding, the assembly
can trim tungsten electrode‘s position relative to welded part through the corresponding knob of
full-function controller assembly. (on the promise that the angle of welding torch head and the
stretching length of tungsten electrode have been adjusted well.)
Compared to the previous models‘ adjustment of the mode of the welding radius, G85E
has been greatly improved in adjustment. The old caliber and the current caliber in the market
achieves the adjustment of welding radius by mechanical bolt or screw and the abuses are that
the slip block gap gradually increases and results in short service life. Although some caliber
has set locking screw after adjustment, it is bad to the simplified operation. The welder can
achieve coarse adjustment of the welding torch head‘s position of 10mm on the welding torch
head‘s connecting plate through two M4 × 16 inner hexagon fillister head screw. With the
Y-axis‘ 30mm large displacement adjustment, it can of the radius can achieve a wide range of
welding radius adjustment.
The relative position of the tungsten electrode tipped end and the welded parts can be
manually intervened during the welding process. In the state that you don‘t open the arc
tracking (the welded parts is of poor working conditions, the size is discrete, and the shape is
irregular etc.), facilitate to adjust and response quickly.
▲The welder adopts a vector arc length tracking technology. By detecting the arc voltage
between tungsten electrode and weldment, the CPU controls the X, Y-axis displacement
respectively. Through the pre-set displacement ratio, the axis of tungsten electrode and the axis
of welded tube can form an angle and automatically adjust the discharge distance to prevent the
"crawl tube" phenomenon caused by the pure X direction arc tracking model.

●Integrated wire plate‘s installation
Pull the lock wrench straightly like the left
figure, after wire plate to be installed is inserted
into the wire plate shaft; you can pull the lock
wrench levelly, as shown on the right figure.
The disassembly is just the inverse operation.
●Wire feeder‘s operation and adjustment
▲Instruction of main parts‘ function:
Adjust handle (compress or release the wire
pressing racks, adjust the pressing by its scale)
Dual-rail guide wire wheel (it has 0.8 and 1.0 of
the guide wire slot. For wire of different diameter,
as long as twist off a screw of the top, manually
pull it out, and install reversely)
▲wire‘s loading: handle up the hand knob
90 degrees (as shown in top figure), pressure wire
wheel will swing to the right at a certain angle
round the swing axis (as shown in bottom figure),
thread the wire loaded into the wire plate box into
the wire nozzle, then send the wire from the wire
nozzle into the back wire feeding tube (the
loading direction as shown in the bottom figure),
and then adjust the hand knob back to horizontal
position, appropriately adjust the pressure. Press the corresponding button of the full-function
controller assembly, the wire will be automatically sent out of the final wire nozzle by stepper
motor. If the wire can not be properly sent out of the wire nozzle, this is because of a big
knuckle within a short distance. If no failure, Unscrew the wire nozzle of the front wire rod,
then after the wire is sent out, screw the wire nozzle.

Screw the wire feeding hose into the wire feeding output tube, and the other end of hose is
connected to wire feeder;
Install the wire feeding wheel appropriate to wire diameter, and adjust the tight hand knob;
Thread the welding wire into the fast-assembly lead hole, start and press the feeding button on
the remote controller until the wire is sent to wire nozzle. (If directly thread the wire, pay
attention to rounding the wire end to avoid damage to the wire feeding tube‘s inside wall)
Install arcing ring;
Adjust the arc length;
Switch the welding torch to the starting position;
Cut the stretching wire to 5mm to feeding nozzle.
3.3 Starting Up
Turn on the power, operate the controller, check whether the rotation, wire feeding, arc
length control is normal or not. (Refer to power instructions for the remote controller‘s
operation)
Check whether the coolant flow is normal.
3.4 Setting Welding Parameter
Please refer to the power instructions for setting welding parameters.
3.5 Starting Welding
Before the first welding starting, welding simulation must be done to observe that whether
the torch is in good condition and protective gas is normal. If everything goes well, ignite and
start arc.
4 Maintenance
Under normal using circumstance, the welder can be used at will and only needs
minimum maintenance. However, to ensure correctness during the welding process, some

issues must be paid attention to, which includes regular cleaning and inspection. Of course,
as described below, it depends on the amount of pollutants in the surrounding environment
and the welder‘s using hours.
The cleaning, inspection and maintenance of the welder must all be carried out by
professionals. If you do not follow the requirements of operation and result in failures,
please don‘t operate the welder again until the error is corrected.
4.1 Cleaning
Before cleaning, make sure that he welding power is away from the electric
fence. Pull out the power plug!
(Cut or remove the fuse does not guarantee absolute insulation) pull out all the
connecting plugs of the welder head to power.
Welder head should be operated as follows:
If there is much dust, clean with dry compressed air.
The outer surface of welder head should be wiped with a piece of dry cloth.
The attached dirt of electrodes, welding torch head and other parts can be cleaned
after sand papering.
4.2 Maintenance
Cooling system
Regularly check the cooling system of the head to ensure that there is no leakage under
the pressure of 0.5mpa and check it every month to ensure that the normal flow is no less than
450ml/min. The proposed replacement of the coolant is once every quarter and distilled water
or deionized pure water if available can be used to replace the ordinary coolant. In cold district
the coolant should be added a certain amount of alcohol (concentration 75%) in winter.
Rotary system
Rotation system should be kept in smooth operation state, no abnormal sound
in rotating. Regularly clean dirt produced by wear between the two bearings and
gear inside the head, and adds an appropriate amount of molybdenum disulphide
grease yearly.
Arc length control device

Under normal circumstances, arc tracking control is sensitive. When manually
operate the device, you should feel relaxed and easy, but there should be no beating
gap. To ensure the above state, maintenance must be conducted every quarter, clean
arc length control screw rod and slider rod and add molybdenum disulphide grease.
Welding torch and cable assembly
Keep the tungsten electrode, ceramic nozzles and current divider clean, and
ensure welding torch head‘s good airtight and watertight. Woven wire inside the
water and electricity pipe should be no breakage and contact well. Tungsten
electrode holds tightly and conducts well.
Wire feeding system
Wire feeder‘s wire wheel, roller should be kept clean. The entire wire feeding system must
be cleaned when install wire every time. And clean and maintain the wire feeder weekly. When
wire feeding nozzle is obviously worn, it must be replaced. Wire feeding tube must be kept
smooth. The gears and bearings inside the wire feeder must be cleaned every year, and add an
appropriate amount of molybdenum disulphide grease to ensure the whole feeding system‘s
smooth.
4.3. Repair
Maintenance must be carried out by professionals.
All system failures are generally resolved by the equipment supplier.
The only way of the return of equipment with failure on deliver is through the dealer.
When replace parts, please use the original accessories.
When order accessories, you must clearly write the welding machine‘s model, serial number and required
quantities. You‘d better describe the accessories‘ body clearly.
If the equipment‘s repair and maintenance is carried out by non-professionals, require them to act in
accordance with the above considerations.
