Carbon Dioxide Arc Welder (MIG Arc Weld)

 2-19  

This welding process uses inexpensive carbon dioxide instead of expensive inert gases as a shielding means. Consumable metal electrodes are employed. It has a wide range of applications, including butt welding of a thin plate, fillet welding, plug welding and MIG spot welding. In terms of the weld strength, it is also highly stable.

Welders:
  1. Single-phase 110V

    Three-phase 200-240V

  2. Gas hose
  3. Input cable
  4. Gas regulator
  5. Carbon dioxide or Argon + Carbon dioxide
  6. Welding power supply

    (built-in wire feed mechanism)

  7. Welding torch
  8. Workpiece
  9. Work cable
  10. Ground wire

CAUTION

Disconnect the negative battery cable before arc welding.
