Demagnetizing workpiece
Demagnetization is a process of neutralizing residual magnetism in metal components to ensure stable arc behavior.
The ACDC power sources equipped with the MTP35X control panel can be used to demagnetize the workpiece before welding. The demagnetization cable is available as an optional accessory (refer to Kemppi.com).
|
The demagnetization process may involve strong, fluctuating electrical fields and electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. |
|
Do not touch the workpiece, demagnetization cables, or connections while demagnetization is active, and maintain as much distance as practical from the coil. |
|
Ensure all personal metal items (rings, watches, keys) are removed. |
|
Keep all unnecessary personnel at a safe distance. |
|
Confirm that personnel with pacemakers or implanted medical devices are clear from the area. |
|
Remove any electronic and magnetic storage devices (credit cards, mobile phones, external drives) from the vicinity. |
|
1.
|
In the control panel, go to Settings / Special functions / Demagnetization. Follow the on-screen instructions. |
|
2.
|
Wrap the demagnetization cable around the workpiece (as shown on the screen). |
|
3.
|
Connect the demagnetization cable to the DIX plus (+) and minus (-) connectors of the power source (refer to Equipment description). |
>> If the workpiece is large, you can connect demagnetization cables together using a separate adapter.
|
5.
|
When the demagnetization has been completed, select Close. |
