What is the purpose? 1. OBJECTIVE Establish and define the criteria for performing calibration of welding machines
Let's talk a little about the background: 2. EXPLANATIONS / DEFINITIONS CALIBRATION Metrological comparison between a measurement device or an instrument with their respective benchmarks, certificates and their accuracy, in order to detect, report or eliminate by adjustment any inaccuracy of the instrument. DIVERSION It is the difference in magnitude between the current rating of the welding machine and the actual value measured in amperage volt ammeter clamp, taking as basis the corresponding nominal value. SWING It is the difference between the actual maximum and minimum observed in the volt ammeter clamp, taking as basis the average real value of corresponding current.
3.1 The section of the Quality / welding inspector is responsible for: a) Calibrate equipment; b) issue the certificates; c) affix labels indicating the calibration;
Calibration Technique
6 welding machines to manual processes a) Connect the cable clamp electrode to the positive terminal of the welding machine to be tested; b) Connect the ground lead plate test and the negative terminal of the welding machine; c) Connect the welding machine;
d) Set the lever in the desired position amp; e) Engage with the volt-ammeter clamp the cable clamp electrode; f) Carry out the reading of the clamp volt-ampere ammeter, comparing it with the values shown on the recorder panel welding machine.
Note: Evidence records calibration results of deviations in form. Calibrations should happen in bands of 80, 140, 180 and 240 amperes. If any machine does not allow setting these values, run the scan in the range as close as possible.
