Chapter 1. Introduction to Orbital Welding with

the Model 307 Power Supply

rc Machines’

based Model 307 Power Supply is designed for autogenous orbital GTA welding. In addition to the standard tube-welding functions it also has wire feed capabilities. The Model 307 was developed for economy and ease of use and will automatically generate a weld schedule or program when the Arc Machines weld head and weld component dimensions are entered. To meet the Industry’s demands for quality assurance (QA) and weld data collection, the Model 307 has extensive capabilities to store and transmit detailed weld documentation and historical data.

new Windows™-

Arc Machines’ Model 307 Power Supply and Model 8-2000 weld head on a cleanroom bench at the WELDEX show in the UK.

Welding personnel can program the Model 307 in time per level or simply enter the desired weld head position in rotational degrees for the end of each level, and time required to complete the level will be entered automatically. Weld parameters are clearly visible on the 307’s touch screen and can easily be modified by the operator if changes should be necessary.

Input Power. The Model 307 Power Supply operates on 110 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, single phase only, without reconnection.

Weld Current. The Model 307 has a programma amperes of primary welding current, while av ited to 150 amps or less. The Model 307 will warn users if programmed current v

Weld Heads. The Model 307 operates all standard AMI fusion weld heads includin It can also operate the Model 95 series of wire-feed weld heads. The motor controls can accept DC tachometer velocity feedback, or quadrature-encoder position and velocity information.

Real-time digital data acquisition. The Model 307 captures and displays real-time streaming data for welding current, pulsation, arc voltage and travel speed during the weld and displays the data in graphical form on the Model 307 screen at the end of the weld. The power supply can compare the actual data gathered during the weld and report whether the weld parameters were performed within pre-set acceptance limits.

Weld Logging. The Model 307’s Intel® Pentium® processor makes this power supply uniquely suited for weld logging and weld documentation. Weld records are created by the Model 307 when a weld identification (ID) number is assigned to the weld. Users can select from a variety of fields of Associated Data which include weld head and power supply serial numbers; material type and heat numbers of tubing, fittings or other weld components; gas type, flow rates to weld head and weld I.D., dewar serial number; and electrode type and geometry.

Project management. Rapid retrieval of weld records is import

ant for users who may be subject to audits from the FDA or other regulatory agency. Weld records stored in the Model 307 memory can be retrieved by project, wel

d identification number, date, welding operator, or other field.

Weld records can be downloaded onto electronic media or to a computer for compilation of records for a particular job thus avoiding the necessity of re-entering this data manually. Weld I.D. numbers as well as other identifying data may also be printed onto an adhesive-backed plastic label that can be used for weld identification purposes.

It should be understood that no welding machine can unequivocally detect and indicate the quality of a particular weld. The Model 307 can, however, provide a detailed

record of each weld, so that if quality questions arise, the process of tracing the root cause of a problem is greatly simplified.

Statement of purpose: This manual is intended for use in an Arc Machines, Inc. Model 307 Tube Welder Training class taught by a factoryapproved Arc Machines, Inc. Instructor. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THAT TRAINING. The purpose of such a class is to enable welding personnel to quickly and easily understand the basic functions and safe operation of the Model 307 Power Supply and appropriate weld head(s) and to use this equipment successfully in their application.

Students must be able to correctly set up the power supply and be able to calibrate and install the weld head with correct tube-clamp inserts and the correct tungsten type, diameter an

d length. They must understand the basics of purging and know how to set the correct flow rates for the weld head they are using.

Hands-On. Students are given sufficient hands-on tr

aining to enable them to generate weld programs, to make welds, and to evaluate the welds. Trainees should also be familiar with the end-preparation requirements for orbital welding. They are expected to recognize an acceptable weld for their industry or application and be able to make adjustments in the weld program or procedures in order to produce welds that comply with the standards of their industry.

Upon successful completion of this course, which is typically comprised of two 8-hour days and, at the discretion of the instructor, students will be awarded an Arc Machines, Inc. Certificate of Completion.

Chapter 2. Safe Operating Procedure -

afety Precautions for Model 307 Operation

AVOID ALL CONTACT WITH THE WELDING WORK (GROUND) OR ELECTRODE DURING ARC START

Electrode installation in a Model 8 weld head.

THE ELECTRODE SHOULD ALWAYS BE CONSIDERED A POSSIBLE SHOCK HAZARD.

This is especially true whenever the system is:

• IN SEQUENCE

• READY TO WELD,

• IS WELDING,

• OR HAS JUST FINISHED WELDING.

When replacing or adjusting the electrode:

• Set power supply to “TEST” mode

Most AMI Power Supplies feature RF (radio frequency) Arc Starting. This is a High Voltage/High Frequency electrical transmission process. The GTAW process requires electrical potential (high voltage) to be present on the electrode and on exposed internal terminals during arc starting and during welding. ALL AMI Power Supplies contain a “bleeder” circuit to ground any residuals or potential after welding or after an aborted or bad “arc start” attempt. However, these circuits take a few seconds to operate or could fail.

MODEL 307 WARNINGS Continued:

WARNING: Welding can cause fires or explosions. Do not weld near flammable or explosive materials. Watch for fire. Have proper type of extinguisher in work area.

WARNING: Welding Operators should wear non-flammable protective clothing, footwear and head gear.

WARNING: Never weld on sealed containers or pipes. This may result in an EXPLOSION.

WARNING: Welding produces high temperatures in both the welded components and the welding equipment. Both can cause severe burns. Do not touch recently welded components. Avoid touching internal components of the welding system soon after use. Avoid touching torch components and welding fixtures soon after welding.

WARNING: The welding arc emits ultra-violet (UV) radiation and the molten weld gives off infra-red. Both can burn eyes and skin if unprotected. Suitable eye and skin protection must be worn.

WARNING: Weld materials can emit toxic fumes during welding. HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM, which is given off when stainless steel is

welded, causes lung cancer in humans. See Semi F79-0703 Appendix- HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM ALERT. WELD ONLY IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.

Document No. 740096 Chapter 2. Page 2. Rev. A

Arc Machines, Inc. Model 307 Orbital Welder Training

MODEL 307 WARNINGS Continued:

WARNING: Most GTAW gases like argon are non-toxic, however, argon is heavier than air and will displace the normal atmosphere in enclosed areas. DO NOT WELD IN ENCLOSED AREAS WITHOUT PROPER VENTILATION OR RESPIRATORS.

WARNING: AMI factory training is essential for all Welding Operators and Maintenance Technicians who operate AMI equipment. Consult factory for dates of training classes and other training information.

WARNING: Some systems, such as the M-307 Power Supply are intended solely for indoor use and must be kept dry. Before operating, storing, or handling, always make sure that the M-307, M-307RP Pendant, weld heads and cables are not exposed to rain or standing water. SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE NOT WATER PROOF.
