3INTRODUCTION
A21 PRB 17-- 49 / 33--90 / 60--170 is designed for TIG welding of tube joints.
The tube welding tools are adapted for connection to the LTO 160, LTO 250,
LTP 450, LT S 160, LTS 250, LTS 320 power source. If a filler wire is required, use
the MEI 21 wire feed unit.
The tube welding tools incorporate a special
gripping principle facilitating rapid and
accurate securing and location of the
tool on the tube. The pair of gripping
jaws (4) clamp the tool to the tube
when the locking lever (1) on the
handle is pressed in. Only the gear
collar (3) with the fitted details
rotates during welding.
The collar is powered by a drive
unit (2) consisting of a perm. magnet
DC motor and a pulse transmitter for speed
control. The motor is powered by the control equipment (power source).
