2SAFETY
Users of ESAB welding equipment have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that anyone who
works on or near the equipment observes all the relevant safety precautions.
Safety precautions must meet the requirements that apply to this type of welding equipment.
The following recommendations should be observed in addition to the standard regulations that apply
to the work place.
All work must be carried out by trained personnel well familiar with the operation of the welding equipment.
Incorrect operation of the equipment may lead to hazardous situations which can result in injury to the
operator and damage to the equipment.
1.Anyone who uses the welding equipment must be familiar with:
Sits operation
Slocation of emergency stops
Sits function
Srelevant safety precautions
Swelding
2.The operator must ensure that:
Sno unauthorized person is stationed within the working area of the equipment when it is
started up.
Sthat no--one is unprotected when the arc is struck
3.The work place must:
Sbe suitable for the purpose
Sbe free from draughts
4.Personal safety equipment
SAlways wear recommended personal safety equipment, such as safety glasses, flame--proof
clothing, safety gloves.

WARNING
ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAUTIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER’S SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE
BASED ON MANUFACTURERS’ HAZARD DATA.
ELECTRIC SHOCK -- Can kill
SInstall and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable standards.
SDo not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.
SInsulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.
SEnsure your working stance is safe.
FUMES AND GASES -- Can be dangerous to health
SKeep your head out of the fumes.
SUse ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and
the general area.
ARC RAYS -- Can injure eyes and burn skin.
SProtect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective
clothing.
SProtect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.
FIRE HAZARD
SSparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.
NOISE -- Excessive noise can damage hearing
SProtect your ears. Use ear defenders or other hearing protection.
SWarn bystanders of the risk.
MALFUNCTION -- Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
3INTRODUCTION
3.1General
A21 PRG is an equipment intended for automatic TIG welding of tube joints, particularly adapted for the ESAB power sources PROTIG 315 and MECHTIG 315.
The A21 PRG 25--45 tube welding tool has been developed for the welding of heat
exchangers. The working range is 25--40 mm.

Space required for tubes arranged acc. toAs to straight rows of tubes
figure, see diagram below.C--C is limited by the width of the
tool -- 100 mm. See dimension draw
ing.
dsa7d002
In case of welding with cold filler wire the wire feed unit MEI 20 can be connected.
The tube welding tool A21 PRG (see fig. below) is adapted to the tool diameter by
way of exchangeable jaws ( 1) forming a V--block.
The opposite movable jaw (2) is pulled against the tube while turning the blocking
shaft (3), and by that the tool is fixed to the tube.

Only the open gear ring (4) with the fitted components is rotating during welding. The
gear ring is rotated by the drive unit (5) consisting of a permanently magnetized DC
motor with a planetary gear. To obtain the necessary speed control accuracy a feed-back system with tachometer generator is used.
The drive unit is connected to the gear unit (6) that drives the open gear ring by way
of two wheels (7). Before dismounting the tool from the tube, the gear ring must be
rotated until the opening coincides with the opening of the fork (9). This is done over
the control box.

The welding head is designed so as to keep the wire
distance constant in relation to the envelope surface
during welding.
The distance of the wire to the joint as well as its lateral
position can be fine--adjusted, see instructions under
