AMIG 500 PR PLUS – Troubleshooting, Care and Maintenance

7. TROUBLE SHOOTING

Warning! An electric shock can be fatal. Before doing any work on the machine:

Switch it off and unplug it from the mains.

Put up a clearly legible and easy-to-understand warning sign to stop anybody inadvertently switching it on again.

Check to make sure the electrically charged components (e.g.capacitors) have been discharged.

Bolts in machine case also work for ground connection. Never use other bolt that can not work for ground connection.

8 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before open the machine

Warning! An electric shock can be fatal. Before doing any work on the machine:

Switch it off and unplug it from the mains.

Put up a clearly legible and easy-to-understand warning sign to stop anybody inadvertently switching it on again.

Check to make sure the electrically charged components (e.g.capacitors) have been discharged.

Bolts in machine case also work for ground connection. Never use other bolt that cannot work for ground connection.

Maintenance

Please follow the instructions as below to ensure normal lifespan of power source.

  • Conduct safety check at regular intervals (see “Safety rules”)
  • Dismantle machine side panels and clean machine inside with clean and low-pressure compressed air by professional technician, not less than twice per year. Clean the components at a certain distance only;
  • If a lot of dust has accumulated, clean the cooling-air ducts.
Maintenance of water-cooled welding torch

For water-cooled welding torch:

  • Check the connections of water cooling system
  • Check the coolant level and cleanliness(clean coolant only)
  • Frequently check coolant’s back flow state

Intelligent robot workstations, intelligent work islands, providing the entire process (cutting, assembly, welding, grinding, inspection, etc.) of intelligent applications for the non-standard metal structure manufacturing industry.

Fans and friends brought components from their factory to our company for inspection and trial welding.

No programming was required.

We could choose any one and place it on our welding workbench.

We only accelerated the unedited content of the following test.

We can see the impact of robot vision on this component.

It scanned the welding seams of the outer and inner circles and uploaded the program to the robot.

Then the welding started.

From moving into position to starting the arc, it took about one minute.

The robot continuously welded all the seams on the outer and inner circles.

This is the welded result.

Later, the customer requested to test multi-layer and multi-pass welding.

Compare this welding process with the 600 welders in your factory who work every day.

Facing the diversified construction conditions of the power tower industry, our intelligent robotic welding system delivers stable, beautiful weld seams while redefining the production process.

Simply place the components — no model import required.

With advanced visual imaging and reverse modeling, the system automatically performs path planning for fully automated welding. Robots operate autonomously along the ground track, completing the entire process from the first weld to the last without human intervention.

After finishing one side, the system automatically turns the component and continues welding on the other side.

One operator can manage multiple intelligent welding lines at the same time.

This solution significantly reduces reliance on highly skilled welders, transforming production efficiency and product quality from difficult-to-control variables into predictable, stable, and manageable outputs.
