Parts and Function of A Welding Machine

This document discusses the parts and functions of welding machines. It begins by identifying the learning objectives of being able to identify parts of transformer and inverter welding machines and perform basic setup. It then describes the main parts of welding machines including the carry handle, current setting gauge, on/off switch, current regulating knob, electrode holder, earth clamp, overload LED, cooling fan, wire brush/chipping hammer, and welding mask. It explains that welding machines take electrical current and convert it into an arc of energy to fuse materials. The document also briefly describes transformer, alternator/generator, and inverter type welding machines and their functions. It concludes with an activity where students will demonstrate setup and identify parts of a welding machine

WELDING MACHINE
• are machines used to permanently
connect metal pieces with heat
generated from electrical energy.
They are available in a variety of sizes
and output voltages, from a small
hobby model with an 80-amp output to
an industrial model with a 12,000-amp
output for spot welding.
How does it work?

• Welding machines take the


electrical current from a
high-voltage power source
and convert it into a usable
arc of energy to fuse two
materials together.
TYPES OF
WELDING
MACHINE
• Transformer type
Some welding machines
use a transformer to
convert the high voltage
current from the wall
outlet into a lower
voltage current for
output. The output
current can then be
adjusted within a certain
range.
Alternator or Generator
• welding machines
use a motor or
combustion engine
to convert electrical
energy into
mechanical energy.
• used to convert this
mechanical energy
into a low-current
electrical output.
Inverter type
Inverter welding machines
produce the high voltages
needed for high-intensity
arc welding. The machine
stores the high voltage
current from the wall
outlet in a capacitor. A
microprocessor then
switches the stored energy
into a transformed where
it is converted into the
desired output current.
Carry handle

• makes the welding machine


portable/ easy to carry.
Current Setting Gauge

• measure and display the


current setting in a
welding operate.
On/off switch

• turns the machine on


and off
Current regulating knob

• a rotary switch that is


used to adjust the
current setting.
Electrode holder
• A holder is an ergonomically
designed electrode handler that
can be modified to hold the
electrode at a different angle. It
is connected to the negative
polarity of the electrode.
Earth clamp

• To connect the
machine to the
base metal.
Overload LED

• indicates that the


machine has to stop the
operation to give cooling
time.
Cooling Fan

keep the machine at


optimal operating
temperature.
Combination wire brush/
chipping hammer –

a hand tool used


remove plaques /
slag.
Welding mask

an equipment essential
in welding. It protects
the eyes of the welding
during a welding
operation.
Activity 2
• Choose your group / partner, demonstrate
to the class the basic set up of a welding
machine, identify the parts and explain the
function.

• Each pair will be given 3 minutes.


Assignment
• Submit a picture/video of
you setting up any
equipment or appliances
in your home.
