Welcome to our guide on using a handheld welding machine. Proper parameter adjustments are crucial for achieving high-quality welds. This article will provide essential welding principles, a detailed process example, and tips for fine-tuning your machine.

Welding Machine Features

Welding Principles

1. Plate Thickness and Wire Thickness:

●Thicker plates require thicker wires.

●Thicker plates and wires need higher power settings.

●Wire feeding should be slower for thicker materials.


2. Power Settings:

●Lower power settings result in a whiter weld surface.

●Higher power settings can change the weld color from color to black, indicating one-sided forming.


3. Wire Thickness:

●The wire thickness should not exceed the plate thickness.

●Thicker wires can affect the fullness of the weld seam.

●Thinner wires result in a lower scanning width.


4. Laser Brand Variations:

●Different brands of lasers may require fine-tuning.

●Aluminum processes need higher power settings (20%-30% more) compared to stainless steel.

●Focus adjustments might be necessary depending on the machine.

Process Example: 0.5mm Stainless Steel Shaded Corner Welding

Initial Settings:

●Welding Wire: 0.8mm Stainless Steel

●Scanning Speed: 350

●Scanning Width: 2

●Peak Power: 350

●Duty Cycle: 100

●Frequency: 2000

●Result: The outgoing light penetrated the plate and caused significant distortion.

First Adjustment:

●Peak Power: Reduced to 260

●Result: Reduced distortion, but it was still easy to burn through at the beginning of the light out.

Second Adjustment:

●Peak Power: Reduced to 200

●Result: Reduced distortion significantly. Increasing the width to 3 improved the welding effect further.
