Overview

D/F Machine Specialties does not manufacture or sell Tungsten Electrodes. Please contact Wolfram Industrie GmbH for more details.

D/F Machine Specialties recommends Tungsten Electrodes manufactured by Wolfram Industrie GmbH

Wolfram Industries TIG welding electrodes are 100% developed in Germany and manufactured from powder. Features of the extensive product range consisting of in-house developments and DIN standard electrodes.

• Optimum ignition reliability
• Low burn-off
• Homogeneous distribution of substances
• Long service life
• High arc quality

As Europe’s sole manufacturer authorized for tungsten-thorium production, Wolfram not only offers radiation-free alternatives but also the only WTh electrodes of premium quality.

Overview

D/F Machine Specialties does not manufacture the Gas Flow Monitor. Please refer to the "Ordering" section below for more details.

The Gas Flow Monitor (GFM™) by Computer Weld Technology precisely measures flow rates of welding shielding gases using the state of the art MEMS flow sensor with OLED graphic display.

The GFM™ has 6 selectable gas settings, ARGON, Argon/ CO2 (90/10), Argon/ CO2 (80/20), Argon/ CO2 (75/25), Helium, and CO2. The GFM™ can be custom ordered and configured for additional gas mixturess.

A flow rate (5 to 255 SCFH) is digitally displayed with a 1 SCFH resolution. The accuracy of the 3% of full scale reading on the GFM™ is considerably better than conventional ball type flow meterse.

The GFM™ can be installed in-line, downstream of the gas regulator for permanent installations, and is available in a battery powered configuration with a rubber cone for testing gas flow at the welding torch nozzle throughout the shop.

WARNING - Do Not use with any flammable gases.

Features

• When fully charged, the battery operated version operates for up to 24 hours
• Capability to limit test, provide an accumulated gas usage and peak flow rates as well as displaying on-going gas flow rates.
• The unit also provides an analog output voltage representing measured gas flow rates.
• The GFM also has a Modbus® RS-485 serial port. The sensor can communicate with third party controllers via the Modbus® protocol. The sensor defines 16 coils and 10 Registers for use with the Modbus® serial port.
• The GFM uses an OLED graphic display panel to display the gas flow rates, to provide programming menus and user defined optional parameter display.
• The GFM is software configurable for English or Metric units of measure with 6 user selectable gas types.

Benefits

• The convenience and accuracy of the GFM enables this welding tool to pay for itself many times over
• The in-line version is designed to be permanently installed in a welding fixture to continously monitor the gas flow rate
• The portable version can be used to check the gas flow rate directly at the welding torch
• An internal fault relay can be used to warn or interrupt the welding process if an out-of-limits condition is detected
• Provides gas "Sure-Flow" switch capability for Robotic and Automatic Weld Fixtures
• Reduces gas usage by allowing proper setting of the gas flow rates at the nozzle
• Reduces costly weld repairs by assuring proper gas flow rates

Overview

For any water-cooled application it is important to keep a torch cool to avoid damage, downtime, and increase consumable life. Additional protection for the torch is needed when working with preheat. D/F recommends a high temperature fiberglass wrap to wrap the full length of the body and to protect it from the reflective heat. This high temperature tape is heat, flame and fire resistant. This fiberglass (fibreglass) knitted tape is fabricated from high quality type E fiberglass that will not burn and will withstand continuous exposure to temperatures of 1000°F / 520°C.

The following technical specifications are recommended for choosing the correct fiberglass tape:

• Fiberglass Type: E Glass
• Effect of Heat: Will Not Burn; Withstand continuous exposre to at least 1000°F
• Thermal Insulating
• Non-cumbustable
• High chemical resistance (bleach, solvents, acids, alkalis)

If you have any questions about the high temperature tape or other recommended products, please do not hesitate to contact the factory at (507) 625-6200 or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
