1. General machine description

ULTIMA-TIG is a patented grinder with a diamond wheel for wet grinding of

tungsten electrodes. This unique and patented construction gives together with the well-

known benefits of wet grinding, many advantages to obtain a perfect welding result.

The special grinding liquid in the sealed grinding chamber ensures that no

contaminated dust particles will be emitted into the surroundings. The grinding liquid

also ensures no discoloration of the tungsten electrode due to the heat, which has a

negative effect on the welding process.

A fine-grained grinding in the length-wise direction of the electrode is ensured due to

the unique construction of the tungsten electrode hol der and feeder tog ether w ith the

tangential grinding on the surface of the diamond w heel, T his is important for the

ignition capability of the tungsten electrode.

To ensure minimal griinding of the tungsten electrode (0,3-0,5 mm), a combined

electrode stick-out and locking device is located on the front of the machine. T he

grinding angle can be infinitely adjusted from 7,5 to 90 degrees (half angle) inclusive.

In the 90-degree position the tip of the electrode can be removed to the required

amount using the micrometer screw. This is of importance to the electrode’s tool life at

high welding currents.

A container for collection of toxic dust i s placed under the machi ne. This container is

easily replaced.

2. Delivered with the machine

Upon receipt please check that the following items are included in the package:

 ULTIMA-TIG machine with a diamond wheel

 Instruction manual and datasheet for the grinding liquid

 Container with grinding liquid

 Tungstenelectrode holder

 Electrode clamp ø1,6mm

 Electrode clamp ø2,4mm

 Electrode clamp ø3,2mm

3. Initial operation and transport

Place the U LTIMA-TIG on the encl osed table and f asten the machine. Please ensure

that the table is fixed.

The ON/OFF switch must be in the “OFF” position.

INELCO A/S I NSTRUCTION MANUAL

Inelco A/S • Haandvaerkervej 6 • DK-9690 Fjerritslev • Denmark 4/12

E-mail: info@weldingautomation.com.au

Connect the U LTIMA-TIG to the mains voltage stated on the type label. Use single-

phase power supplied with earth.

The ULTIMA-TIG must not operate without grinding liquid!!

The ULTIMA-TIG does not contain grinding liquid on delivery. Before starting the

machine grinding liquid must be applied. Take out the drain plug ( 8) and fit the

enclosed liquid container (39) to the machine. Place the filler neck on to the enclosed

container. Feed the ULTIMA-TIG with the grinding liquid through the hose (29) until the

correct liquid level has been r eached (please see mar k on the i nspection cover frame

(7)). There is sufficient liquid in the grinding chamber when the diamond wheel is seen

to pump the fluid as the machine is switched on.

For safety reasons the grinding l iquid must be drained f rom the ULTIMA-TIG into a

sealed closed container during transport.

ULTIMA-TIG can be operated in locations with surrounding temperatures ranging from

-10°C to +40°C and a relative humidity up to 50% at 40°C and 90% at 20°C.

The machine has been tested in accordance to protection class IP21.

4. Operational elements

•Current and main switch

•Carry handles

•Degree scale

•Electrode holder

•Stick-out adjustment

•Grinding fluid container 250 ml

•Micrometer screw to flatten the tip of the electrode

5. Safety procedures

•Never use the product if the grinding wheel is damaged

•Use only grinding wheels recommended by Inelco A/S

•Only use the product when all parts have been assembled

6. Fastening of the electrode in the electrode holder

Place the electrode clamp fitting the diameter of the tungsten electrode into the

electrode holder. Push the electrode through the electrode clamp and into the electrode

holder. Use y our fingers to tig hten the electrode lightly, please ensure that it may still

be able to slide in the electrode holder. The electrode must be extended approx. 2 cm

from the clamp. Then place the el ectrode and the holder into the stick-out setting(10)

placed below on the right front side until it stops and tighten the electrode with a

INELCO A/S I NSTRUCTION MANUAL

Inelco A/S • Haandvaerkervej 6 • DK-9690 Fjerritslev • Denmark 5/12

E-mail: info@weldingautomation.com.au

smooth turn of the el ectrode holder to the right. The electrode clamp has a hexagon

which fits the hole of the stick-out setting. The electrode may only be fastened so tight,

that it does not slide in the electrode clamp. If the electrode is fastened too tightly the

clamp may be damaged. A regulation screw on the back of the stick-out-setting makes

it possible to determine the length of the electrode you wish to grind. If you remove the

regulation screw, more electrode will be ground and visa versa. The manufacturer has

set the r egulation screw to grind approx. 0,3 mm in order to obtain maximum number

of grindings per electrode as possi ble. A minimum length of 30 mm of the electrode

means that you can re-grind the electrode 450 times. It is often not necessary to break

off metal dr ops on the electrode. T he metal drops do not alloy with the

electrode. They will be removed during grinding and a new tungsten surface which is

necessary for a good ignition of the electrode and a stable arc. In case a clean

tungsten sur face is not achieved the length of the stick-out can be extended. It is

necessary to adjust the stick-out as the diamond wheel is used up.

7. Setting the grinding angle

The grinding angle is set by aligning the pointer (24) on the electrode guide (22) to the

required number on the degree scale. The electrode guide is then locked in position

using the tightening screw (20). After inserting the tungsten electrode into the electrode

holder push i t into the el ectrode guide until the electrode reaches the diamond wheel.

Start the machine usi ng the ON /OFF sw itch ( 35) and WAIT FOR THE WHEEL TO

REACH FULL SPEED. Turn the electrode holder, gently pushing the electrode

against the diamond wheel. When the shoulder of the

electrode holder meets the face of the electrode guide the grinding is completed and

the electrode holder is withdrawn from the guide tube.

It is only necessary to press the electrode holder lightly against the diamond

wheel, as the weight of the electrode holder gives sufficient pressure by it self.

Do not remove the electrode holder from the machine until the wheel stops.

Remove the electrode from the electrode holder by placing the electrode holder into the

stick-out setting (10) and turn it left. Remove the electrode.

8. M aintenance

The ULTIMA-TIG should always be filled with sufficient grinding liquid to ensure

optimum collection of all grinding dust as well as adequate cooling of the grinding

process. The correct liquid level is between the minimum mark and 3mm above.

Please check the liquid level frequently and top up the level

of liquid as necessary. Only the original ULTIMA-TIG grinding liquid ensures the

optimum lifetime of the diamond wheel.

Heavily polluted (ie:FULL)grinding liquid or receivers containing grinding dust must

be deposited according to national regulations. Remember, Thoriated Tungsten is

mildly radioactive! (In most countries, burying in landfill is acceptable.)

After each10-15 hrs grinding (say 2500-3500points), the grinding chamber should be rinsed

thoroughly for grinding residue and dust. Tap off the grinding liquid through the hose(29)

and retain it in a deposit bottle for re-use. Liquid tank(39) is removed. Remove screws(21A),

inspection cover frame(7) and plastic inspection cover(6), and wash out the grinding

chamber with water. Leave the grinding residues safe in the liquid tank!

Then replace inspection cover frame(7),the liquid tank (39) and refill grinding

liquid to appropriate level. Please ensure that the person cleaning the ULTIMA-TIG

wears the appropriate safety gear e.g.

rubber gloves and protection glasses. Mains cabl es should be inspected at regular

intervals, and should only be replaced by a qualified electrician.

Contact Welding Automation for further information.

9. Replacement of the grinding wheel

Please follow the procedure below when disassembling the machine:

 The power to the ULTIMA-TIG must be turned off – pull the plug

 The g rinding l iquid i s tapped off, scr ews ( 21A), pl astic inspection cov er ( 6) and

cover frame (7) are removed. The wheel (4) wheel is now accessable.

Remove the grinding chamber as shown on Page 8A
