Miller MATIC 180 MIG w/cart/AND SPOOLMATE 100 SPOOLGUN 907312011 Questions & Answers
Spoolmate 100 wont feed
Check for binding int he inner sleeve first, then increase tension as long as feed motor spins. If feed motor does not spin check wiring to make sure it is connected correctly.
Pourosity in my welds as if there is no sheilding
Hi:
The main causes for porosity are: lack of inert gas or too much flow of gas.
- If you can hear and feel the flow of gas on; avoid the high flow by decreasing the flow to max of 20 scfh for when welding inside with no draughts if welding outside you can increase it to 30 scfh.
- Before welding clean your welding piece with a wire brush.
- Check you voltage; a high voltage can also cause porosity due to the high heat of the arc and coldness of the gas.
These three actions should improve your welding.
Same welder with the same
Did you install the switch that it comes with the spool gun inside the 180? and did you turn on the spool gun side switch on the side of the unit?
Welding gun doesnt respond when trigger is pressed
First determine if the wire drive motor responds to the trigger.
If not, then there is a fuse for the motor I believe.
If the motor tries to drive the wire, the wire MAY have jammed into the side of the transfer tube or the end fitting preventing it from moving.
Spoolgun wire speed starts out slow then speeds
Check the Clutch on the wire reel, usualy a bolt centred on the hub this is possibley too tight, slack this off and try again, Tack the tension off the WFR check the speeds are viriable through the range,
I have a miller 180 autoset that does not feed the wire
If your welder is less than 3 years old your local Miller authorized service center will repair it for FREE. They can also check the serial number of your welder over the phone to see if it is still in warranty. For goodness sake DON'T tell them you've been mucking around inside the welder or they won't be able to help you.
That said, if the welder spins the feed wheels without any wire between them it probably isn't the board. There is the switch in the gun, the board, and the motor and brake assembly all needed to feed the wire.
P-7 error in miller co2 welding machine
The P-7 error in your Miller XMT 304 CC/CV welding machine indicates that the input voltage is too high, causing the unit to automatically shut down. However, operation will resume when the voltage falls within the acceptable upper range limit (which is 15% above the applicable input voltage). Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and address this issue:
Check Input Voltage: Verify that the input voltage is within the specified range for your machine. If it exceeds the acceptable limit, consider adjusting the power source or using a different power supply.
Inspect Bleeder Resistors: The P-7 error is often related to the side output board, particularly the bleeder resistors. Ensure that these components are functioning correctly. If any of them are faulty, replace them.
Examine IGBTs: Inspect the IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) on the side board. Even if they appear fine, remove the output board and verify the protection diodes on it. Sometimes, an IGBT may have a damaged base that isn't immediately obvious.
Be Cautious: When working on the machine, be extremely careful. There are high voltages (around 325 volts) stored in the large capacitors, which can be fatal if mishandled. Always wear appropriate protective gear and follow safety precautions. The complexity of the device may require expert assistance.
I have a Miller Synco Wave 350 DX TIG/arc welder but my Remote 14 is not reading my pedal. I checked the pedal and its good. I turned welder off unplugged the pedal, turned welder back on.
Based on the information provided, it seems that there may be an issue with the Remote 14 connection on the Miller Synco Wave 350 DX TIG/arc welder. Here are some steps that can be taken to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Check the Remote 14 connection: Make sure that the Remote 14 connector is securely plugged into the welder. If it is loose or not fully connected, this could cause issues with the pedal not being recognized.
2. Check the pedal connection: Ensure that the pedal is properly connected to the Remote 14 connector. If it is not plugged in all the way or if there is any damage to the cable, this could cause issues with the pedal not being recognized.
3. Check for error codes: The Miller Synco Wave 350 DX TIG/arc welder has a built-in diagnostic system that can display error codes if there is an issue with the machine. Check to see if any error codes are displayed and refer to the user manual for troubleshooting steps.
4. Contact Miller customer support: If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact Miller customer support for further assistance.
In summary, if your Remote 14 is not reading your pedal on your Miller Synco Wave 350 DX TIG/arc welder, you should check the connections, look for error codes, and contact customer support if necessary.
I have a miller 250 nt, it will stay running when the switch is on run but when i turn the switch to run/idle it runs for a second then cuts off
If you do not have the manual, you can download it for ftee here:http://www.millerwelds.com/service/ownersmanuals.php?modelThings to check would be make sure the fuel solenoid is functional, and wired to the ignition switch correctly. Also check to make sure idle speed is set correctly. If you can keep it running operating the throttle linkage manually when switched over to run/idle, the linkage itself may not be the correct length or the idle speed is out of adjustment.Also check for loose wiring to the ignition circuit or bent kill contact.It might also be some dirt in the carb bowl or low float level. Float should sit level with air horn inverted and just the weight of the float on the inlet needle valve.
