MIG Active Shield 70

SUSTAINED MIG GUN ANTI SPATTER PROTECTION
THROUGHOUT WELDING

This is a new generation MIG Anti Spatter device which ones installed in the gas line of a welding robot or welding automated station, generates a protective anti spatter mist during welding. An electrostatic generator adds electrostatic charge to the fine droplets of the protective mist. The electrostatically charged protective mist passes through the welding gun continuously protects both the welding gun and welded details from welding spatters. In this way, an active shield is generated each time the welding is started. The device is autonomous and integrated into the welding equipment.

Nonstop protection during welding.
Complex protection – simultaneous protection of the the welding gun and positive effect on welded parts.
Self – acting protection – the protection is integrated into the welding equipment and it is activated when the welding starts and deactivated when the welding stops.
Nonstop protection of the welding gun during welding.
Extending the service life of welding gun consumables several times.
Considerably increasing the time between cleanings of welding torch – reduction of non-productive times.
In many cases a self-cleaning process of the gas nozzle can be achieved - eliminates the need for cleaning

Programming the blowing of the welding gun after welding cycle eliminates in many cases the need for cleaning
Reducing spatters on welded details 40-70 %.
In many applications the most of the rest spatters are easily removed by using just a small metal scraper because of the strongly reduced spatter adhesion.
In many cases the summary result is 70-90 %.
Limitations. When welding shot blasted or galvanized surfaces, also heated surfaces due to changes in surface conditions, the effect of using this method is limited. Other anti spatter methods may be added in these cases.
Extremely low consumption of protective fluid.
Extremely low emission in work environment. More than 100 times lower emission in the environment compared to other methods.

Installing

As the robot moves and tilts, the position of the device installed to it also changes.
Changing the position of the device must be ensured within the range +45 to -45 degree .
To ensure this the device is installed on the robot as shown.

The installation position of the device when mounted on a non-robot welding station may be vertical

Powering

The MIG Active Shield device needs to be powered up. The power supply is designed to be taken from the terminals of the gas solenoid /usually placed inside the wire feeder/. This ensures that the device is activated every time the welding is started.

Important: The gas solenoid must provide an operating voltage in the range 12 – 80 V AC/DC. The operating voltage should be measured on site when the gas solenoid is activated.

Important: If the operating voltage of the gas solenoid is out of this range then the Active Shield device cannot be effectively powered up. In this case we offer our standard product – MIG Transit Sprayer 70. Also in such of case we can offer creating a specific solution tailored to the client’s parameters.

The operating voltage of the gas solenoid is adapted to the operating voltage of MIG Active Shield device by an Adapter 8012

Working Fluid

The Active Shield fluid is made up of special ingredients with numerous precise rations.

The fluid is produced in a special way and a sequence of technological periods.
The fluid properties are in a special relationship with the parameters of the device
The fluid is eco-focused. More than 80 % of the ingredients are natural products
The fluid is supplied in 70 ml plastic refills
Just one filling of the device with 70 ml fluid is enough for the time your robot consumes about 250 kg of welding wire
