Greetings, I hope this is the correct forum, please move if necessary.
I have a Linde VI-253 CV with a Linde/L-Tec MIG-35 PN 95355 wire feed unit that has recently been giving me some issues & I was hoping to find some advice and/or perhaps a manual/schematic/wiring diagram.
This machine probably get used 10hrs a year & last weekend I attempted to use it & I could hear the welding contactor slowly bouncing/banging a few times a second fairly rhythmically anytime the trigger was depressed at low wire feed settings. Further investigation revealed that the contact bounce is proportional to the wire feed setting, and unfortunately the contact bounce only stops when the wire speed is too fast to be usable. I had a new (furnas) contactor available, so I gave it a try & the issue persists. I’m running this machine off a 20hp rotary phase converter with the control transformers on the non-manufactured leg & hadn’t had this issue before last weekend.
Have anyone heard of any similar issues before and/or have any ideas where to look?
Thanks & take care,
