Operating instructions for the ABICOR BINZEL SR/ABITIG GRIP manual TIG welding torch, covering setup, operation, and maintenance for air and liquid-cooled…
This document provides operating instructions for the SR/ABITIG® GRIP manual TIG welding torch, available in both air-cooled and liquid-cooled versions. It details the identification, safety requirements, and product specifications for the welding torch system.
The guide covers the complete lifecycle of the device, including initial setup (equipping the torch, shortening the tungsten electrode, connecting hoses and coolant), operation procedures, shutdown steps, maintenance, and disposal instructions. It also explains the functions of the torch handle controls. This manual is written in German.
| Operating temperature range | 10 °C to + 40 °C |
|---|---|
| Storage and transport temperature range | -25°C to + 55 °C |
| Relative humidity | up to 90 % at 20 °C |
| Tungsten electrode consumption | >1 g |
| Voltage rating | 13 V peak |
| Protection class | IP3X |
| Shielding gas | Argon |
| Torch switch voltage | 0.02 - 42 V (DC and AC) |
| Torch switch current | 0.01 - 100 mA |

The torch is available in both liquid-cooled and air-cooled versions.
A circulation cooling unit is required for the liquid-cooled version.
Argon is the recommended shielding gas according to the specifications.
The liquid-cooled hose packs may leak when overheated, so the circulation cooling unit should continue to run for about 5 minutes after welding.
