Q: Do I need a mechanical regulator between the vigilaweld and a gas network?

At all, it is recommended to remove the existing regulator if it is flow rate - scale in liters / minute - especially if it has a Bourdon tube indicator (watch dial with needle). If it is to make comparative test of consumption it can be maintained but opening the step to the maximum with the Vigila as in regulator mode , in that case the measures offered by the mechanical meter or rotameter will not be correct. If it is a pressure regulator what there is - scale in bars - it will suffice to set more than 2.5 bars and prevent anyone from changing it.

Q: I need a mechanical regulator between a gas bottle and the vigilaweld?

In this case it is imperative to put a gas regulator-reducer with manometer , adjusted at least to three bars.

Q: The gas connection and power supply, how are they?

To connect the regulator we only have to place it at any point in the gas installation, before the wire feeder. The necessary electrical connection is through a standard 230 Vac Schuko socket and a 24 Vdc power supply or preferably with a 24 V 1 Amp DC source from the robot. The ground/chassis of the equipment must go to the ground/chassis of the robot and the welding cell. The equipment is convenient to be placed in a visible place to control your screen.
