MissingRootGas

No root gas!

Kuka · LaserTech 3.1

What does MissingRootGas mean?

The required root gas supply is either off, depleted, or not reaching the laser system at the necessary flow/pressure. This will negatively impact weld quality, especially for root passes, and may cause program interruption.

Common Causes

  • The primary gas supply (root gas) is not detected or is at zero pressure.
  • Gas cylinder is empty or the valve is closed.
  • Failure in the root gas control valve.
  • Sensor malfunction for root gas pressure monitoring.
  • Incorrect gas connection or plumbing error.
