Section II. Welding using the Touch-Screen Controller
Prepare Processing Point and Set Weld Schedule (by example)
1. Turn the High Voltage OFF so the laser cannot produce a Laser output.
(The high voltage is automatically initialized during power-up).
2. Adjust the position of the laser beam output unit (focus head). Set the proper working distance
for each installed laser beam output unit (focus head).
3. Select SCHED button on the Laser Controller to access the SCHEDULE screen.
4. For this example, enter the following weld parameters in the FORM: FIX Screen.
Example Settings:
FORM: FIX
 SCH to #05
  SLOPE to 00.6ms
 FLASH1 to 03.6ms
 FLASH2 to 00.0ms
 FLASH3 to 00.0ms
  SLOPE to 00.0ms
 REPEAT = 00pps
 PEAK = 3.00kW
 OUTPUT VALUE = 100%
5. Select the SCHEDULE:# field. Enter 05
using the keypad, followed by ENT .
6. Select the PEAK POWER field. Enter
3.00 using the keypad, followed by ENT .
7. Select the TIME [ms] field under FLASH1 .
Enter 3.6 using the keypad, followed by
ENT .
8. Select the POWER [%] field under
FLASH1 . Enter 100.0 using the keypad,
followed by
ENT .
9. Select the TIME [ms] field under 
SLOPE
. Enter 0.6 using the keypad,
followed by
ENT .
When the above data is programmed in
the Schedule screen, the output pulse
waveform will appear as shown on the
right.
Now we’re ready to weld!
