POINT
Normally, use the welding characteristic data given in Table 1.4.3 dedicated to “High”
application. The ones for “Standard” application must be used only when the welding
speed is low (50cm/min or lower in general), which causes unstable welding
performance.
Also, welding performance may become unstable when using the extended power cable
depending on the layout condition of cables (when the total length exceeds 30m or the
cable is coiled). In that case, voltage adjustment will normally bring about stable
condition. However, use the welding characteristic data dedicated to “Standard:
extension” application if the welding performance is not yet stable. In order to register
“Standard: extension” application, change the operator qualification to “
SPECIALIST
”.)
