6.1.2.3Absolute Distance Mode, IW+ only
Use Absolute Distance Mode when the final workpiece height is crucial for your
application. For example, when welding a film canister that must fit snugly into a camera
body. Use this mode when dimensional consistency of the final workpiece is critical, or to
monitor suspect parts.
Absolute Distance mode can be set with Time and Absolute or Collapse Distance limits.
The following figure illustrates weld cycles in Absolute Distance mode with different limit
settings.

In Collapse or Absolute Distance Modes the weld time parameter acts as an overriding
condition. Ensure Time is setup to allow for the collapse or absolute distances to be
attained during a weld.
