Parameters of CMT characteristics
General
Ignition In CMT processes, the ignition process is generally initiated with SFI (Spatter-Free Igni-
tion). Regardless of the CMT characteristic, subsequent ignition behaviour in the CMT pro-
cess is controlled by the following parameters:
NOTE! The creation and editing of CMT characteristics is a complex task and
therefore a core skill of Research & Development. Special measurement technol-
ogy (e.g. a high-speed camera, oscilloscope) as well as extensive background
knowledge is required for the creation and editing of CMT characteristics.
The modification of CMT characteristics on-site simply optimizes the application
in question.
- vd_ignition or - slaghammer On_1/Off_0
- I_ignition - I_ignition
- t_ignition - t_ignition
- U_hotstart
- t_hotstart
vd_ignition
Wire feed speed command value [m/min] before welding begins (-30 - +30)
-30 = backward movement of the wire electrode at 30 m/min
+30 = forward movement of the wire electrode at 30 m/min
I_ignition
Command value for the ignition current [A], set when welding begins. The ignition current
depends on the filler metal and wire diameter.
t_ignition
Length of time [ms] that the parameters Vd_ignition and I_ignition are active when weld-
ing begins.
0 = no ignition current, no wire feed speed
99.98 = max. duration for ignition current and wirefeed speed command value
U_hotstart
Parameter [V] for changing the arc length when welding starts
10 = short arc
40 = long arc
t_hotstart
The length of time [ms] that the change in the arc length is active when welding begins.
0 = no change in the arc length
654.98 = max. duration for the change in arc length
