Creating new characteristic points for user charac-
teristics
General The "Create new characteristic point" function can be performed in the following menu
items:
- MIG/MAG synergic welding
- MIG/MAG standard manual welding
The basics of
plotting new char-
acteristic points
Various parameter settings can be saved in the user characteristics as characteristic
points.
The following are required to create a new characteristic point:
- Welding program (filler metal, wire diameter, shielding gas), for which a characteristic
point is to be created
- Value for the wirefeed speed (e.g. reference values corresponding to previous welding
attempts, past experience or material strength)
Creating a new
characteristic
point
Procedure for when certain parameter settings are to be saved as a characteristic point:
"Create new characteristic point" screen: No.6 -
"Al99.5 1.2 I1 mod selected"
Call up the welding program for which
a characteristic point is to be created
Set the wirefeed speed for which the
characteristic point is to be created
In the relevant "Data" screen, press F2
"Create new characteristic point"
– The 1st screen in the wizard appe-
ars ("Create new characteristic
point")
Select corresponding characteristic
using the adjusting dial (18)
– If the characteristic point to be cre-
ated is to be added to a characte-
ristic that does not correspond to
the currently set characteristic
(e.g. adding an aluminium charac-
teristic point to a CuSi characteri-
stic), a precautionary query
appears
NOTE! Creating new characteristic points requires a knowledge of arc and weld-
ing technology.
IMPORTANT! At least two characteristic points are needed to create a user characteristic.
To optimise all power ranges, however, 6-10 characteristic points should be programmed
(one point per material strength). A maximum of 19 characteristic points can be pro-
grammed.
