• Regardless of the mode, the welder must see
the Robot Ready and Source Error Reset
signals before it will allow any sort of welding or
selections to occur:
• When using this mode, the welder controls the
entire weld process. The robot will put the
welder in job mode, call out a job number, and
control the weld travel speed. Everything else
is typically handled by the welder itself.
• Robot movement usually based off of the
process active signal.
• This mode allows for the most customization of
the weld and ensures that the timing between
weld factors are smooth, efficient, and quick.
• Adjust the weld parameters is typically done
from the welder or a separate pendant. This is
not true of every interface, however.
• NOTE: The points above are intended as a
general guide. Exceptions can be made as the
application requires.
