Components and monitoring process parameters
Process parame-
ters for compo-
nents
The following process parameters can be set and displayed for the system components of
a welding system:
Cooling unit mode
To determine whether a cooling unit is to be switched on or off, or operated automatically
Setting range eco / auto / on / off (depending on the cooling unit)
Factory setting auto
Flow sensor filter time
For setting the time from when the flow sensor responds until a warning message is out-
put
Unit s
Setting range 5 - 25
Factory setting 5
Feeder inching speed
For setting the wire speed at which the wire electrode is threaded into the torch hosepack
Unit m/min (ipm)
Setting range for example: 2 - 25
(depending on wire speed)
Factory setting 10
TouchSensing sensitivity
For setting the TouchSensing sensitivity for various component surfaces and external in-
fluences
(TouchSensing = detection of the weld seam position using sensor voltage applied during
automated welding)
Unit -
Setting range 1 - 10
Factory setting 1
1 for bare surfaces, robust and not susceptible to interference
10 for oxidised surfaces, higher measurement-related susceptibili-
ty to interference
TouchSensing only works if the relevant option is available in the power source.
Ignition time-out
Length of wire that is fed before the safety cut-out trips
Unit mm (in.)
Setting range off / 5 - 100 (0.2 - 3.94)
Factory setting off
NOTE! The ignition time-out process parameter is a safety function. The length
of wire that is fed before the safety cut-out trips may differ from the preset wire
length, particularly when the wire is being fed at fast wire speeds.
