The Actual Weld Time is the time from the start of the main current to
the time that the stud hits the workpiece. Under normal conditions, it
will be equivalent to the Front Panel Time. This time measurement is
reported after the weld is complete.
For example:
•
Front Panel Time = 50ms
•
Drop Time (F31) = 20ms
•
Plunge short circuit on-time (F2) =
50ms The weld profile would look like this:
The resulting Actual Weld Time is 50 ms. The main current would be
on for the Front Panel Time + Plunge short circuit on-time (F2) =
50ms+50ms=100ms, but the arc would exist only during the Actual
Weld Time, or 50ms.
