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.
