darkness/brightness to an unsafe level (e.g. too bright).
WELD LENGTH SLIDER
In Seam mode, the weld length slider automatically changes its maximum value to
insure each seam weld will take place at the selected power setting. For example;
if the weld power for a square wave is set to 4 kW, and the welds per second is set
to 25, the welder will only allow a weld time that allows the system to fully charge
and provide for identical welds during the seam cycle. e user can reduce the time to smaller values than the maximum
allowed time if desired. is automatic time adjustment can be turned off by unchecking the toggle box “Adjust max length
to give consistent welds during seam welds”. When automatic weld time adjustment is turned off, the user can create
situations where the first welds will be larger than the final weld. is difference happens due to the insufficient charging
time between welds to refill the lost weld energy before the next weld takes place.
NUMBER OF WELDS SLIDER OR TOTAL SEAM DURATION SLIDER
ese two sliders are toggled by checking or unchecking the “Show Total Number
of Welds” check box. When the Total Weld Time slider is activated, the user selects
the total time they would like the seam weld to occur. e welder will fit the number
of welds into this time based on the weld rate selected (Welds per Second slider).
When the Total Number of Welds slider is active, the screen will display the maximum
number of welds that can fit into the welder’s maximum allowable seam weld time. In either mode of operation, the user
should be cautions in selecting a setting. Start with small seam times, or small total number of welds, until a feel has been
developed for how much energy the welding process places into the work-piece. e default setting for this slider is to
adjust the Total Weld Time. e Total Weld Time slider will default to a two second burst.
Also note that the welding process can be interrupted at any time by use of the foot pedal. If the seam weld was initiated in
Foot Pedal Trigger mode, the user can simply disengage the foot pedal to abort the welding process. If the weld was started
in automatic trigger mode, the user can depress the foot pedal to stop the welding process.
WELDS PER SECOND SLIDER
is slider changes the rate of welding that the user would like between 0 to 30 welds
per second. e zero welds per second setting can be used for pre-heating the work-
piece, as mentioned earlier. When preheating a part, pick a location that does not
have small features (prongs etc.) as these can potentially melt. is preheat mode of
operation can also be used to produce a very low-current seam weld for the specified
weld time. is can be useful for very small weld joints and very thin materials. Even when the Welds per Second slider has
been set to values above one, the background arc will take place during the welding process. Seam welding very small parts
may require additional heat sinking to prevent them from melting in unwanted ways. For smaller parts it is recommended
that you use short seam weld times.
POWER
e power knob in the advanced seam welding screen acts the same as has been previously
discussed.
