In Automatic Control, calibration will need to be com-
pleted rst. After changing the target force, the Auto
Set button on the Position Screen (see Figure 17.1) can
be used to calibrate the force. Once the play button is
pressed, the weld head will travel to the part, set the
Weld Point and Hover Point, then calibrate the force.
The up/down arrows on the position screen can be
used to move the weld head closer to the part prior to
calibration.
Press the forward arrow button to advance to the next
weld head setup step. You can always end the setup
process by pressing the Close Button at the bottom of
the screen.
POSITION
Setting the position is the third step in the set-
up process. In Automatic Control, there are two cong-
urable positions: Weld Point and Hover Point.
The Weld Point is the position in which the weld head
has contacted the part and has reached desired force.
The Hover Point is a position above the Weld Point to
which the weld head will return after the weld process is
complete.
The Hover Point value will always be smaller than the
Weld Point. You cannot set a hover point that is larger
than the weld point. When the Set Button (C) is pressed
on either of these points, the current position of the
weld head will be used for that point.
To set the position, follow these steps:
• Verify rst the Pico has been calibrated for
Force before continuing.
• Press the Auto Set Position Button (A). The Pico
will nd the Weld Point and then back o 3 mm
from the Weld Point.
The current position (B) is prominently displayed and
can be adjusted using the up/down buttons to the right,
if needed.
Note: If you manually set the Hover Point or Weld Point,
you must press the Set Button to establish those points
and make them known to the Pico.
Figure 17.1. Setting the position is the third step in the
setup process. Press the Auto Set Position Button A)
to automatically set the Hover Point and Weld Point.
You can manually adjust these points by pressing
Hover or Weld Point Set Buttons (C).. Be sure to touch
the Set Buttons once the desired position is achieved
to establish the points.
