9.3.6 Wire-stick Check Function
Anti-Stick Function
The wire may stick to the workpiece after welding is completed (). As an anti-stick process, the
Power Source temporarily increases the voltage at the end of welding(). After the anti-stick process,
a wire stick check is performed(). If the anti-stick process failed and a wire stick is detected, the
manipulator enters a hold status or performs the automatic sticking release process, depending on the
anti-stick condition specified.
Time required for the anti-stick process differs depending on the Power Sources. The anti-stick process
times for different Power Sources is registered in the Power Source characteristic file. The wire check
is performed after the anti-stick process time has elapsed.
Wire stick
“Wire stick” refers to the contact of the wire to the workpiece as observed after the arc-
