9.8 Arc Welding Management and Maintenance
9.8.1 ARC WELD DIAGNOSIS Window
An optimum arc welding requires timely contact-tip replacement and nozzle cleaning. It is also
recommended that the user check how often such functions as arc retry, arc restart, and automatic
anti-stick have been used and adjust the operating environment and work conditions accordingly.
The usage of the above-mentioned functions can be controlled or confirmed on the ARC WELD
DIAGNOSIS window. For example, contact-tip replacement is initially set at 180 minutes. When the
welding time reaches 180 minutes, an external output signal (system output) is output. The operator
can then replace the tip or adjust as necessary.
WORK CONTINUE(CONT, STOP)
When the manipulator is restarted after it stops in the middle of a work section, the
manipulator either performs welding over the remaining part of the section or moves without
performing welding.
TIP REPLACE, NOZZLE CLEAN (0 to 999 minutes)
In the “SETTING” fields, specify the optimum timings for contact-tip replacement and nozzle
cleaning. The initial values are 180 minutes for contact-tip replacement; 30 minutes for
nozzle cleaning. The “ACCUM.” fields display an accumulated service duration.
RETRY, RESTART (ARC), ANTI-STICK
In each of the “SETTING” fields, specify a reference value for the number of times each
function is used. As an initial setting, 10 is specified for each function. Each of the
“ACCUM.” fields displays the accumulated count, showing how many times the function has
been used.
ARC RETRY, ARC RESTART, and ANTI-STICK counts:
These counts are different from the maximum repetition counts specified in the arc
auxiliary condition file. These counts show how many times these functions have actually
been used.
