Dual Servo Spin Welder User’s Manual

The Move To button is used to rotate the tool to the value displayed in the Position (Deg..) field. After pressing this button, activate both RUN switches and wait for the value in the Jog Pos. (Deg.) field to match the Position (Deg..) value

WELD Setup

The WELD setup is the middle tab in the SETUP menu and is shown in Figure 5-11. This screen contains the weld METHOD selection (Time, Rotation, Distance, and Energy), a button for entering Weld Parameters, and settings for several OPTIONS related to the weld phase (Orientation, Torque Trigger, and Constant Torque).

Weld Method Selection

One of the available modes must be selected to perform a weld. Regardless of the method, the weld is considered to start at different points, depending on the Torque Trigger option setting. If Torque Trigger is OFF, the weld starts at the Trigger Position defined in the PRE- WELD tab. If Torque Trigger is ON, the weld starts when the desired spin torque threshold is exceeded (see Torque Trigger Option below).

Time Method

In this method, the weld duration is controlled by time. After choosing this method, the Weld Parameters button is used to enter the weld settings shown in Figure 5-12. The Weld Time (s) entry specifies the weld duration in seconds. Below this entry, a minimum weld time value is displayed. This value corresponds to the time needed for decelerating (i.e., slowing down and stopping) the servo motors and is included as part of the total weld time. The VERT.. Speed (mm/s) sets the press weld speed in millimeters per second. The SPIN RPM specifies the spin tool speed, which is constant during the weld until the start of deceleration. The Dir. field specifies the spin direction. The DONE button causes a return to the main WELD tab screen.
