SETUP Menu

The SETUP menu is sub-divided into three tabs:

PRE-WELD,WELD, and POST-WELD that are described below. Immediately after pressing the SETUP button, the Security Code screen will appear, prompting for a numerical password. If no password has been set, press the ENTER key.

PRE-WELD Setup

The PRE-WELDscreen, containing a number of settings and options described below, is shown in Figure 5-4.

TOOL Setup

This button is used to specify parameters related to the toolingassembledtotheweldershowninFigure5-5.Enter the spin tool inertia in the TOOL Inertia (kg*cm^2) field and the weight in the TOOL Weight (kg) field. Pressing the numerical value cell displays a data entry screen shown in Figure 5-6. That also displays the minimum and maximum values allowed. The SPIN Deceleration

(%)field specifies the spin motor deceleration as a percentage of motor maximum. This value can exceed

100% when welding parts because friction in the weld joint assists the spin motor in stopping.

The Vac.. Sense and Part Present buttons at the bottom allow the vacuum sensing and part presence options to be enabled or disabled. With either option enabled, an appropriate external input must be provided. For example, if the Part Present option is enabled, a part present signal must be activated before a weld cycle is allowed to initiate. A “frowning” face will be displayed on the RUN screen if this signal is not active.

Press the DONE button to return to the PRE-WELDsetup screen.
