Part Pickup Option

This button enables the Part Pickup option, which is programmed through the screen shown in Figure 5-

9.This option is used in conjunction with automated part feed systems where it is desirable to place the parts to be joined on top of each other in the lower fixture.

In this mode, the head travels down to “pick up” the upper part with the tool (without spinning), goes up slightly, and then completes the weld cycle. To enable this option, toggle the Enable button to On and set the pickup position in the Position (mm) field by direct entry or through the Teach Position button. Optionally, the Thrust Sense option can be enabled, in which the head will first travel to the Position (mm) distance, then continue to travel until the vertical actuator thrust (i.e. force) exceeds the value set in the Thrust (%) field. The Timeout (s) field sets a time limit between the arrival at the Position (mm) distance and the point of reaching the thrust sensing level.

Pre-Spin Orientation Option

This button enables the Pre-Spin Orientation option, which is programmed through the screen shown in Figure 5-10. This option is used in conjunction with the Part Pickup option in applications where, before welding, the parts are placed on top of the other and the initial (pre-spin) angular orientation is different than the welded orientation. To enable this option, toggle the Enable button to On. The Pre-Spin Orientation can be entered directly in the Pre-Spinfield. Alternatively, this orientation can be “taught” by first pressing the JOG

+ or JOG – buttons (depending on desired direction

of rotation) and selecting the jogging speed from the

SPIN Jog Speed (Low, Medium, or High) field, then

activating both RUN switches to rotate the spin tool to

the desired orientation, and pressing the Transfer button

to assign the current jog position (displayed in the

Transfer Button F

The transfer icon should only be used when visually aligning the pre–spin orientation.. The value displayed in the Jog (Deg.) cell has to be transferred to the Pre-Spindata field.

Jog Pos.. (Deg..) field) as the Pre-Spin Orientation. To

aid in setting the orientation, the head can be moved by

pressing the DOWN or UP buttons and activating the

RUN switches.

You must select the

mode to test any of the

 

setups.. Both RUN

switches

must then be activated simultaneously..
