Section 6 - Machine Operation

Since the welder press force is limited in jog mode for safety purposes, the machine will disable the servos and report an error (Fault: Jog thrust limit exceeded OR Vertical servo runaway detected.) if the press is jogged down too far. If this condition occurs, the welder must be re-initialized by returning to the RUN screen, pressing RESET FAULT button, and repeating welder initialization (Step 8).

10.Set Vertical Travel Lower Limit Position

To protect tooling, set the vertical press travel limit using the following steps :

1.Navigate to TOOLS > SYSTEM SETUP tab and press the VERTICAL TRAVEL LOWER LIMIT button.

2.Press the Initialize button and wait 1 minute.

3.Press the DOWN button, then activate both RUN SWITCHES to move the head down to the posi- tion where the lower limit proximity switch should be activated (at least 4 mm [.15 in.] above tooling contact, if possible, since the physical hard stop is lower than the switch position by this distance). To change speed, select a different setting in the VERT.. Jog Speed box.

4.Press the Set Position button, and wait until a flashing red circle appears next to the DOWN button.

5.Press DONE.

11. Set Weld Process Parameters

Select the desired setup number (1 through 8; setup 1 is default) from the TOOLS > SELECT SETUP tab menu. Input the desired weld process settings in the PRE- WELD, WELD, and POST-WELD tabs in the SETUP menu as described in Chapter 5.
