PULSE |
|
|
| DESCRIPTION |
|
FREQUENCY: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| For Pulse modes, Arc Control |
| ||
(High)+10.0 |
|
| changes the pulsing frequency. |
| |
|
|
| When the frequency changes, |
| |
|
|
| the Power Wave system auto- |
| |
|
|
| matically adjusts the back- |
| |
|
|
| ground current to maintain a |
| |
|
|
| similar heat input into the weld. |
| |
|
|
| Low frequencies give more con- |
| |
|
|
| trol over the puddle and high |
| |
|
|
| frequencies minimize spatter. |

PREFLOW TIME |
|
|
| DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0 - 25.0 seconds |
|
|
| Adjusts the time the gas flows |
|
|
|
|
| after the trigger is pulled and |
|
|
|
|
| prior to feeding wire. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Off, 30 to150 in/min. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| speed from the time the trigger |
|
|
|
|
| is pulled until an arc is estab- |
|
|
|
|
| lished. |
|
Start Procedure |
|
|
| The Start Procedure controls |
|
|
|
|
| the WFS. Trim at a specified |
|
|
|
|
| time at the beginning of the |
|
|
|
|
| weld. During the start time, the |
|
|
|
|
| machine will ramp up or down |
|
|
|
|
| from the Start Procedure to the |
|
|
|
|
| preset Welding Procedure. |

| FUNCTION |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Postflow Time: |
|
| Adjusts the time that shielding |
|
| 0 to 25.0 seconds |
|
| gas flows after the welding out- |
|
|
|
|
| put turns off. |
|
| Burnback: 0 to .25 |
|
| The burnback time is the |
|
|
|
|
| ||
| Seconds |
|
| amount of time that the weld |
|
|
|
|
| output continues after the wire |
|
|
|
|
| stops feeding. It prevents the |
|
|
|
|
| wire from sticking in the puddle |
|
|
|
|
| and prepares the end of the |
|
|
|
|
| wire for the next arc start. |
|
| Crater Procedure |
|
| Crater Procedure controls the |
|
|
|
|
| WFS and volts for a specified |
|
|
|
|
| time at the end of the weld |
|
|
|
|
| after the trigger is released. |
|
|
|
|
| During the Crater time, the |
|
|
|
|
| machine will ramp up or down |
|
|
|
|
| from the Weld Procedure to |
|
|
|
|
| the Crater Procedure. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Spot Timer: |
|
| Adjusts the time welding will |
|
| 0 to 120.0 Seconds |
|
| continue even if tigger is still |
|
|
|
|
| pulled. This option has no |
|
