Intuitive, Easy-to-UseProgramming Current, Voltage and Power Feedback Modes:
Constant Voltage:
•Compensates for parts misplacement and forceproblems•Reduces weld splash
•ideal for round (non-flat) parts •Intuitive graphical user interface.•Dual pulse waveforms programmed in current,voltage,or power control modes.•Programming times to 100 Monitor current >
Constant Power:
•Varies current and voltage for consistent energy
•Breaks up surface oxides and plating
•Ideal for automation to extend electrode life µ sec incrementsprovides ultimate control.•Accurate,built-in monitor displays the graphical“trace”of weld current,voltage,power and
resistance,along with numerical peak and
average values.•Easy-to-set limits establish process windowfor acceptable quality.•User programmable relays can be used inconjunction with visual and audible signals foroperators and automation interface. Monitor current or voltage >
Constant Current:
•Delivers same current regardless of resistancechanges•Compensates for part thickness changes•Ideal for flat parts with consistent electrode topart fit-up Monitor voltage >
Effective Weld Monitoring and Process Tools
Pre-Weld FunctionActive Part Conditioner (APC)Weld Stop
Run Screen – Shows that 2nd Pulse was inhibited from firing. Run Screen – Constant power first pulse breaks through oxides. Run Screen – Shows termination of weld current during weld pulse. Monitor Screen – Shows 1st Pulse weld voltage exceeded limit. Monitor Screen – First pulse time automatically compensatesfor varying levels of oxides. Monitor Screen – Shows weld voltage exceeding limit. Sends an initial short,low energy pulse throughthe assembly,tests key electrical parametersagainst pre-set limits,and inhibits operation if
limits are exceeded. First pulse adapts weld time to displace oxidesthen terminates allowing a secondpulse withupslope to complete the weld,thus avoiding
weld splash. >
