Trigger By
Choose from two trigger methods:
Trigger by Zero Motion – This position is variable and
determined using a set of unwelded parts. Vibration is
triggered when the lift table stops movement, indicating
that the parts are clamped.
This trigger method is advised when parts are inconsistent
in height or warped such that the welder is used to "flatten"
the parts into shape prior to welding.
When "Trigger by Zero Motion" is chosen, a user will also
set a table slowdown position. This ensures that the welder
will not crush unwelded parts by collapsing them at
full speed. A pop-up window appears as is seen in
Figure 6-23 below. This aids in setting up the table
slowdown position.
The real time position of the table appears in the Table
Position box.
1. Place a set of unwelded parts in the tool.
2. Close the tool manually until desired table position is
reached.
3. Press the Set Table Slowdown button to set the
position.
4. A message is displayed confirming table shutdown has
been set.
Trigger by Position - Vibration begins when a programmed
table height is reached.
This trigger method is advised when parts are fragile and /
or are very consistent in height.
This trigger method automatically sets the table slowdown
position to 2" (50mm) before the programmed trigger
position.
Program the desired position in the Table Position entry
box.
