This feature allows the operator to make an adjustment for
the weight of the tool and table. The adjustment is called
the offset.
System Force - The
force of the hydraulic
system at any given
moment is System
Force. During Tool
Weight Compensation,
the pressure begins at
idle pressure. It builds
until enough force is
available to move the
table and the lower
tool.

A message is displayed when Auto-
Ping reaches the maximum preset cycle
range. Once acknowledged, the ma-
chine resumes pinging.
NOTE
Why use Auto-Ping?
Under certain conditions, the temperature
of parts may vary over time resulting in
changes to the resonant frequency of the
tool. With auto-ping the welder automati-
cally compensates for these changes by
periodically measuring the resonant fre-
quency. Auto-ping resets the welder running
frequency to match the current resonant
frequency of the upper fixture parts.
Benefits: welder parts run cooler, and there
is reduced energy use. This results in
lower stresses to welder parts and extends
equipment life.
