b-17 2 STEP TRIGGER OPERATION (See Figure B.4) Sometimes it is advantageous to set specific arc start, crater and arc ending parameters for the ideal weld. Many times when welding aluminum crater control is necessary to make a good weld. This is done by set- ting Start, Crater and Burnback functions to desired values.
Page 41
Start and less heat desired during Crater. With 4 step trigger, the welder chooses the amount of time to weld at the Start, Weld and Crater settings by using the gun trigger. Burnback reduces the likelihood of wire to sticking in the weld pool at the end of a weld and also prepares the end of the wire for the next arc start.
b-19 PROCESS SETUP AND OPERATION The Power Feed ™ /Power Wave ® system delivers world class arc performance for a wide variety of processes. Using the foundation of Waveform Control Technology™, each weld mode is precisely tuned to meet exacting standards for low spatter, weld bead profile and arc shape.
b-20 STEEL AND STAINLESS SYNERGIC GMAW-P (PULSED MIG) WELDING Synergic GMAW-P (Pulsed MIG) welding is ideal for low spatter, out of position and reduced heat input applica- tions. During pulse welding, the welding current continuously switches from a low level to a high level and then back again.
b-21 ALUMINUM SYNERGIC GMAW-P (PULSED MIG)AND GMAW-PP (PULSE ON PULSE) WELDING The Power Feed™ 10M Single Wire Feeder and Power Wave welding power source combine to readily produce top quality aluminum welds with excellent appearance, little spatter and good bead shape. Push- pull guns are available for consistent feeding when welding a long distance away from the wire feeder.
