4. Pre-Flow: Sets the shielding gas pre-flow time. If enabled, the
gas will come on for the specified length of time
before the wire will start to feed. This will add cycle
time at the Arc Start. There is a purge output, which
can be turned on in the robot job file that does not
add this extra time.
5. Retract: This function retracts the wire at the end of the weld.
A time in seconds and a WFS must be specified.
Typical settings are 100 ipm and 0.3 seconds. This
helps create separation between the wire and weld
puddle for large fillets.
6. Start Power: This function is used to modify the default start
sequence. When enabled, the specified Volts/Arc
Adjust and WFS parameters are used for the time
indicated during the start of the weld, then changed
to those in the Job program. When the Ramp function
is disabled, the WFS and Volts/Arc Adjust remain
constant during the Start Power time. When Enabled,
the WFS and Volts/Arc Adjust begin at the specified
values and time, then ramp up to the Job values over
the time set in the ramp box. Robot motion starts
once the arc is initiated unless timers are inserted.
7. Post-Flow: Continues the gas flow for the set amount of time
after the arc ending sequence.
8. Crater Fill: If a crater fill is desired at the end of the weld, enable
the function and set a time, Volts/Arc Adjust and
WFS. The Ramp function will slope the WFS and
Volts/Arc. Adjust up or down to the crater fill
parameters over the time specified. Use the Hyper
Start function to set Welder Control if the robot is to
wait for the welder crater fill.
9. Save: This button must be pushed to activate and
save any changes. If the screen is left without
saving, the changes will be lost. Save Disabled
indicates the operator does not have rights to
make changes to the screen.
