WELD SETTINGS
The POWER MIG
®
360 allows the user to make adjustments
to the advanced weld parameters via the Weld Settings
screen.
Access the Weld Settings screen from the Home Screen by
pressing the right selector knob. The options available are
dependent on the weld process that has been selected. The
following section lists the weld settings that may available to
adjust.
Any settings that have deviated from the default setting will be
highlighted on the top left of the Home Screen.
ARC CONTROL- See Arc Control section below.
BURNBACK- Setting the Burnback means setting the
adjustable time delay between turning off the wire feeding
and turning off the arc. Burnback helps to prevent wire
sticking to the puddle.
CRATER- The crater is the end of the weld, which normally
solidifies creating a concave surface. This can result in
stresses that can cause cracks in the center of the crater.
The purpose of the Crater control is to fill up the crater, so that its
surface becomes flat.
FREQUENCY (PULSE TIG
VERTICAL UP PULSE)- Adjusts the frequency of the pulse
wave.
HOT START- Adjusts current at start of weld to help
prevent stubbing of the electrode.
POSTFLOW- The Postflow setting allows a time to be
selected for shielding gas to continue to flow after the
trigger is released and output current is turned off.

PREFLOW- The Preflow setting allows a time to be
selected for shielding gas to flow after the trigger is pulled
and prior to wire feeding and establishing an arc.
PULSE- Selecting this mode allows the user to toggle
between standard CV TIG welding, and Pulse TIG. See
section on Pulse TIG Mode.
RUN-IN- The Run-In function offers the ability to set a wire
feed speed, from trigger until an arc is established, that is
independent of the Welding or Start wire feed speed.
Setting a Run-In WFS lower than the welding WFS avoids stubbing
problems when starting the arc.
SAVE- Allows you to save the parameters you have input to
access later from the list of memories. See Loading
Memories section.
SPOT TIME- The Spot Timer adjusts arc on-time for spot or
tack welds.
START- This machine provides the option of setting a
Starting Procedure to start the weld, and from there, to
ramp to the welding procedure over a specified amount of
time. Typically starting on a higher starting procedure than the
welding procedure is known as a "Hot Start". Setting a starting
procedure lower than the welding procedure is known as a "Cold
Start".
THICKNESS- Adjusts the material thickness parameter
TRIGGER- Toggles between single and double trigger
mode. In single trigger mode, squeeze and release trigger
to start and stop welding. In double trigger mode, squeeze
and release trigger to start welding. Then squeeze and release
trigger to stop welding.
