Weave Process Options
No Weave - when no weave is selected, the oscil-
•
lator does not move during the welding process.
The user can still manually steer the oscillator.
Step Travel - during step travel the travel speed
•
stops during the dwells. This allows the energy to
be directed to the side walls.
Continuous Travel - continuous travel will contin-
•
ue travelling throughout the weld process, as well
as during oscillation excursion and dwells. When
either step Travel or Continuous Travel is selected
as the weave value, additional Oscillation Settings
become available.
Oscillation Settings include the following:
Oscillation Method - Oscillation can be Physical
•
Oscillation where the oscillator physically moves
the torch or Magnetic Oscillation where the arc is
manipulated magnetically.
Oscillation Width - Determines the width of the
•
oscillation weave.
Oscillation Speed - The speed at which the torch
•
(or arc) moves during oscillation.
Left Dwell - How long the torch remains on the left
•
side of oscillation.
Right Dwell - How long the torch remains on the
•
right side of oscillation.
