Description
seamdata is used to control the start and
end of the weld. seamdata is also used if the
process is restarted after a welding operation
has been interrupted.
The time (in seconds) during which the pro-
cess is stopped, allowing the weld to cool
before other end activities such as crater fill
and burn back take place.
The crater-filling time (in seconds) at the end
phase of the weld.
The time (in seconds) for purging with protect-
ive gas after the end of the process.
The time (in seconds) during which the weld
electrode is rolled back when electrode
feeding has stopped.
• Not selected – Select weld parameters
during the end phase manually.
• Selected – Use the parameters from
the Weld tab. This is the default mode.
Weld list number defines the shape and
characteristics of the weld using eight active
slots for selection of various processes, wire
type, and parameters. The characteristics of
a weld list number generally implement the
process: GMAW, SMAW, SAW, GTAW,
FCAW, etc. Also known as a schedule. For
more details about the particulars of each
weld list number, see the front panel of the
welder.
Term used to represent wire feed speed. In
MIG mode, wire feed setting is independent
of voltage setting. In pulse and Accu-pulse,
adjusting wire feed also increases power
level of wire electrode (one knob control).
Voltage sets the voltage reference for the
weld.
In short circuit GMAW welding, an increase
in inductance will decrease the number of
short circuit transfers per second (provided
no other changes are made) and increase
arc-on time. The increased arc-on time makes
the welding puddle more fluid.
Refers to the shape of the volt-amp curve.
Varying the amount of slope in the welding
circuit will change the amount of short-circuit
current and rate of response from the power
source.
Distance from end of wire electrode to weld
pool.
Term used to represent arc length adjust-
ments in pulse programs. Increasing Arc
Adjust increases the actual arc length.
Likewise, decreasing Arc Adjust shortens
arc length. Arc Adjust is replaced by volts
in MIG programs.
