Weld Data Settings; Start And Stop Data - ESAB PUA 1 Manual

Weld Data Settings

The following is a summary of the welding parameters that affect the welding
process when using MIG welding methods.
With the power source in synergic mode it is only necessary to set the wire feed
speed.
The voltage parameter may also be adjusted if required.
When the wire feed speed is adjusted, the synergic control system automatically
adjusts certain other parameters to compensate. The parameters in italics remain
constant and are unaffected by changes in the wire feed speed.

A table of parameter setting ranges is given in the APPENDIX under section 10.

Start and stop data

The following settings affect the start and stop cycles for MIG welding.
Under the respective headings, are all settings that affect the start cycle and welding
stop.
Start settings
Gas pre--flow
S
Creep start
S
Hot start
S
Hot start time
S
Increase wire feed speed
S
(2 m/min unless otherwise
stated)
Increase voltage (only
S
when not in synergetic
mode)
There are three different functions that are designed to meet special requirements at
the start and end of the welding. These functions and auxiliary settings are made in
the start data menu and stop data menu.
