press ENTER.
Select ON using the
positioning knob and
press ENTER.
In order to weld with two welding heads, the WELD HEAD OFFSET function must be
set.
WELD HEAD OFFSET is the distance in millimetres between the welding heads.
When you specify the distance between welding head 1 HEAD and welding head 2
TAIL, the value is recalculated by the control unit to a time between when welding
head 1 starts and welding head 2 is to start.
The time that the control unit can calculate for the distance between the starting and
stopping of the welding power sources is a maximum of 65 seconds. This means
that if, for example, 50 cm/min is specified, 540 mm can be entered as the maximum
WELD HEAD OFFSET. This is so that time does not expire before welding head 2
reaches the start point.
WELD HEAD OFFSET
NOTE!
Ensure that both control units have the same settings for WELD HEAD OFFSET and
specify the same travel speed. The "Master" control unit must be allocated HEAD
and the "Slave" control unit TAIL. Travel motion is always controlled from "Master".
