CHAPTER 2: ABOUT YOUR EQUIPMENT
Constant Voltage:
Constant Power:
Welding Schedules. You can program a welding schedule for up to seven welds.
Alternatively, you can program a start on four only of the seven welding schedules. The welding
schedules control:
Welding heat characteristics
Weld piece cooling time
Control mode selection
Parameter monitoring limits
Welding transformer selection (217 Power Supply only)
Welding Monitors. Built-in performance monitors generate alarm conditions when
preset current, voltage, or power limits are exceed during a weld cycle.
Welding Parameters. Two separate weld current rise and weld periods offer flexible
weld control for multiple applications.
Weld Data Storage. Welcard, a compact data storage unit, collects weld schedule
details. You can recall weld schedules from the Welcard to re-program the Power Supply.
Automation Capability. A signal I/O connector on the rear panel allows integration
with automated production equipment.
Multiple Welding Transformer Selection. The Power Supply has simultaneous
squeeze capability and four channels of transformer selection. With these features, the Power
Supply can be used with an optionally available MA-600A Welding Transformer Selector (see
Figure 2-2) to select up to four different welding transformers to implement sequential welding.
Equipment Description
The Power Supply is delivered fully assembled, together with a shipping kit containing parts that
you will need to install, operate and maintain it. The parts included in the shipping kit are as
follows:
Power Cable
Output (Welding Transformer) Cable
IP-215A/IP-217A FINE SPOT WELDING POWER SUPPLIES
2-2
Use where the electrodes have
relatively high resistance, such as
tungsten electrodes.
Use for cross wire welding and the welding of materials
that are sensitive to heat variation.
