    RFI and EMI environments. The PM6 includes power input and output cables and connectors for easy installation with a Unitek Peco Welding Transformer. It is a multi- voltage unit designed for operation at 100, 115, 208, or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz. These models are supplied with a line cord, suitable connector, and a 30 amp combined circuit breaker/power switch.
  • Page 13: Process Definitions

    CHAPTER 1: DESCRIPTION Process Definitions Sequence Welding Function Sequence Welding Function is a term used by the industry to describe this basic welding function. Sequence Welding, illustrated in figure 1-1, provides the solution for the majority of resistance welding applications. This function is designed for air actuated weld heads but can also be used with manually actuated heads.
  • Page 14: Run State

    CHAPTER 1: DESCRIPTION Run State In this State, the PM6 is ready to make a weld. If it is not executing a weld schedule, it is waiting for either: The Footswitch to close (Air Actuated Weld Head); or b The Force Firing Switch to close (Manually Actuated Weld Head). The user can select, but not change, any weld schedule by using the Keys on the Front Panel.

  • Page 17 CHAPTER 1: DESCRIPTION %CURRENT - Indicates the percentage of the maximum current which will flow during each half-cycle of the Weld Period. %CURRENT can be set from 20 to 99% in 1% steps. Welding quality will improve if %CURRENT is set between 65% and 85%. HEAD TYPE - Indicates whether an Air or Manual Head is connected to the PM6.
  • Page 18: Rear Panel

    Footswitches are only used with air or electrically actuated weld heads. AIR VALVE DRIVER - Provides either 24 or 115 volts (AC) to Unitek Peco Air Actuated Weld Heads. Model VDAC24P (10-304-01) adapter is used to connect standard 115V plugs.
  • Page 19: Chapter 2: Getting Started

    CHAPTER 2 GETTING STARTED Section I. Planning for Installation Location Install the power supply in a well- ventilated area that is free from dirt and moisture. Allow sufficient clearance around the sides and rear of the unit so that cooling air may flow properly. Position the PM6 as close as practical to the weld head.
  • Page 20 CHAPTER 2: GETTING STARTED that the secondary loop does not encompass magnetic materials (steel) and/or is not encompassed by any magnetic material. See figure 2-2. Tape cables together to minimize the inductive losses. A separation of weld cables surrounding an area of one square foot could result in losses of up to 65% (figure 2-1). Note: Attach both welding cables on the same side of the weld head.
  • Page 21: Output Cable

    Firing Switch closure is required for the PM6 to fire. Firing Switch Unitek Peco weld heads and handpieces are force fired and have firing switch cables which can be connected directly to the mating FIRING SWITCH CABLE located on the rear panel of the PM6.
  • Page 22: Installing Air Actuated Weld Heads

    Air Actuated Weld Head connections Installing Air Actuated Weld Heads Solenoid valve/regulator assemblies which are separate from the weld head, such as the Unitek Peco Models 80, 81, 82, or 88, should be mounted at a convenient location on the bench.
  • Page 23: Air Valve Driver

    Air Head has been connected. Users of Air Actuated Weld Heads which are not manufactured by Unitek Peco should connect the air solenoid valve on the head, or regulator valve assembly, to the appropriate 24 volt or 115 volt pins of the valve driver receptacle on the rear of the PM6.
  • Page 24: Footswitch

    Footswitch Connect either a 1-Level or 2-Level Footswitch to the FOOTSWITCH receptacle located on the rear panel. The PM6 will automatically recognize which type Unitek Peco Footswitch has been connected. 1-Level Footswitch When the operator fully depresses the 1-Level Footswitch, the PM6 will energize the air valve on the weld head.
  • Page 25: Replace Cover

    CHAPTER 2: GETTING STARTED With a Manual Head, Footswitch Weld Abort will always be ON regardless of the position of the Jumper on the Input/Output Board. This means that if the operator releases the Footpedal during the welding sequence, the sequence will abruptly abort (terminate). It is necessary to remove the outside cover to change the Footswitch Weld Abort Option.

  • Page 46: Electrode Force And %Current

    CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Electrode Force and %CURRENT The heat of resistance welding is produced, in part, by the resistance of the interface between the work pieces to the flow of electricity (the contact resistance). Sufficient electrode force is required to contain the molten material produced during the weld. However, as the force is increased, the contact resistance decreases.
  • Page 47: Output Voltage Vs Weld Quality

    CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Since polarity can be an important consideration in half-cycle welding of some material combinations, be sure to check the weld schedule results using both positive and negative polarity. Polarity can be changed in the PROGRAM State. The general rule is that the more resistive material, or the thinner material, should be placed against the negative (-) electrode.

  • Page 56: Schedule Protection Feature

    Squeeze Time is meant to provide sufficient time for non- force fired weld heads to close and apply the required force to the workpiece. Since all Unitek Peco Weld Heads are "force fired," Squeeze Time should normally be set to 0. Occasionally Squeeze Time is used to provide time for the electrodes to (a) mechanically break through the oxides on the surface of the workpieces or (b) re- form the workpieces.
  • Page 57: Automatic Line Voltage Compensation

    APPENDIX A: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Weld Current Weld Current is measured as the percentage of the maximum current which could flow during each half- cycle of the Weld Period. The welding current is controlled by a Linear Current Control Circuit which proportions time so that heating effect is directly proportional to the square of the integral of the welding current.
