At the beginning of each weld assign-
ment you will be asked to use the joint
calibration tool to establish setpoints
on the workpiece joint. Setpoints are
necessary for the training system
cameras to learn the precise location
of the joint. Establish setpoints as fol-
lows:
• Tack weld the weld coupons in the
configurations specified in the weld
assignment.
• Clamp the workpiece to the work
table.
• Place the tip of the joint calibration
tool at the beginning of the weld
joint. Press down on the tool until
the internal spring is fully com-
1
pressed. Be careful not to cover
joint calibration tool markers. Hold
tool in position for one second or
until audio/visual confirmation is re-
ceived.
• Establish the ending setpoint by re-
peating procedure at other end of
the weld joint.
.
If the workpiece is moved, it will be
necessary to recalibrate the joint.
.
Calibrate both ends of joint. The
order of joint calibration (left to
right or right to left) does not
matter.
.
For multi-pass welds, the interface
will direct you to calibrate the joint
for each pass.
