Dual Servo Spin Welder User's Manual
Energy Method
In this method, weld duration is controlled by the
amount of energy input into the weld joint as determined
by the spin torque and angular rotation. The welder will
maintain a constant spin speed until the programmed
energy is produced. Then the tool will decelerate and
stop. The

settings shown in Figure 5-16.
specifies the weld energy in Joules. As a safety measure,
using the Energy Method requires that the Weld Time
Process Limit be enabled (To set this limit, refer to the
Process Limits description in the POST-WELD menu
later in this manual.). If the Upper Weld Time Limit is
exceeded during the weld, the machine will stop the
cycle and report an error. The

WELD OPTIONS
Several weld options are available, any combination of
which may be enabled simultaneously.
Orientation Option
With this option you can specify the upper tool's angular
stopping orientation at the end of the weld. To enable it,
press the button and then the
