Table 8.1 Data Points on the Status Widget
Field Description
Time Since Last Weld
or Arc Time The first data point on the status widget displays depending on if the Welding
Power Source is currently welding.
ƒ Time Since Last Weld: If the Welding Power Source is either Idle or
Faulted, the text is Time Since Last Weld. This is the amount of time
since the most recent weld was performed by the Welding Power
Source, based on the start time of the weld.
ƒ Arc Time: If the Welding Power Source is currently performing a weld
(i.e., Status = Welding), the text displayed is Arc Time. This is amount
of time the Welding Power Source has currently been welding. Some
welds take several minutes or even hours to complete. The Arc Time
tells you how long the welder has been actively welding the current
weld.
Welds (24 hrs) This displays the total number of individual welds performed by the Welding
Power Source over the last 24 hours from the current time.
Arc Time (24 hrs) This displays the total number of hours that the Welding Power Source spent
welding over the last 24 hours from the current time.
Wire Remaining This displays the amount of wire (in pounds or kilograms) remaining in the
current wire package for the Welding Power Source. Refer to the Power
Wave® Manager User Manual for setting up wire package information.
Availability (Last 24 Hours)
The Availability (Last 24 Hours) graph is mainly for use with Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), and it
shows you visually the amount of time the selected Welding Power Source has been available for welding
(or not available) over the last 24 hours, including any Planned Downtimes and Unplanned Downtimes.
Based on this information, CheckPoint™ can accurately calculate your OEE. OEE is a method for analyzing
your plant’s productivity data with the intent of helping you improve the processes at your plant. Even if
you aren’t using OEE, the Availability graph can still provide you with useful information on the times the
Welding Power Source spent in the Welding, Idle, Faulted (i.e., Unplanned Downtime) or Disconnected
states.
