Field Description
End Delay This is the amount of delay used at the end of this weld. The End Delay is an
option set in the Weld Profile and is the amount of time (in seconds) directly
before the end of a weld that CheckPoint™ stops applying the limits entered for
the Weld Profile. This option is necessary because, at the end of a weld, the set
points for the Welding Power Source are often different than the rest of the weld
(e.g., if the Power Wave® is in a burn-back state). For more in-depth details on
End Delay, please refer to the Power Wave® Manager User Manual.
Wire Density The Wire Density field in CheckPoint™ displays the density of the metal used for
this individual weld.
The person who adds the consumable to the Power Wave® uses the Power
Wave® Manager software to tell the Welding Power Source how much and what
type of wire was loaded. They select the density here as well. The system uses
the wire density in its calculation of the how much material was deposited for this
weld.
Wire Diameter The Wire Diameter field in CheckPoint™ displays the diameter of the wire used for
this individual weld.
The person who adds the consumable to the Power Wave® uses the Power
Wave® Manager software to tell the Welding Power Source how much and what
type of wire was loaded. They enter the wire’s diameter here as well. The system
uses the wire diameter in its calculation of how much material was deposited for
this weld.
Deposited Weight The Deposited Weight is a calculation CheckPoint™ performs for the individual
weld. Based on the metal density and diameter of the wire in the Welding Power
Source at the time of the weld, the system calculates the amount of wire (pounds
or kilograms) that was deposited during this weld.
Deposition Rate The Deposition Rate shows how much material was deposited during the weld,
normalized to pounds per hour.
WeldScore™ Status Weld Engineers can set each Weld Profile with a minimum WeldScore™ value that
is considered acceptable. The WeldScore™ Status field displays whether this weld
was above that score (within limits) or below that score (out of limits).
WeldScore™ The WeldScore column displays the average score for this weld. Every quarter of
a second, the Welding Power Source compares the performance of the weld
against the trained weld for the Weld Profile being used. When the weld is
complete, the power source averages those measurements together for an
average WeldScore™ value. For more details on WeldScore™, please refer to the
Power Wave® Manager User Manual.
Current Status Weld Engineers can set each Weld Profile with a minimum and a maximum arc
current value that is considered acceptable. The Current Status field displays
whether this weld was within those limits or out of limits.
Current Minimum The Current Minimum field displays the lowest arc current measurement taken by
