Hold
Static Hold Method
If Time has been enabled in the Static Hold Method, the
actuator motion will stop at the end of the weld cycle for
the programmed interval (Hold Dwell Time). When the
interval is ended, the actuator motion changes so that it
goes upward and travels to the Home position.
This unique feature allows for superior consistency on
overall part height. This is unlike a pneumatic press that
continues to compress the part during the hold phase.
In addition, Static Hold can contribute to stronger weld
bonds. See Figure 4-21 below.
