Process Settings > Weld
Mode - Select Single Method .
Method 1 - Select Collapse Distance . This is the
distance the welder will advance once the programmed
trigger force is achieved. Usually the distance is the
height of the energy director, or shear joint of the part be-
ing welded.
Max Time
- Max Time is a secondary weld characteristic
offering a measure of safety. If the programmed parameter
is not achieved (as in the example shown in Figure 4-31)
within 2.000 seconds, the system will terminate the weld
process.
NOTE
If the energy director or shear joint
collapse value can not be determined,
See Figure 4-32, and use Time as the
initial basic setup.
