The Move To button is used to rotate the tool to the value
displayed in the Position (Deg .) field. After pressing this
button, activate both RUN switches and wait for the
value in the Jog Pos. (Deg.) field to match the
Position
(Deg .) value
WELD Setup
The WELD setup is the middle tab in the SETUP menu
and is shown in Figure 5-11. This screen contains the
weld
METHOD selection ( Time, Rotation, Distance , and
Energy ), a button for entering Weld Parameters , and
settings for several OPTIONS related to the weld phase
( Orientation, Torque Trigger , and Constant Torque ).
Weld Method Selection
One of the available modes must be selected to perform
a weld. Regardless of the method, the weld is considered
to start at different points, depending on the
Torque
Trigger option setting. If Torque Trigger is OFF , the
weld starts at the Trigger Position defined in the PRE-
WELD tab. If T orque Trigger is ON , the weld starts
when the desired spin torque threshold is exceeded (see
Torque Trigger Option below).
Time Method
In this method, the weld duration is controlled by time.
After choosing this method, the
Weld Parameters
button is used to enter the weld settings shown in
Figure 5-12. The
Weld Time (s) entry specifies the weld
duration in seconds. Below this entry, a minimum weld
time value is displayed. This value corresponds to the
time needed for decelerating (i.e., slowing down and
stopping) the servo motors and is included as part of the
total weld time. The
VERT . Speed (mm/s) sets the press
weld speed in millimeters per second. The SPIN RPM
specifies the spin tool speed, which is constant during
the weld until the start of deceleration. The
Dir . field
specifies the spin direction. The DONE button causes a
return to the main WELD tab screen.
