WELDING MODES
The K-BUG 1200 offers three weld modes - Continuous, Total Length Intermittent and User Defined
Intermittent. The value shown in the speed display will vary based on what welding mode the machine
is operating in. Speed is displayed only during Continuous welding.
1. Continuous Welding
• No LED’s lit when Cycle Start button is pressed
• Displays speed while welding (0.1 in/min)
2. User Defined Intermittent Welding
• A or B LED lit when Cycle Start button is pressed
• User sets Welding Speed before pressing Cycle Start button
• Display will countdown each program parameter in order
- With A LED lit, the display will countdown Puddle Build-up timer, u, then Weld On
distance, A, then Crater Fill timer, n.
- With B LED lit, the display will countdown Weld Off distance, B
NOTE: Machine travels at higher speed during Non-Welding travel
• The intermittent cycle will repeat until the user presses Cycle Stop button or the Stop Sensor is
tripped
3. Total Length Intermittent Welding
• C LED lit when Cycle Start button is pressed
• User sets Welding Speed before pressing Cycle Start button
• Display will countdown total distance remaining (1.0)
• A or B LED will light as appropriate for welding mode
NOTE: Machine travels at higher speed during Non-Welding travel
• The intermittent cycle will continue until the Total Length is satisfied or the Stop Sensor is tripped
INTERMITTENT WELDING
The Travel Speed Adjustment Knob is used for entering the parameters for intermittent or stitch welding.
Follow the steps below to enter the welding parameters.
1. Press the Travel Speed Adjustment Knob. The A LED will illuminate.
2. Turn the Travel Speed Adjustment Knob (clockwise + / counterclockwise -) to set the WELD
LENGTH. The length adjusts.*
3. Press the Travel Speed Adjustment Knob again. The B LED will illuminate.
4. Turn the Travel Speed Adjustment Knob to set the NON-WELD LENGTH. The length adjusts.*
5. Press the Travel Speed Adjustment Knob again. The C LED will illuminate.
6. Turn the Travel Speed Adjustment Knob to set the TOTAL LENGTH. The length adjusts.*
7. Press the travel Speed Adjustment Knob again. All LEDs are unlit.
*Note: measurement is in inches or cm. according to your unit setting - refer to Converting Units on p.9.
Intermittent Welding is available in two forms - User Defined and Total Length. With User Defined
welding, user enters values for Weld Length and Non-Weld Length. Either A or B LED must be lit when
pressing Cycle Start Button. Intermittent Weld continues until user presses Cycle Stop Button.
For Total Length welding, user enters values for all three stitch parameters. C LED must be lit when
pressing Cycle Start Button. Intermittent welding ends when Total Length has been met.
CONTINUOUS WELDING (INTERMITTENT WELDING LOCK-OUT)
To lock out the intermittent (stitch) welding controls, press and hold the Travel Speed Adjustment knob
for three (3) seconds. All of the LEDs will flash. To unlock the intermittent welding controls, press and
hold the Travel Speed Adjustment Knob for three (3) seconds. While in lockout, the machine will be
unable to perform intermittent welding.
