Profile Graphs

The

PROFILE GRAPHS

tab, shown in Figure 8-2,

contains numerical and graphical representations of the
following weld parameter profiles with respect to time
for the last cycle:
1. Spin Position (rev.)
2. Torque (% of max.) - spin motor torque
3. Vertical Distance (mm)
4. Thrust (% of max.) - vertical actuator thrust
5. Vertical Speed (mm/s)

This data is exported by the welder after each cycle if
the Graph Export option in the System Setup screen is
enabled (see Figure 5-32). It can also be exported on
demand by pressing the

EXPORT LAST WELD GRAPH

DATA

button in the Utilities screen (see Figure 5-30).

Plot Data

The profile data is displayed in this box with comma-
separated values. The first line is a header row,
containing the following parameters: total number of
samples, sampling rate prior to trigger (ms), sampling
rate during weld (ms), sample number at which weld
started, torque trigger setting (% of max. / 10).

Plot

The plot shows all the profile curves (vertical axis)
with respect to time (horizontal axis) in milliseconds.
The icons immediately above the plot contain tools
for a more detailed examination of the plot. Both the
horizontal and vertical scale end values can be changed
by double-clicking on the desired number and entering
a new value.
