If any these buttons are held down continuously, the percentage value will
climb, or fall, as long as the button is held. Each procedure has a Maximum
Scale Change Limit that was programmed when the procedure was
developed. The program will not let you exceed that Scale Limit while in the
‘Production Mode’.
At the Weld screen, pressing the [CLEAR] key will zero all the Scale
factors applied to the procedure, so the procedure runs as programmed.
5. Print Menu Operations
To access the printing function of the ACL Orbital Tube Welding System, be
certain to have the factory supplied USB printer connected to the ACL, and
from the MAIN SCREEN, select File/Print and desired printout (See Section
G, pages 39 and 48).
Those options which are grayed out are not yet active until the information
becomes available.
Select File/Print Setup...to change any of the printing parameters to
customize your print out to your liking.
To accomplish this on the HHC, press the [PRINT MENU] button on the HHC
or the “P” on the keyboard for the PRINT MENU on the HHC screen.
In order to utilize any one of the options shown on this menu, use either the
HHC number buttons or the number keys on the keyboard. If certain steps
are not taken prior to reaching this screen, some of the eight may not yet be
active. This will be discussed in the following:
5.1 Option [1 Procedure + (Weld) Data] will print out the weld procedure
with full heading, which currently loaded and active. The name of this
procedure will appear after the word “Procedure” in the title of this option.
The full heading is useful for documenting production welds and can
be utilized as a quality control document. The information contained
as part of the form above the parameters of the weld procedure listing
contains most of the data necessary to properly track and document a
weld for future analysis, job costing, and quality assessment.
5.2 Option [2 Procedure] provides the same stored weld procedure
parameter data as the first option, [1 Procedure & Weld Data], but does not
include the printing which provides operator input for weld information. The
name of this procedure will appear after the word “Procedure” in the title of
this option.
This printout is useful for situations that are not linked to production
welding where quality control is accountable. This would include
situations where a quick printout is necessary to inspect the weld
procedure parameters verification prior to performing a series of welds.
Another application may be during weld procedure development or
modification.
5.3 Option [3 Headings(: Full / Brief)] is used as a toggle between two
different types of heading on each printout: Full or Brief. Choosing this
option will toggle the “Brief heading” check mark in File/Print Setup…
dialog accessible on the MAIN SCREEN where there are many more
customization options.
The Full heading provides information such as the ACL’s identity: name,
model number and serial number. This is especially useful in multi-
machine job situations where it is important to track the welds not only
by part serial number but also by which machine has performed the
weld.
The Brief heading shows only the title of the printout without any of
the ACL identification. This print out heading is useful for situation
