longer than the total Level Time, if a longer time is entered, the program will
automatically adjust the entry to match that of the total Level Time.
2.15.2 Low Current
This is the constant current value of this Level if there is no Current Slope
Time or no pulsing. If sloping exists, then this value is the final Low Pulse
Current value for this Level at the end of the Current Slope Time. If there is
current pulsing, then this is the High Pulse Current value of the Level. Valid
values are from 0.00 to 200.00 amps.
2.15.3 Low Motor Speed
This is the constant value of the motor speed in this Level if there is no
Motor Slope Time or no Step-Pulsing. If sloping exists, then this value is
the final Low Motor Speed value for this Level at the end of the Motor
Slope Time. If there is Motor Step-Pulsing, then this is the value associated
with the Low Pulse value of the current. Valid values are from 0.00 to
10.00 rpm.
Once the Weld Level data has been entered and/or modified, the ACL
program will automatically move to the next subsequent Level. Upon
reaching Level 99, the program will advance to the Final Slope Level. If
there are only five Levels in the weld procedure, the Final Slope Level can be
obtained by moving the cursor box to the Weld Level Number, and pressing
[FINAL SLOPE/HOME]. This will show the Final Slope Information Screen.
2.16 Procedure Final Slope Information Screen
The Final Slope Level is considered part of the weld procedure, but it does
not perform any welding. The function of the Final Slope Level is to
slope the welding current and travel speed in order to eliminate detrimental
effects produced by the heat of the welding arc, and to leave a weld bead
which is visually more appealing to inspectors and other first line inspection
personnel.
Using the cursor buttons on the HHC [PAGE UP], [PAGE DOWN],
[éSYMBOLS], [CASEê], [ç], and [è], or the arrow keys on the computer
keyboard [ç, è, é, ê] or [ENTER] on either, the operator can move the
highlighted cursor box to enter and/or modify each and every procedure
parameter, such as Level Time, Current Slope and Motor Slope, as well as
Pulse Times, Current and Motor Speeds for both High and Low values.
2.16.1 Level Time
This is the total length of time for the Level. Valid values are from 0.00 to
300.00 seconds. If 0.00 is entered, no other values will be allowed and the
Level will be deleted when exiting the modification option.
2.16.2 Current Slope
This is the time the Current will take to slope from the current in the last
Weld Level to the current value in this Level. Valid values are from 0.00 to
300.00 seconds. The Current Slope time cannot be longer than the total
Level Time, if a longer time is entered, the program will automatically adjust
the entry to match that of the total Level Time.
2.16.3 Motor Slope
This is the time the Motor will take to slope from the speed in the last Weld
Level to the Motor Speed value in this Level. Valid values are from 0.00
to 300.00 seconds. The Motor Slope time cannot be longer than the total
Level Time, if a longer time is entered, the program will automatically adjust
the entry to match that of the total Level Time.
2.16.4 High Pulse Time
This time specifies the length of time each high pulse value in this Level.
Valid values are from 0.00 to 9.99 seconds. If 0.00 seconds is entered, the
Low Pulse values will not be available and this Level will not pulse. The
High Pulse time cannot be longer than the total Level Time, if a longer time
