For example: If the rotor speed value for the current level is 5 rpm, and
the [ç] is pressed five times to decrease the rotor speed five percent
(5%), then the actual rotor speed value at the tube surface will be:
5 - 5%(5) = 4.75 rpm
5 - 0.25 = 4.75 rpm
If any these keys are held down continuously, the percentage value will
climb, or fall, as long as the key is held.
Each procedure has a Maximum Scale Change Limit that was
programmed when the procedure was developed (see MODIFYING WELD
PROCEDURES. The procedure will not let you exceed that Scale Limit while
in the ‘Production Mode’.
At the Weld screen, pressing the [Ctrl + L] key will zero all the Scale factors
applied to the procedure, so the procedure runs as programmed.
4.6 Cursor Keys
These four keys will help move through the procedure during editing/
modifying of procedures.
When editing a weld procedure in the [5 Modify Procedure ———] option, the
[Page Up] and [Page Down] keys will move the cursor to the next section of
values to be entered or edited. These keys will also scroll through the editing
screens forward or backward, except when editing text entries.
While editing a weld procedure, the cursor keys [ç, è, é and ê], will move
the cursor to the next available field for data entry or edit.
5. Print Menu Operations
To access the printing function of the ACL Orbital Tube Welding System, be
certain to have the factory supplied Dot Matrix 9-Pin printer connected to the
ACL, and simply press the [PRINT MENU] button on the HHC or the “P” on
the keyboard. This will shift the PRINT MENU on the screen to the front of
the others and allow full viewing of all options and functions.
Those options in green are active and fully functional. Those option numbers
which are red are either not available from the factory, or are not yet active
while still within the welding program. All printouts can be found in the
APPENDIX.
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. Of the ten options
in the PRINT MENU, only eight have active choices. Even then, 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:
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.
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
