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.
Option [3 Printer Headings: Full / Brief] is used as a toggle between two
different types of heading on each printout: Full or Brief.
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
where the ACL information is not necessary such as in weld procedure
development.
Option [4 List of Saved Procedures] provides a directory of the saved
weld procedures residing on the memory of the ACL. This provides a
quick reference to the user for finding an applicable weld procedure without
having to load and view each procedure, or having to print out each
individual procedure.
The first column is the procedure name. A procedure with a “/#” after it
indicates a revision. The revisions will show as “/A”, “/B”, and so on.
The second column consists of the four identification lines appearing at
the beginning of the weld procedure modification (MAIN MENU Option
5).
The third column shows the last date and time the weld procedure was
modified and saved.
Option [5 Calibrate Data] provides the Motor Calibration results of the latest
calibration sequence.
This result is either from initial Motor Calibration at ACL startup or by
choosing MAIN MENU Option 8 or by modifying the weld procedure to
perform a home pre-weld calibration update prior to each weld.
This printout gives all pertinent data of the last Motor Calibration, Motor
and Tachometer Gain Errors, as well as the last date and time of the
Motor Calibration.
Option [6 Scaled Procedure Print Enabled] provides a printout of the weld
procedure with updated scaled parameters for both the Current and Motor.
Choosing this option will toggle the cursor box around the word
“Enabled”, this will convert the scaled parameters to their scaled
values without changing the original values in memory. This can be
accomplished even without performing a weld, either in WELD or TEST
Mode.
While at the Weld Screen, adjust either the Current or Motor by scaling
either up or down. Press [PRINT MENU] on the HHC, select this option
to “Enable”, and then select Option [2]. This will give a printout of
the scaled parameters, while maintaining the integrity of the original
parameters.
This is useful when needing the see how apparent scale changes will
affect either current or motor speed without actually doing it.
Option [7 Print Strip Chart] will print out the resultant strip chart from the
alternate Strip Charting screen.
