Description Parameter
The speed of the TCP of the welding torch during the weld instruc-
tion. Weld Speed
Weld list number defines the shape and characteristics of the weld
using eight active slots for selection of various processes, wire type,
and parameters. The characteristics of a weld list number generally
implement the process: GMAW, SMAW, SAW, GTAW, FCAW, etc.
Also known as a schedule. For more details about the particulars
of each weld list number, see the front panel of the welder. Weld List No
Term used to represent wire feed speed. In MIG mode, wire feed
setting is independent of voltage setting. In pulse and Accu-pulse,
adjusting wire feed also increases power level of wire electrode (one
knob control). Wire Feed
Voltage
sets the voltage reference for the weld. Voltage
In short circuit GMAW welding, an increase in inductance will de-
crease the number of short circuit transfers per second (provided
no other changes are made) and increase arc-on time. The increased
arc-on time makes the welding puddle more fluid. Inductance
Refers to the shape of the volt-amp curve. Varying the amount of
slope in the welding circuit will change the amount of short-circuit
current and rate of response from the power source. Slope
Distance from end of wire electrode to weld pool. Arc Length
Term used to represent arc length adjustments in pulse programs.
Increasing
Arc Adjust
increases the actual arc length. Likewise,
decreasing
Arc Adjust
shortens arc length.
Arc Adjust
is re-
placed by volts in MIG programs.
Arc Adjust
Allows setting of inductance and slope in MIG mode. In pulse and
Accu-pulse modes, this adjustment changes the arc characteristics
by adjusting the preprogrammed factory pulse settings. Sharp Arc
