2 With the [ ▲▼ ] keys, select (highlight with
the cursor) the UPST position, which now
reads the default value of .800.
3 Enter the new UPST position value directly
with the DATA keypad. In this example, key
in .270 on the DATA keypad and press
[ENTER].
4 Press [ ► ] to select the default SRCH position
value of .100. A SRCH space that is 0.020
inch (0.5mm) greater than the combined
workpiece thickness helps to visually align the upper electrode with the workpieces (see figure 2-5).
For this example, key in .040 inch.
5 At this point, you have entered the new SRCH position, but you have not yet saved it. Press [SAVE]
to save both the UPST and SRCH positions to the weld schedule.
6 If you forget to save in Step 5 and press
[RUN] to go to the run mode, the Weld Head
Control puts up the CHANGES NOT
SAVED screen. The three highlighted
options allow you to save the new UPST and
SRCH positions to the weld schedule
(SAVE), go to the run mode and save the
new UPST and SRCH positions to Schedule
000 (RUN), or cancel the changes (ENTER).
