Making Test Welds with Round-to-Round or Round-to-Flat Stock
To arrive at the point where you make a successful first weld will require you to make several test welds,
using identical weld pieces each time for true process control.
You should make the first test welds with low energy settings. You can then adjust each of the welding
parameters
one at a time
until you can make a successful weld.
You will be adjusting weld energy (current over time) with the Power Supply, and weld force (WELD),
follow-up force (FWUP), and follow-up force delay (DLY) with the Weld Head Control.
