Section 12 Configuration 59
Seam pre-heat only
Pre-heat can be used in situations when a spot weld is required. The following example shows how to use the
pre-heat to produce a spot weld.
Parameter Setting Description
Sequence timing
Presqueeze ms The time for the electrodes to close onto the work piece.
Squeeze ms The time between the initial application of the electrode force
and the first application of welding current
Pre-heat ms The pre-heat welding current is applied
Main heat 0 The main welding current is not used
Hold ms Electrode force continues after the welding current has
finished
Current control
Pre-mode P/W – CCu – CCC Operating mode of the Pre-heat interval
Pre-heat % The % heat used during the Pre-heat interval
Pre-current kA The current used during the Pre-heat interval
Pre-monitor 1 yes/no The current can be tested between limits
Low limit
1
% Current low limit
High limit
