STEP SPEED
The travel speed of the auto step (minimum setting 3 cm/min)
NUMBER OF STEPS
The number of steps during one rotational turn.
OVERLAP
The length of the overlap of one rotational turn.
MANUAL STEP LENGTH
The length of one manual step (minimum setting 1 mm)
(for singular manual adjustments during welding)
NOTE!
To be able to run the step function, STEP CONTROL must be in the ON position, the
EXT AXIS and AUTO STEP soft keys must be ON
If you want to have a restart of step, to restart step welding after a stop, press soft key
RESTART STEP
before you press the
AUTO STEP
before you start to weld.
For example, if you have 100 mm to next step, press
STOP
, change the wire, position the
object, press
RESTART STEP
, press
AUTO STEP
, and start to weld. Next step will be after
100 mm.
When the “one turn switch” is activated, the step function executes one auto step in the
direction and with the speed and length specified by the
STEP DIRECTION
,
STEP SPEED
and
STEP LENGTH
parameters.
If the FORCE STEP soft key is pushed, the step function executes one auto step in the
direction and with the speed and length specified by the
STEP DIRECTION
,
STEP SPEED
and
STEP LENGTH
parameters.
If the square/triangle button is pushed, one manual step will be executed in the direction and
with the speed and length specified by the square/triangle,
STEP SPEED
and
STEP
LENGTH
parameters. This function can be used to make one small adjustment during
welding.
There is always a possibility to interrupt an auto step or manual step movement by pushing
the
SQUARE
or
TRIANGLE
button.
During the auto step or manual step movement, the LED above the square/triangle button is
on to indicate movement and direction.
Speed wheel settings
When the positioner and the speed wheel are ON the speed wheel (encoder) is at the
welding object.
When the positioner and the speed wheel are OFF the encoder is at the motor shaft.
When the roller bed and the speed wheel are ON the speed wheel (encoder) is at the roller
bed wheel.
When the roller bed and the speed wheel are OFF the encoder is at the motor shaft.
