Synergy
Each combination of wire type, wire diameter and gas mixture requires a unique
relationship between wire feed speed and voltage (arc length) to obtain a stable
functioning arc. The voltage (arc length) automatically conforms in accordance with
the pre-programmed synergic line you selected, which makes it much easier to find
the correct welding parameters. The connection between the wire feed speed and
the other parameters is called the synergic line. See the different synergic lines on
page 14.
It is also possible to order other synergy lines, but these must be installed by an
authorised ESAB service engineer.
When activating synergy
also select synergy option
using the setting
knob.
QSet
t
QSet
, is used to facilitate setting welding parameters.
Turning the knob clockwise increases (+) the arc length.
Turning the knob anti-clockwise reduces (-) the arc length.
SHORT ARC
When first starting welding with a wire type / gas type QSet
automatically sets all
the necessary welding parameters. After that QSet
stores all the data to produce
a good weld. The voltage then automatically conforms to changes in the wire feed
speed.
SPRAY ARC
When approaching the spray arc area the value for QSet
must be increased.
Disengage the QSet
function when welding with pure spray arc, All settings are
inherited from QSet
, with the exception of the voltage which must be set.
Recommendation
:
Make the first weld (6 seconds) with QSet
on a test piece to
obtain all the correct data.
Manual
Manual operation. The operator must set appropriate values for the wire feed and
voltage.
Creep start
Creep starting feeds out the wire at 50% of the set speed until it makes electrical
contact with the workpiece.
