5.3.6.2 Operating point setting using material thickness
Plate thickness details in welding programs generally refer to fillet welds in the PB welding position. They
should be regarded as guideline values and may differ in other welding positions.
Application example
Aluminium is to be welded.
• Material = AlMg,
• Gas = Ar 100%,
• Wire diameter = 1.2 mm
The correct wire speed is not known and is to be determined.
• Select the appropriate JOB (
> see 11.1 chapter
)
• Switch to the material thickness display
• Set the material thickness as appropriate (e.g. 5 mm)
• Switch to the wire speed display
The resulting wire speed will be shown (e.g. 8.4 m/min).

5.3.6.4 Accessory components for operating point setting
The operating point can also be set with various accessory components such as
• remote controls
• special torches
• PC software
• robot and industrial bus interfaces (optional interface for automated welding required – not possible for
all machines in this series!)
For an overview of the accessory components
> see 9 chapter
See the operating instructions for the
machine in question for a more detailed description of the individual machines and their functions.
