The start time of the Arc stable / Touch signal signal may vary depending on the condi-
tion and electrical conductivity of the tip of the wire electrode. Two examples are shown
below.
a) No slag on the tip of the wire electrode:
The WireSense process starts without the WireSense -Slaghammer function and the
Arc stable / Touch signal signal is output around 20 ms after the wire electrode
touches the workpiece
b) Slag on the tip of the wire electrode:
Before the WireSensefunction starts, the WireSense -Slaghammer function is auto-
matically activated to remove the slag residue from the tip of the wire electrode. The
Arc stable / Touch signal signal is only activated once the slag has been successfully
removed and the wire electrode and workpiece make proper electrical contact.
Therefore, the delay time for the Arc stable / Touch signal signal could be much
longer than 20 ms
