User programmed welding spots can be recalled by selecting USER in the list of car manufacturers. The welding spots can be
programmed using the welding spot programming module in the SPOT software.
AUTO Mode :
The AUTO mode is optional and is configurable in the setup menu that is activated by pressing the mode key for 2 seconds
(AUTO MODE : ON / OFF).
This mode can be used with the C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7 and C9 arms. It cannot be used with the C8 and C10 arms, for which
the error message « ARM NOT COMPATIBLE » will be displayed if they are selected. This mode allows welding steel sheets
without specifying any parameter on the screen of the machine. The machine determines the adapted welding parameters.
In order to use this mode, a calibration should be first performed by closing the clamp without any steel between the electrodes.
Press the « Close clamp / weld » button. The message « Close clamp without steel » appears on the screen. Press the button
again to perform the calibration. Once the calibration has been performed, the machine displays all the parameters to zero, and
is ready to weld. Close the clamp on the area to weld and weld automatically, without entering any parameter inside the
machine. Every 30 welding spots, a new calibration will be requested.
ENERGY Mode :
The ENERGY mode is optional and is configurable in the setup menu that is activated by pressing the mode key for 2 seconds
(ENERGY MODE : ON / OFF). This mode allows controlling the energy transferred during the welding spot. This mode is not
designed for the repair, but is rather meant to be used by car manufacturers and independent control labs.
In order to use this mode, a calibration should be first performed by closing the clamp without any steel sheets between the
electrodes. Press the « Close clamp / weld » button. The message « Close clamp (without steel) » appears on the screen. Press
the button again to perform the calibration. Once the calibration has been performed, the machine displays the last parameters
selected for welding current and energy.
The user can then change the welding current, the energy, and the impedance. The machine will weld during the time necessary
to reach the requested energy. If the welding is too long, the machine will display an error message « Timeout (ms) ».
