X8 MIG WELDER
2.4 Operation
Tracking heat input
You can set the device to track the heat input of each weld and provide the welder with heat input values.
To get the heat input value, select
Complete Pass
. Identify the weld and perform at least one welding run.
After this, the
Complete Pass
selection appears in Control Pad's
Task
view.
In heat input calculation the system uses travel speed, welding current, voltage, and welding process
information. To calculate the right value for travel speed, enter the length of the weld.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Log in to Control Pad. Identify the WPS and the weld.
The device considers all subsequent welding to be part of a pass and takes it into account in heat input
calculation.
2.
When you have finished welding, select
Complete Pass
.
Note:
You can also weld several runs, select
Complete pass
after the last run, and enter the
total length of the runs.
Note:
Before you can change to another weld or WPS, Control Pad prompts you to complete
the pass to ensure that all data is recorded and documented. This may also happen if you try to
select
Weld complete
, but the pass is not yet completed.
3.
Enter the welded length (mm). Use the right control knob to change the pass length.
Note:
The length may be preset in WeldEye, but you can change it if needed.
