OPERATION (USER MODE) VRTEX® ENGAGE™
Travel Speed
turns on the travel speed visual cue. See Figure B.35.
This cue uses the color coding position to indicate travel speed.
NOTE:
The goal is to keep the arrow in the center of the graph which
will also keep it green.
The
CTWD
(Contact Tip To Work Distance) cue is only available for
GMAW and FCAW processes. This cue uses color and position to
indicate proper CTWD. See Figure B.36. The goal is to get the tip of
the green arrow on the line of the “H” bar and keep the arrow color
green.
The Travel/Work Angle cue can be used with GMAW or FCAW
processes. See Figure B.37. The goal of this cue is to center the
circle in the cross hair and keep the color green.
The
Aim
cue can be used with the GMAW or FCAW processes. See
Figure B.38. The goal of this cue is to position the GMAW/FCAW Gun
device so the aim cue is a thin green line. This indicates that the weld
is being made in the correct location or position.
NEW COUPON
Selecting the blue new coupon menu icon instantly replaces the
current coupon with a fresh, unwelded coupon. Note that this is a
quick way to start over on the same configuration and process but
that it will remove all passes from the coupon and the graphs on the
LASER screen.
WHITE SCREEN SELECT ARROWS
Touching the white screen select arrows allow the user to move to the
previous or next step in the lesson.
END PASS
When the user selects the green “End Pass” menu icon, the pass
is scored, a snapshot of the weld is taken, and the percentages of
the weld containing discontinuities are calculated.
If the user has
inserted a USB device, selecting “End Pass” also automatically
saves a student report to the USB memory device on the front of
the machine . If no USB memory stick is present, a red circle with a
cross through it will appear on the USB icon in the upper right hand
corner of the screen. This also indicates that the student report has
not saved. Allow 10 seconds after selecting the “End Pass” icon to
allow time for the file to be saved. Student reports are not saved
internally on the VRTEX Engage. If the file is not saved on the USB
device at the time of the weld and another weld is made, the previous
weld data will be lost.
