9-3. Automated Welding Equipment Recommendations
Planning proper layout and routing of welding cables and control cables should be considered when setting up automated equipment.
1. Whenever possible all cables should be routed out of the path of moving equipment.
2. Cable installation in a stationary position will decrease the likelihood of wires breaking down in the cable.
3. Cables that are moving will breakdown over time. This time can be increased by making sure there are no stress points when installing cables,
and deciding how and where to tie cables down.
4. If at all possible, do not route weld cables and control cables together. Leave as much space as reasonable between the weld cables and any
other control cables. Welding generates electrical noise which is present on the weld cables (see 9-9 for grounding information).
9-4. Process Considerations
To obtain the most performance from the welding equipment, it is important to use the right transfer mode for the application. There are no hard and fast
rules, but there are general guidelines to follow when making a selection. The transfer modes available depend on the power source being used. The
possible transfer modes are as follows: Short Arc, Spray, Pulsed Spray, Accu-pulse, and RMD (Regulated Metal Deposition).

Note: To achieve optimum performance, 4/0 welding secondary cable is recommended and the supplied work sense lead must be
connected as close to the arc as possible.
