6.3 Welding Conditions
This section explains basic welding conditions with useful functions.
6.3.1
Basic welding conditions
This section explains the basic welding conditions. To carry out the welding operation, the followings should be
considered:
•
Plate thickness and materials of welding material
•
Type and flow rate of shield gas
•
Wire type and wire diameter, and welding method (type of welding)
•
Welding current and welding voltage
6.3.2
Useful functions
This section explains the useful functions for the welding power source.
•
Registration of welding conditions (
6.5
-
Memory Function of Welding Conditions)
Using the memory function of the welding condition enables to register the welding current/voltage, shield gas type,
and wire type/wire diameter currently set, and reads them out for use.
•
Synergic adjustment of voltage (
6.2
-
Function on Operation Panel)
Using the VOLT. ADJUST menu enables to automatically set the welding voltage according to the welding current.
Fine adjustment of the welding voltage automatically set is also available.
•
Penetration control (
6.6.8
-
Penetration control adjustment)
Using the penetration control function can automatically adjust the wire feed speed so that the constant welding
current is always kept even with the wire feeding length changes. (Available only for MILD STEEL SOLID, MILD
STEEL CORED, STAINLESS STEEL SOLID or STAINLESS STEEL CORED)
•
Welding current adjustment by torch switch (
6.7
-
Setting Internal Functions)
Using the internal function (F48) enables to increase or decrease the welding current set by the torch switch operation.
(Available only with the CRATER-FILL ON is selected and with welding condition)
