4-16-6. Setting welding conditions (Welding)
–“Auto-edit of arc start/end commands”
Welding robots are provided with commands for operation frequently used in welding (welding start/end sequences) for
easy operation.
When creating a program:
In teaching operation, by entering “Weld point” and “Air-cut
point” correctly, preset detail welding conditions will be
automatically added to the program. You can change the
welding conditions saved in each teaching point in the file
edit operation. See section ” Add a sequence command”
and “Change a sequence command” for details.
When editing a program:
According to the edited “Weld point” and “Air-cut point”, arc
start sequence (ARC-SET and ARC-ON commands) and
arc end sequence (CRATER and ARC-OFF command) will
be automatically added to or deleted from the program.

<Example> Change the point P3 (Arc start point) to an “Air-cut” point. Then, the arc start sequence (which
originally was under the P3) is automatically moved to under the point P4 (new arc start point).

Sequence commands frequently used in welding operation
Command
Definition
How to set
ARC-ON
Specifies welding start conditions.
Select one from welding start programs ArcStart1 to ArcStart5
(torch switch ON, welding current detect etc.)
ARC-OFF
Note)
Specifies welding end conditions.
Select one from welding end programs ArcEnd1 to ArcEnd5
(torch switch ON, Wire stick detect etc.)
ARC-SET
Specifies welding conditions.
Enter set values of welding current, welding voltage and
welding speed.
CRATER
Specifies crater welding conditions.
Enter set values of crater welding current, crater welding
voltage and crater welding time.
AMP
Specifies welding current.
Enter the welding current.
VOLT
Specifies welding voltage.
Enter the welding voltage.
Note)
As for built-in welding power source controller, the table #6 and #7 are available, which is to retract wire automatically
when the stick release functions. (See “Arc welding machine settings” in the advanced operating instructions.)
N o t e
This “
Auto-edit of Arc start/end commands” function is not applicable, if
- points are added using “Cut and Paste” operation.
- an editing program that contains a welding command not used in default welder.
- an editing program default welder has not specified.
