5.1 WELDING PROCESS CYCLE – MIG/MAG
See paragraph 6.1 for the procedure for switching the parameter value of the function.
The pre-blowing time (t1) and post-blowing time (t2) with shielding gas are set on the wire
feeder.
5.2 INDUCTANCE FUNCTION
This function modifies the drop transfer process by changing the rate of current build-
up from a change in the arc voltage. As the stage value increases, the splatter decreases,
but the drop transfer frequency decreases. By changing the value of this function, each user
can choose the optimal welding process for themselves. In general, the minimum values
are used for welding thickness of more than 3 mm, and the maximum values are used for
thinner products.
By default, the inductance is set to OFF, i.e. set to zero stage. See paragraph 6.1 to
change the value of any function in the current welding mode.
5.3 BEGINNING OF WELDING VOLTAGE BUILD-UP FUNCTION
This function is necessary to smoothly reach the welding mode in the set time [t.uP],
which reduces splashing of the weld pool and splatter at the moment of striking, when the
wire is still cold. The extended smooth reach time is used for the initial weld pool
formation. The voltage build-up time [t.up] is responsible for regulating the smoothness of
this process, both in the source and in the wire feed speed control unit. For maximum
correct operation, these values must be consistent (not every feed unit has the ability to
change the wire feed speed at the end of welding).
CAUTION! The longer the build-up time, the smaller the initial weld, so it is used only
for medium and long seams. For this reason, do not increase the time by more than 0.1
seconds when welding with tacks, etc.
