• Once the energy has discharged, the electrode will
return to its original position.
Important Tip: You will experience an initial tendency to
continue to push upward as the electrode retracts. Instead,
hold the workpiece still during the weld process. Once
contact is made, maintain the workpiece’s position until the
weld is completed.
Pushing the workpiece up to follow the electrode as it
moves away from the workpiece can cause the electrode to
stick to the workpiece.
Conversely, pulling the workpiece away from the electrode
can cancel the formation of the arc.
Use the provided stainless steel weld plate (as shown
above) as a guide to try different settings and practice weld
placement. Make several welds on the weld plate to get
comfortable with the stylus and the effects of different weld
parameters.
Ensure the weld cable has a resistance of at least 20mΩ
when using an arc cable not supplied by Sunstone.
MAKE A TACK WELD
For more information on Tack Settings see page 23.
This mode requires the use of two alligator clips or other
cables connected to the Tack (+) and Tack (-) terminals on
the back of the Power Supply.
Note: Do not attempt to use the “Pulse Arc+” terminals for
Tack Welds.
• From the Home Screen, press the Tack Button to
display the Tack Controls. See Figure 42.1.
• Select Medium from the Quick Power Settings row.
Figure 41.1. To make an arc weld, touch the ARC
Button. Then select the desired waveform, ignition,
and agitation. Adjust the amount of energy and
length as needed. If you are using a pedal to initiate
the weld, touch the Pedal Button; otherwise, the
Touch Button is the default. Make sure the Weld On
Button is on.
Figure 41.2. Adjust the arm to a comfortable height.
Ideally your hands will be able to rest on the table
while making welds for greatest stability.
