CHAPTER 9
- WELDS COUNTER FUNCTION
A counter has been built into the control unit to count the run welds. The max limit may be
programmed. During operations, the counter's current value is displayed. The counter
increases at each weld. The cycles carried out in NO WELD mode are not counted.
The welds counter may be cleared when the control unit is in work configuration.
PROG. 001 SPOT 12340
WELD CYCLE 01.0 ~
CURRENT RMS 43.26 kA
CONDUCTION DEG 142°
As such, press the CLEAR key
and the following message is displayed:
CLEAR COUNTER
SPOTS? [-]=YES
Press key to clear the counter otherwise just wait 3 seconds and the control unit quits the
procedure without resetting the counter.
The max number of welds to be carried out is adjusted through the same procedure described
for the incremental function.
For example, if the user wishes the control unit to carry out 2840 welds and then stop, the
following parameters are set in the
STEPPER MENU
:
