CHAPTER 12 -
DOUBLE STROKE FUNCTION
In addition to the 3 solenoid valves that are part of the work cycle, the control unit manages a
fourth solenoid valve aside from the work cycle to command the double stroke, which is also
called the approach stroke.

The input (D.STROKE) enables the output of solenoid valve EV4, to control the
DOUBLE STROKE, and keeps it enabled separately from the work cycle; the output
remains enabled even when the WORK - PROGRAM key is switched to PROGRAM

On turning on the machine, with input (D.STROKE) active, the output is disabled. In this case,
during the first weld the control unit first activates solenoid valve EV4 before the work cycle
(this solenoid valve moves the electrode from position “A” to position “B”). It then carries out
the programmed weld cycle after a fixed time of 0.6 seconds. At the end of the weld, solenoid

next cycle-start command.

In order to disable the EV4 double stroke output, simply deactivate the input (D.STROKE); the
