Controlling an Air over Oil System
An Air over Oil System (also referred to as OHMA) uses compressed air to open and close the electrodes plus a hydraulic
intensifier to apply the weld force. This type of system can easily be controlled by the iPAK2v2 by making use of the
programmable AUX valves feature.
shows a weld timing diagram where the Intensify signal is output during the Squeeze, Main Heat and Hold
defines step by step instructions to program a weld program (schedule) using
NetFlash™
with the
Intensify signal output on AV2.
