TIG welding task definition
The user defines the welding tasks using JOB numbers.
Each JOB number stores all the parameters relating to the welding task.
The user can either load an existing JOB, load an existing JOB and change it, or define a completely new
JOB via the various interfaces.
The welding task or JOB is defined using the following parameters:
Basic parameters
The JOB number is defined using the four basic welding parameters:
welding process, material type, wire diameter and seam type.
Program sequence
Other welding parameters, such as parameters for the start program, secondary program or end program
and the gas pre-flow time, slope times and many more are preset for a variety of applications, but can be
modified where required. On the various interfaces, the most important welding parameters are displayed
directly and can be modified where required.
Operating point
The operating point can be set via up to 15 (PROG 1 to PROG 15) freely definable programs using a
robot interface (RINTX11/BUSINTX10), for example.
• The welding current, operating mode and pulse function are stored in each program. These program
parameters can be set on a PC or the tablet PC RC 300 using the PC 300 welding parameter
software. The program number is selected by the robot control.
The digital system calculates the process parameters required, such as the welding current, welding
voltage and pulse current according to the operating point specified.
Operating mode
Non-latched or non-latched cold wire (start current, main current and end program).
This parameter setting is specified by the robot control via the RINTX11 or BUSINTX10 robot interface
(see documentation in the relevant interface description).
The selected parameters are displayed on the status display in the PC 300 software.
Welding type
Pulse or standard welding.
This parameter setting is specified by the robot control via the RINTX11 or BUSINTX10 robot interface
(see documentation in the relevant interface description). The selected parameters are displayed on the
status display in the PC 300 software.
