CARRIAGE OSCILLATOR CONTROL
This control operates the motorized linear oscillator slide that is mounted on the PIPE KAT
®
carriage, which moves the welding gun laterally across the weld joint, for positioning and for
oscillation of the weld. See below.
It is a highly sophisticated, yet easy to use, multi-
processor based control drives a high torque, high
resolution, low vibration stepper motor located in the
Oscillator Head, allowing the welding gun to be moved in
a precise reciprocative manner. The control interfaces
with the main PIPE KAT
®
control, providing integrated
functionality. By controlling the oscillation width, speed,
positioning and dwell patterns in conjunction with the
timed activation/deactivation of the PIPE KAT
®
carriage
travel and the welding process, the quality and
appearance of the weld can be tuned to perfection.
“A” & “C” ROTARY SWITCHES
The A & C rotary switches will increase (clockwise adjustment) or decrease (counter-
clockwise adjustment) the A & C location dwells respectively by 0.1 second increments, from a
minimum of zero up to a maximum of 9.9 sec seconds. The current values are displayed on the
LCD screen. These adjustments can be changed at any time before, or during, operation and
will take effect on the next relevant dwell location. The orientation of the A & C locations of the
oscillator can be altered (programmed) to match the orientation of the control. (see the
Oscillator Motor Setup Screen later in this manual for details).
The W rotary switch increases (clockwise adjustment) or decreases (counter-
clockwise adjustment) the total width of the oscillation stroke (A to C). The
increments of adjustment and the minimum and maximum allowable stroke
widths are dependent on the preferred units of measurement (see the Oscillator
Motor Setup Screen later in this manual for details). The current value is
displayed on the LCD screen. Width adjustments can be changed at any time
before or during operation and will take effect on the next travel past the centre of
stroke location. Note: - there is a width range where the oscillation stroke is too
small to permit A & C dwells to work.
