X8 MIG WELDER
2.4 Operation
Selecting WPS or WPS pass through wire feeder display
You can select a WPS or change the WPS pass through the wire feeder display.
Note:
The first time you use a WPS, you must activate it with Control Pad. After the activation, you can also
use the wire feeder display or the gun remote control to select the WPS.
Selecting WPS through gun remote control
You can select a WPS using the welding gun remote control.
Note:
The first time you use a WPS, you must activate it with Control Pad. After the activation, you can also
use the wire feeder display or the gun remote control to select the WPS.
1.
Press the
Channel
button to go to the
Channel
view.
2.
Use the arrow buttons to go to the desired WPS channel.
The view shows the WPS name and the pass name. If the WPS covers several passes, use the arrow
buttons to move between the passes.
For a description of the remote control buttons, and information on adjusting the WPS parameters with the
remote control, see
Gun remote control
on page 99.
Adjusting WPS parameters
You can adjust all parameters through Control Pad or the wire feeder display. Through the gun remote
control, you can adjust wire feed speed, fine tuning and dynamics.
If you adjust a parameter whose correct value is essential for the process (the current, voltage or wire feed
speed) beyond the range defined in the WPS, the system displays a warning on Control Pad and on the
wire feeder display. The parameter for which the warning is shown depends on the process in use. For more
information on the parameters related to various processes, see
Standard MIG welding processes in X8 MIG
Welder
on page 119 and
Wise processes
on page 124.
Note:
Depending on the welding program and process in use, it is possible that the welding machine
cannot adjust all the settings according to the WPS. Current, voltage and wire feed speed depend on
each other, so a controversy between WPS and welding program or process may arise, in which case
the parameters are not adjusted according to the WPS.
For information on adjusting the parameters with Control Pad, see
Welding view
on page 87.
For information on adjusting the parameters through the wire feeder display, see
Wire feeder views
on page
96.
Transferring dWPSs to the welding machine
Digital WPSs are created with the WeldEye tool and transferred to the welding machine via Internet or on
a USB stick. For more information on WeldEye, see
Introduction to WeldEye for welding procedure and
qualification management
on page 9 and www.weldeye.com.
