x
Switch the valve driver to ON, which causes the upper electrode of the weld head to apply force, as
determined by the air regulator connected to the top of the air cylinder on the weld head, to the
workpiece.
x
Start the squeeze period.
The 2nd Level initiates the start of the Weld Period, provided that the Force Firing Switch has closed
and
the Squeeze Period has ended. A 1-Level Footswitch combines the functions of both levels of a 2-
Level Footswitch.
Chain Schedules Feature
The chain schedules feature is used to automatically change the weld schedule in use to another specified
schedule. Chain schedules is a system feature, and is turned ON using the options menu.
When chain schedules is turned ON, the RUN screen and PROGRAM screen for each schedule will have
additional fields for both STEP COUNT and NEXT SCHEDULE. STEP COUNT and NEXT SCHEDULE
are used to chain schedules together.
Step Count
STEP COUNT is a weld counter which counts down to 0. Any number from 00001 to 99999 can be
entered as a step count. When the step count reaches 0, the schedule will change as specified by the
NEXT SCHEDULE. If a weld sequence is not completed and/or the WELD/NO WELD switch is set to
NO WELD, the step counter will
not
count down.
Next Schedule
NEXT SCHEDULE is the number of the weld schedule to be used when the step count reaches zero.
Any schedule number from 001 to 015 can be used and any number of schedules can be chained
together, with some exceptions as follows:
••
Next Schedule = 0: Can only be used at the beginning of a chain.
•• • •
Next Schedule = Current Schedule: Prevents chaining. When the step count reaches 0, it will reset
and the current schedule will remain in use.
•• • •
Next Schedule = [ . ] period: Causes the power supply to stop after the step count has reached 0 and
issue a standby stop command alarm.
•• • •
Weld Function = Rollspot: Can only be used as the last schedule in a chain.
