3.1.1 TORCH BUTTON FUNCTION - 2T
It is used when welding short and medium-length welds. The function is as follows:
when you press the button on the torch, the control signal goes to the control unit,
the function of pre-purging the welding zone with gas for time [t.Pr] is activated (gas
valve opens), then the signal to turn on the source and the wire feeder. From this
moment, the welding process begins. At the same time, the function of smooth
output to the welding mode in time [t.uP] is activated, as well as additional functions
(e.g. additional functions (for example, the last generation digital PATON sources
have a pulse mode), all according to the welding process cycle shown in the
cyclogram of 3.1. After releasing the button, the function of smooth decay of current
and wire feed speed for time [t.dn] is activated, then the source is switched off. Then
the function of post-purging the welding zone with gas for the time [t.Po] (the gas
valve is closed with a delay) is executed.
