Dynamic Squeeze Features
The MedWeld 4000 provides a test fire function. Use it to determine the
initial secondary resistance of a test fire, and whether the electrode tips
were touching, (based on current draw).
The data generated by the test fire can be used by the control in several
ways.
Specifying the Test
Fire Current
First, use the setup parameter Tips Down Test Fire %I to tell the
processor the amount of heat to use in the welding schedule when the
control executes Function #80 (VERIFY TIPS DOWN EVERY nn
CYC. nn TIMES) or Function #81 (SLOW CYLINDER TEST EVERY
nn CYC. nn TIMES).
Set this parameter value to be low enough to reduce the open secondary
voltage, but high enough so that the current detected when tips are down
exceeds the Tips Down Verified Current setup parameter.
NOTES:
DO NOT
confuse the
Tips Down Test Fire %I
setup parameter with
Function #39 (TEST FIRE nn%). This setup parameter is used ONLY by
the
VERIFY TIPS DOWN
and
SLOW CYLINDER TEST
functions.
Function #39 performs a 1-cycle test fire at the percent heat
programmed. The test functions (described on page 7-6) use the results
of this test fire to check conditions such as initial power factor and the
amount of current provided by the weld.
Defining the Current
Threshold
You must also define the setup parameter Tips Down Verified Current to
define the current threshold to use when executing the dynamic squeeze
functions: Function #80 (VERIFY TIPS DOWN nn CY. nn TIMES) or
Function #81 (SLOW CYLINDER TEST EVERY nn CYC. nn
TIMES).
The best way to determine this value is by experimenting to distinguish
open and closed secondary currents for various heat settings.
