Tips Not
Touching
or
Tips
Touching
(See p. 5-3)
The electrode tips
were detected as not
being closed (or not
being open) when
expected.
Tips closing (or opening) too
slowly, due to dirty or poorly
lubricated cylinder or stuck
tips.
Check for sticking gun cylinder.
Remedy as required.
Incorrect schedule timing.
Check robot or ladder logic
schedule timing.
Improper threshold program-
ming.
Adjust threshold in setup
parameters or functions.
Faulty cylinder.
Replace or repair cylinder.
Slow
Cylinder
(See p. 5-4)
The cylinder
exceeded the time
allowed for closing.
Cylinder closing too slowly
due to being dirty or poorly
lubricated.
Check for sticking gun cylinder.
Remedy as required.
Faulty cylinder.
Replace or repair cylinder.
Initial Power
Factor Out of
Range
(See p. 5-4)
The control executed
a power factor test
fire and the PF val-
ues were not within
range.
Also check the
schedule timing and
part fitup. Verify that
the correct valve is
programmed in the
weld schedule.
The inductance of the welding
circuit was changed.
Check for any changes in the
secondary loop.
Incorrect measurement of
power factor.
Make sure the current wires
and voltage sense leads are
secure, with the correct termi-
nals of the firing card.
Current coil resistor on firing
card or load resistor on SCR
assembly is not connected
properly.
Confirm that resistor(s) are
properly seated and connected.
Power factor values
programmed incorrectly.
Check the power factor set-
tings.
Power
Factor Limit
(See p. 5-4)
The power factor
detected while
executing a weld
schedule does not fall
within the desired
range.
Also check for poor
part fitup, arcing and
problems with fac-
tors such as the gun
timing.
Any variation in the welding
circuit inductance is reflected
in the power factor.
Check for any changes in the
secondary loop.
Incorrect measurement of
power factor.
Make sure the current wires
and voltage sense leads are
secure, with the correct termi-
nals of the firing card.
Power factor values are
programmed incorrectly.
Check the power factor
settings.
