SPC Indexing Capabilities
With SPC (Statistical Process Control) Indexing, the control collects
weld data in temporary storage bins. This data can be collected either in
controlled intervals or continuously for use in special situations (such as
tear-down).
The collected weld data can be analyzed to help recognize certain
welding trends such as changes in resistance of the work piece, primary
current and line voltage.
You can then use WTC’s WebVIEW to retrieve and analyze the stored
data.
To perform SPC indexing, use the following functions in a weld
schedule, along with the SPC setup parameters described below.
SPC Functions
87
SET SPC OFFSET TO nn
For data collection, each weld is assigned a data storage bin number (00
– 99). This function establishes the starting bin number for SPC
indexing. Here is an example:
Car Type #1:
Weld Schedule #20 - (SET SPC OFFSET TO 01)
Weld Schedule #01 - 15 Welds Made (Bins 1–15)
Weld Schedule #02 - 15 Welds Made (Bins 16–30)
Weld Schedule #03 - 18 Welds Made (Bins 31–48)
Car Type #2:
Weld Schedule #21 - (SET SPC OFFSET TO 51)
Weld Schedule #04 - 12 Welds Made (Bins 51–62)
Weld Schedule #05 - 12 Welds Made (Bins 63–74)
Weld Schedule #06 - 14 Welds Made (Bins 75–88)
After establishing a bin number, the program stores the data for each
weld made in its own individual bin. The bin numbers increase by one
each time a weld is made, until another schedule with a different offset
is executed.
Bin #99 is the last usable bin. If the weld control reaches bin #99 and is
still collecting data, the data for each weld will be stored in bin #99 until
a new offset is assigned. For this reason, the data unsuitable for analysis.
NOTE:
This function does NOT tell the control to collect weld data. It only
assigns a data storage bin number. Refer to the Data Collection Sample
Size and Data Collection Sample Frequency setup parameters described
below for instructions on how to specify data collection.
