Programming Levels/Segments Parameters

The Weld Schedule - Weld Levels screen displays weld

parameters that may be changed for each level. Once parameters for Level 1

have been entered, touch OK to save. Touching Add a Level will create

another level identical to the previous level. Select those parameters you

wish to change and enter the value from the keyboard.

Level Position: Enter the position of the electrode at the end of

the level. The time to arrive at that position will be entered auto-

matically once the travel speed has been entered.

Determination of Welding Currents

Primary Amps: Primary amps will essentially determine the

amount of weld penetration. Calculation of Primary Amps for Level

1 is based on wall thickness. The amount of primary amperage

needed will vary somewhat from heat-to-heat of stainless steel.

One Amp per 0.001” is a rough approximation. However, more

realistic amperage values are obtained using the corrections

shown in the table on the next page. Values are based on a travel

speed of 5 IPM.

Symbols for each parameter are shown at the left of the screen.
