Weld Profiles
One of the principal goals of CheckPoint™ is to report on welds that are outside of user-defined limits with
respect to WeldScore™, current, voltage, wire feed speed and duration. This goal would be simple to
implement if the Welding Power Source were to perform only one type of weld over and over. However, in
practical applications, this is not the case. The assembly of many different industrial components requires
welds of varying type and length.
The concept of Weld Profiles allows the Welding Power Source to apply different limit settings for each
weld that is performed on a certain part. Before the Welding Power Source begins a new weld, the wire
feeder or system controller selects the corresponding Weld Profile. The Weld Engineer can, therefore,
assign one Weld Profile to each weld required for the part assembly.
For more in-depth information about Weld Profiles, please refer to the Power Wave® Manager User
Manual.
Weld Logging
CheckPoint™ records large quantities of weld statistics. Each log entry contains the following welding
statistics for each weld:
For current, voltage, wire feed speed and duration:
