Hold
HOLD is used more often with Time or Energy modes, but
it can be used with the Automation mode.
HOLD does not allow the automation program to begin a
new cycle until HOLD is finished.
To set a HOLD period:
1. Select the weld mode (Automation, Time, Energy).
2. Set the time and energy parameters as needed.
3. Press the
HOLD
key. The screen will appear as it
does in Figure 5-9.
4. Set the time with the
+ -
keys.
(A maximum of 5.0 seconds.)
Figure 5-9A shows a setting for 2.0 seconds.
5. Press the
ENTER
key to confirm your selection.
Amplitude Adjustment
Amplitude refers to the movement of the horn at its
workface. The higher the amplitude setting, the higher the
power output level will be at a particular pressure level.
Amplitude settings are given as a percent of the horn’s
nominal amplitude in the range of 20% to 100%.
It is typical to leave the amplitude setting at 100% for
maximum power output.
To adjust amplitude:
1. Press the
AMP
key. The screen will appear as in
Figure 5-10.
2. Set the amplitude level using the
keys and the
+ -
keys.
3. Press
ENTER
to confirm your amplitude setting.
