Button A on the clamp allows the thickness of the sheets to be welded to be changed remotely.
Button B on the clamp allows the user to spot weld with the selected parameters.
CAR MANUFACTURER Mode :
The CAR MANUFACTURER mode is optional and is configurable in the setup menu that is activated by pressing the mode
key for 2 seconds (CAR MANUFACTURER : ON / OFF).
This mode allows calling, in a nominative manner, a pre-recorded welding spot according to a car manufacturer repair
specification. Select the CAR MANUFACTURER in the left column, then by pressing the (+) key the spots list is displayed on
the right column. Select the requested welding spot (highlighted); the machine is ready to weld.
User programmed welding spots can be recalled by selecting USER in the list of car manufacturers. The welding spots can be
programmed using the welding spot programming module in the GYSPOT software.
AUTO Mode :
The AUTO mode is optional and is configurable in the setup menu that is activated by pressing the mode key for 2 seconds
(AUTO MODE : ON / OFF).
This mode can be used with the C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C9 arms. It cannot be used with the C8, C10 and C11 arms, for
which the error message « ARM NOT COMPATIBLE » will be displayed if they are selected.
This mode allows welding steel sheets without specifying any parameter on the screen of the machine. The machine
determines the adapted welding parameters.
In order to use this mode, a calibration should be first performed by closing the clamp without any steel between the
electrodes. Press the « Close clamp / weld » button. The message « Close clamp without steel » appears on the screen.
Press the button again to perform the calibration. Once the calibration has been performed, the machine displays all the
parameters to zero, and is ready to weld. Close the clamp on the area to weld and weld automatically, without entering any
parameter inside the machine. Every 30 welding spots, a new calibration will be requested.
ENERGY Mode :
The ENERGY mode is optional and is configurable in the setup menu that is activated by pressing the mode key for 2
seconds (ENERGY MODE : ON / OFF).
This mode allows controlling the energy transferred during the welding spot. This mode is not designed for the repair, but
is rather meant to be used by car manufacturers and independent control labs.
In order to use this mode, a calibration should be first performed by closing the clamp without any steel sheets between the
electrodes. Press the « Close clamp / weld » button. The message « Close clamp (without steel) » appears on the screen.
Press the button again to perform the calibration. Once the calibration has been performed, the machine displays the last
parameters selected for welding current and energy.
