Insufficient air pressure :
Before the welding spot: If the input air pressure is too low to reach the required electrode force, the machine will beep
and display the following error message “Insufficient Pressure”.
Pressing the button allows the user to force the execution of the welding spot, which will be performed with the air
pressure available. If the actual measured clamping force is too low, then the machine will display the following message
“Low Pressure”.
Welding spot counter
The spot counter will count the number of spot welds performed with the same caps. If the welding spot is performed
without any problem, the message below left, appears.
The counter is displayed on the top left corner of the screen. After the caps have been replaced, press the
button to
reset the counter to zero
.
If more than 200 welding spots are done with the same caps, then the machine will display the below warning message. In
this case, the warning message “Change tips” is also recorded in the traceability report.
.
Attention: After the warning message is displayed, if the nozzles are not changed before resetting the
counter to zero, the nozzles may become badly damage and cause poor quality welding.
Recording features
The "Identification" mode is optional; you can configure it in the settings menu which is activated by pushing the mode
button for 2 seconds (identification mode on/off).
If the identification mode is « off », enter a file name and activate it to store the information of the welding spots made in
the memory.
The log book stores the spots made with the clamp in the memory. It is available in all modes by pressing both buttons
located bellow the “reporting” icon.
The user’s program is available in all modes by pushing the buttons bellow the “memory” icon.
Report (log book)
Saving a report allows spot welding data to be stored on a memory card, in
order to use it again later or retrieve it at a later date eg. on a computer.
GYS supplies software called GYSPOT to read the SD card and the user
manual. This GYSPOT software is stored in the SD card with the user
manual.
By default, the report mode is not activated when the machine is started.
Pressing the record button (on/off)
and the « mode » button starts the
recording process in the selected log file. To stop saving the information,
press the save button again.
The new report has: an identifier entered by the user, all the spots made, the arm and the clamp used, the settings
(voltage and pressure). It puts also stores any messages received whilst recording: LOW I, LOW P, CAPS PB.
You can enter the identifier using the 4 buttons: +, -, up or down. If you enter an identifier that has already been used,
the unit will save the new spot information, without erasing the old ones.
