3 WELDING PARAMETERS

3.1 Sectors

A program for tube welding can be divided into different sections: sectors. Each sector corresponds to one section of the tube's circumference. The maximum number of sectors for one program is 50.

A sector can be assigned its own set of values for different welding parameters, such as current, rotation speed and wire feed speed, etc. This allows the welding to be performed using different welding parameter settings for different sections of the tube joint.

The division into sectors is done by indicating different breakpoints or degrees around the circumference of the tube. Each breakpoint or degree constitutes the starting point for a new sector. In the figure, breakpoint 0.000, 0 degrees, is the starting point for sector 1, breakpoint 0.250, 90 degrees, the starting point for sector 2, and so on.

The power source allows welding of up to 10 turns in the same weld joint. (The welding tool can be rotated 10 times around the tube.)

To conclude a weld program, a so-called end sector is indicated. For a sector to be counted as an end sector the following two conditions must be fulfilled:

S There is no subsequent sector.

S The welding current value for the sector is 0 ampere.

3.2 Welding current

Six parameters are represented in the parameter group for welding current:

S Peak current

S Background current

S Pulse time

S Background time

S Special pulsing

S Slope, see point 3.9.

TIG welding with pulsed current

Welding current can be pulsed or continuous (not pulsed).

3.2.1 Pulsed current/continuous current

When welding using a pulsed current, peak current, background current, pulse time and background time must be given a value.

When welding using a continuous current, however, you need only enter a parameter value for peak current. Entering a value for background current will result in a pulsed current.

bi16d1ea

- 8 -

GB

The welding current (pulsed current) can be synchronized with the weaving motion so that the peak current will start when the electrode is at the extremes of the weaving motion. This is also called special pulsing. (Even when special pulsing is not used, peak current still starts at the extremes of the weaving motion.)

3.2.2 Special pulsing

Special pulsing means that the welding current is synchronized with the weaving

motion, i.e. you get peak current when the electrode is at the extremes of the weaving motion. Thus, the peak current time is determined by the pause time for each extreme.

Special pulsing can be used in combination with both continuous and pulsed rotation. Special pulsing with pulsed rotation, also called square-wave pulsing, means that the gear ring rotates when the electrode is at either extreme of the weaving motion.

A = Background current

B = Peak current

Rotation direction Rotation direction

Special pulsing with

continuous rotation

Special pulsing with

pulsed rotation

With special pulsing, the wire feed can be either continuous or pulsed. With pulsed wire feed, synchronization with the welding current takes place in the manner described above, see also chapter 3.3”Wire Feed Speed”.

bi16d1ea

- 9 -

GB

3.3 Wire feed

Wire feed speed is used to indicate the feed speed for the filler wire in cm/minute. Speed can be pulsed or continuous (not pulsed).

Three parameters are represented in the parameter group for wire feed:

S Peak wire feed

S Background wire feed S Slope, see point 3.9.

For welding using a continuous (not pulsed) wire feed, only the peak wire feed parameter needs to be entered.

For welding with a pulsed wire feed speed, both the peak wire feed and the background wire feed parameters need to be entered.

The pulsed wire feed speed is always automatically synchronized with the welding current so that the wire feed speed is high when using peak current and low when using background current.

3.4 Rotation

Used to indicate the rotation speed of the electrode around the workpiece. It is indicated in mm/min.

The rotation speed can be pulsed or continuous (not pulsed).

Four parameters are represented in the parameter group for rotation:

S Rotation speed S Rotation direction

S Pulsed rotation S Slope, see point 3.9.

Pulsed rotation is automatically synchronized with the welding current so that the welding tool is stationary at peak current and rotates at background current.

3.5 Arc voltage control (AVC)

Used during welding with welding tools equipped with an AVC unit.

Arc voltage control (AVC) means that the arc voltage, and therefore the arc length (the distance between the electrode point and workpiece), is regulated automatically during ongoing welding.

Four parameters are represented in the parameter group for arc voltage control (AVC):

S Peak voltage (Arc voltage at peak current)

S Background voltage (Arc voltage at background current) S Delay time

S Slope, see point 3.9.

The parameters peak voltage and background voltage are used to enter the reference value for arc voltage control at peak current and background current. With continuous current, only the peak voltage parameter needs to be entered.

bi16d1ea

- 10 -

GB

If no value is indicated for peak voltage, use a value measured immediately after welding began as the reference value.

If no value is indicated for background voltage and pulsed welding current is entered, there is no arc voltage control with background current.

Note: It is not possible to indicate a time slope in sector 1 for peak voltage and background voltage.

It is possible to enter a delay time as a means of stablising the arc before arc voltage control commences. During this delay time the AVC unit is completely locked.

If you do not enter a delay time, the following happens:

S The delay time is the same (at least 5 seconds) as any slope up time for the

welding current. If the entered slope up time is less than 5 seconds, the AVC unit will start up once the slope ends, but only by increasing the arc voltage (arc length).

S If no slope up time has been entered for the welding current, a fixed delay time

of 5 seconds applies. The AVC unit is not completely locked but can increase the arc voltage (arc length).

3.6 Weaving

Used if you want to weave the electrode sideways during welding when using welding tools equipped with a weaving unit.

Five parameters are represented in the parameter group for weaving:

S Weaving amplitude

S Weaving speed

S Left pause time

S Right pause time

S Slope, see point 3.9.

Amplitude (mm)

Left pause time (s)

Right pause time (s)

Weaving speed (mm/s)

Weaving

The weaving motion can be synchronized with the welding current (pulsed current) so that the peak current will start when the electrode reaches the extremes of the weaving motion. This is also called `special pulsing' and is described further in chapter 3.2.2 ”Special Pulsing”.

bi16d1ea

GB

3.7 Gas

Three parameters are represented in the parameter group for shielding gas:

S Weld gas

S Start gas

S Root gas

Weld gas refers to the shielding gas on the upper side of the weld joint. The weld gas parameter indicates how long the shielding gas is to flow on the upper side of the joint before and after welding. The weld gas is monitored by a flow guard min.

4.5 l/min.

Some shielding gases, for example, helium (He), can cause problems with regard to igniting the arc. If this type of shielding gas is to be used as weld gas, it may be advisable to use a different gas mixture at the actual instance of starting, a so-called

start gas.

Root gas refers to the shielding gas on the underside of the weld joint. The root gas

parameter indicates how long the shielding gas is to flow on the underside of the joint before and after welding.

If one value is entered for weld gas and another for start gas in sector 1, only the

start gas will flow. The weld gas starts flowing once the arc is ignited.

3.8 Preheating

Preheating is used to heat the workpiece at the starting point in order to ensure

correct penetration of the molten pool and is defined as the time elapsing between arc ignition and the start of the rotary motion. If no value has been entered for preheating, rotation will start as soon as the arc ignites.

3.9 Slope

A slope may be indicated for certain parameters. A slope is the time during which the value of the parameter gradually changes from the value in the preceding sector to the value entered for the current sector.

Slope up = gradual increase, if the preceding value is lower than the entered value.

Slope down = gradual decrease, if the preceding value is higher than the entered value.

The maximum period a slope can run depends on the duration of a particular sector. If the slope time is of the same duration as the sector, this is called a `sector slope'.

2 stroke

Gas preflow Slope

up

Functions when using 2-stroke control of the welding torch.

Slope down Gas postflow

In 2-stroke control mode, pressing the TIG torch trigger switch (1) starts gas preflow (if used) and ignites the arc. The current rises to the set value (as controlled by the slope up function, if in operation). Releasing the trigger switch (2) reduces the current (as controlled by the slope down function, if in operation) and extinguishes the arc. Gas postflow follows, if in operation.

GB

4 stroke

Gas preflow Slope

up

Functions when using 4-stroke control of the welding torch.

Slope down Gas postflow

In 4-stroke control mode, pressing the trigger switch (1) starts gas preflow (if used). At the end of the gas preflow time, the current rises to the pilot level (a few amperes), and the arc is ignited. Releasing the trigger switch (2) increases the current to the set value (as controlled by the slope up function, if in operation). When the trigger switch is next pressed (3), the current is reduced to pilot level again (as controlled by the slope down function, if in operation). Releasing the switch again (4) extinguishes the arc and starts gas postflow.

Start method

HF

The HF function ignites the arc by means of a spark produced when the electrode is brought closer to the workpiece.

LiftArct

The LiftArct function ignites the arc when the electrode is brought into contact with the workpiece and then lifted away from it.

Igniting the arc using the LiftArc functiont. Step 1: the electrode is held against the workpiece. Step 2: the trigger switch is pressed, and a low current starts to flow. Step 3: the welder lifts the electrode from the workpiece; the arc ignites, and the current rises automatically to the set value.

Background current time that together with the pulse current time produces the pulse period.

Pulse time

Background time

Peak current

Background current

TIG welding with pulsed current

Slope up

The slope up function means that when the TIG arc ignites the current rises slowly to the set value. This provides `gentler' heating of the electrode, and gives the welder a chance to position the electrode properly before the full current value is reached.

Slope down

TIG welding uses ”slope down”, where the current falls slowly over a controlled time, to avoid craters and/or cracks in a completed weld.

Gas preflow

This controls the time during which shielding gas flows before the arc is ignited. Also see information under chapter 3.7.

Gas postflow

This controls the time during which shielding gas flows after the arc is extinguished. Also see information under chapter 3.7.
