Calibrating welding cable

Welding cable resistance can be measured using the built-in cable calibration function without an additional measurement cable.

For a successful calibration, use a clean/new contact tip and ensure that the work piece surface is clean.

1.

Remove the welding gun gas nozzle.

2.

Pull back the remaining filler wire from the welding gun by pressing the wire inch backward button (if necessary, cut the wire first).

3.

Place the welding gun at a right angle (90°) to approximately 1 mm from the work piece.

4.

Move the welding gun so that the contact tip touches the work piece.

The contact between the contact tip and the workpiece must be sufficient. However, the contact tip must not be pressed too hard against the work piece.

5.

In AX Manager, go to Settings - Device settings and select Cable calibration and follow the on-screen instructions.

6.

Check the measured values in AX Manager and repeat calibration if necessary (if, for example, the calibration failed due to poor contact between the contact tip and the work piece).

7.

After calibration, lift the welding gun from the work piece, run the wire out of the contact tip and reattach the gas nozzle.
