Weld Assist

Weld Assist is available for 1-MIG and pulse welding processes.

Weld Assist is a wizard-like utility for easy selection of welding parameters. The utility walks the user step-by-step through the selection of required parameters.

The currently selected welding program, including filler wire and shielding gas information, is shown and used as a basis in Weld Assist. If necessary, the welding program can be changed before continuing by selecting the default welding program and selecting a new one from the list.

1.

Go to the Weld Assist view and select 'Next'.

2.

Select:

>>   The welding joint type: T-joint / lap joint / corner joint / plate+tube joint

>>  The welding position: PA / PB / PC / PD

>>  The plate thickness (1...12 mm)

>>  The throat thickness (1...6 mm). Note: Throat thickness cannot be selected with corner joint. With lap joint, the throat thickness cannot be selected when the plate thickness is 1...3 mm.

>>  The travel speed (300...1500 mm/min)

3.

Weld Assist gives you a recommendation for these welding parameters:

>>  Welding process

>>  Gas flow rate (measured at the gun end)

>>  Wire feed speed

>>  Indicative values for welding current and voltage.

4.

Save the Weld Assist’s recommendation for welding settings by selecting 'Save'.

5.

Select the memory channel slot for saving.

6.

To use the memory channel, select 'Use' in Weld Assist, or later in the Memory channels view.

The welding parameters created with Weld Assist are still adjustable as per normal.
