Basic Characteristics RAPID

The type of weld shown in Figure 4 is required. The first section is to be welded using
a voltage of 50 V and a wire feed speed of 20 m/min. After a specified distance on the
circular arc, the voltage is to be increased to 55 V. The welding speed is 30 mm/s in
each section.

The weld data values for a weld such as the one in Figure 4 are as follows:
Component weld1 weld2
weld_sched 10 10 Identity sent to the
welding equipment
weld_speed 30 mm/s 30 mm/s
weld_voltage 50 V 55 V
weld_wirefeed 20 m/min. 20 m/min.
delay_distance 0 mm 17 mm weld2 is delayed 17 mm
The weld voltage adjustment and weld current adjustment components are not
active in this example.
The weld data argument does not have any effect in the ArcL \On instruction.
