(1)
(1) Run Touch & Retract (Automatic torch positioning)

In order for the ACC to start up optimally (at the beginning of welding), it is impor-
tant to ensure that there is an approximately correct stand-off distance between
the torch and the workpiece. The distance can be adjusted with the ‘Touch &
retract’ function: The torch is moved by means of the ACC axis towards the work-
piece until it has contact with the workpiece. As soon as the electrode touches
the workpiece, the downward motion is immediately stopped and an upward
(retracting) motion is started. Once the ‘ACC T&R distance is reached, the ACC
is stopped.
IMPORTANT! The ACC function is only available for standard or pulsed mode,
but not in CMT mode.
(2) ACC inverted
ACC working direction: When swivelling the torch into overhead position, it is
necessary to invert the operating direction of the ACC, as otherwise the weld-
ment and the electrode would collide. The operating direction is reversed by
tapping the checkbox.
ACC Parameter Description Unit
ACC T&R speed Movement speed of the ACC axis while perform- cm/min
ing T&R function.
ACC T&R distance Retracting distance of the ACC axis after contac- mm
ting the workpiece.
ACC direction invert If this parameter is set to “Yes”, the movement
direction of the ACC axis is inverted.
ACC Gain During the welding process, this is the gain of the %
preset ACC axis.
ACC start delay Delay time for ACC to start, after welding axis
starts movement.
ACC Up distance at end Retracting distance of the ACC axis after welding mm
is finished

(1) OSC centering

Activates the oscillation centering function. This function makes it possible to
position the welding torch in the centre of the seam.
After the operation starts, the oscillation unit moves to the left until the torch
touches the workpiece. Next, the direction of motion is reversed and the torch
moves to the right, again until it touches the workpiece. The centre position is
computed from the left / right positions, and the torch is positioned there.
OSC Parameter Description Unit
OSC Center offset The oscillation center offset parameter can be used to mm
shift the center of the oscillation movement to the left
or to the right.
OSC Center speed Movement speed of the oscillation axis while perform- cm/min
ing oscillation centering function.
OSC - Curve Parameter to define a dependency between welding axis move-
ment and oscillation axis movement. Curves are described on
the following page.
OSC Path left Oscillation path (distance) from center position to the mm
left end.
OSC Path right Oscillation path (distance) from center position to the mm
right end.
OSC Speed left Oscillation speed from left to right. cm/min
OSC Speed right Oscillation speed from right to left. cm/min
OSC Dwell left Dwell time of the oscillation unit at the left limit. s
OSC Dwell right Dwell time of the oscillation unit at the right limit. s
OSC Start delay Delay time for oscillation unit to start after welding s
axis starts movement.

OSC setup page OSC Parameter for ramp gradient. Relates to the acceleration and
(continued) acceleration factor braking properties of the oscillation when approaching and leav-
ing a reversal point. Factor is multiplied by the adjusted ramps
(acceleration / deceleration).
Setting range: 1 - 50
Example:
Pos acc ramp: 10.0 cm/s²
Pos dec ramp: 15.0 cm/s²
OSC Acceleration factor: 2.0
Acceleration: 20.0 cm/s²
Deceleration: 30.0 cm/s²
OSC curves Linear

The oscillation is started after the welding axis has started the movement
and the OSC start delay time has elapsed.
Rectangle:
The welding axis is stopped during the oscillation movement and is only
moving during the dwell times.
Triangle:
The oscillation is started after the welding axis starts moving.
The welding axis moves during the whole oscillation movement.

This page shows a large variety of parameters for referencing the selected axis. The
displayed buttons at the bottom of the screen are the same as in the previous windows.
IMPORTANT! The currently selected axis is always shown in the headline of the screen
in line “Axis selection”. Be careful, that no axis gets referenced unintentionally, or that a
wrong axis gets referenced.
Tap the “Reference” button (1), to reference the selected axis.
Homing acceleration = Axis acceleration for referencing movement. Typical val-

1 ues are 10 [cm/s2] for longitudinal, or 10 [°/s2] for circular axes.
Homing speed = Speed with which the axis approaches the limit switch - symbo-
2 lized by area (A). Typical values are 25 - 100 [cm/s] for longitudinal, or 12 [°/s]
for circular axes (depending on diameter and travelling distance).
Speed with which the axis moves away from the limit switch - Area (A). Typical
3 values are 5 [cm/min] for longitudinal, or 1 [°/s] for circular axes.
RefPos permanent - Axis position after referencing movement is finished. This
4 position serves as actual value for the axis.

Axis settings Typical referencing methods
(continued)
1) Limit switch - plus Axis moves to the positive limit switch. Subsequently it
moves to the end position (Homing target position) 5 .
2) Limit switch - minus Axis moves to the negative limit switch. Subsequently it
moves to the end position (Homing target position) 5 .
3) Current Pos = 0 Axis does not move, value 4 (Ref Pos permanent) will be
set as new actual value for the axis. Subsequently the axis
moves to 5 (Homing target position).
Example for referencing method “Limit switch plus”
Axis moves with acceleration a = 10 cm/s2, until the homing speed v = 100 cm/min is
reached, to the positive limit switch (A). The slower the limit switch is approached, the
more precisely the switching process can take place. After triggering the limit switch,
the direction of travel will be reversed to release the limit switch again (5 cm/min in our
example).
v = 100 cm/min
a = 10 cm/s2
v = 5 cm/min
s = 100 mm s2 = 0 mm
(A)
After the limit switch has switched, value 4 (Ref Pos permanent - in our example s =
100 mm) will be taken over as actual position. Subsequently the axis will be set to posi-
tion 5 (Homing target position - in our example s2 = 0 mm).
Example for referencing method “Act. pos = 0”
When referencing with this method, value 4 (Ref Pos permanent) is taken over directly
as the actual position and the axis is subsequently positioned to Pos. 5 (Homing target
position).
