DESCRIPTION
The
robot
Synergic
Pulse
panel
is
a
synergic
control
de
signed
to
be
used
with
the
MAXTRON
450
welding
pow
er
source,
MILLER
Computer
Interface,
and
the
robot
system.
The
unit
is
designed
for
Gas
Metal
Arc
Welding
(GMAW)
in
both
nonpuised
and
pulsed
dc
arc
welding
modes.
The
unit
is
shipped
ready
for
pulsed
welding.
The
panel
is
considered
a
synergic
control
because
the
parameters
which
determine
arc
power
and
arc
length
are
programmed
so
that
they
can
be
adjusted
using
a
single
control
as
opposed
to
adjusting
individual
con-
trols.
If
pulse
welding,
arc
power
parameters
are
wire
feed
speed,
background
amperage,
peak
amperage,
pulse
frequency,
and
pulse
width;
arc
length
Is
a
fine
tun
ing
of
pulse
frequency.
If
non-pulse
welding,
arc
power
parameters
are
wire
feed
speed,
arc
voltage,
and
induc
tance;
arc
length
is
a
fine
tuning
of
arc
voltage.
When
used
with
its
associated
equipment,
the
robot
Synergic
Pulse
panel
allows
the
operator
to
set
welding
parameters
for
optimum
welding
conditions
in
a
majority
of
situations
using
various
types
and
sizes
of
welding
wire
and
shielding
gases.
