that

contactor
is

at

and
the wire

(see
Section

2.
A
voltage
command
signal
is
sent
to
the
welding
power
source
that
ramps
up
from
the
value
of
the
burnback
setting.
This
increasing
voltage
com
mand

lasts
until
100
milliseconds
after
the
wire
is
freed.
3.
The
stick
check
circuitry
is
enabled
after
the
weld
current
relay
opens
at
the
end
of
the
weld.
There
is
a
delay
of
approximately
8
milliseconds.
The
welding
power
source
contactor
pulses
on
for
a
50
to
75
millisecond
time
span.
The
weld
current
relay
closes.
During
this
pulse
of
the
contactor,
a
signal
is
sent
to
the
robot
control
indicating
that
current
is
flowing.
6.
The
robot
looks
for
a
20
millisecond
period
of
time
that
the
weld
current
relay
remains
open.
This
in
dicates
that
the
wire
is
free
of
the
weld
and
the
ro
bot
can
continue.

If
the

sees
the

close,
it
cycles
through
another
50
millisec

of
pulsing
the

The

continues
to
ramp
up.
8.
This
process
of
