1.2 Using the Controller

The controller can be said to consist of two units; the working memory and the

weld data memory.

WELD DATA

MEMORY

WORKING

MEMORY

DOWN LOAD

SAVED

The working memory is used to store a complete set of welding parameters, which

can then be saved in the weld data memory.

The welding process is always controlled by the contents of the working memory.

This also makes it possible to download a set of welding parameters from the weld

data memory to the working memory.

Note that the working memory always contains the last set of welding parameters

that were used, in other words the working memory is never empty or ”initialized”.

2 MIG Welding

2.1 The Expression ”Wire”

With MIG welding, the electrode is wound on a reel (or drum). In this manual. an

electrode of this type is referred to as wire.

2.2 Synergetic Welding

Each combination of wire type, wire diameter and gas mix requires a unique

relationship between wire feed speed and voltage (arc length) to attain a stable arc.

ARISTO 2000 has a number of pre--programmed “synergetic lines”.

When you choose a pre--programmed synergetic line corresponding to your wire

type, wire diameter and gas mix, you need only set a wire feed speed appropriate for

your welding piece. The voltage is adjusted automatically in accordance with your

choice of pre--programmed synergetic line, making it much easier to quickly find

correct welding parameters.

The synergetic function for welding current may be used with MIG welding. The user

sets the values for:

S method

S wire type

S shielding gas

S wire dimension

Based on these basic settings and the value specified for wire feed speed, a

microprocessor works out suitable values for the various welding technical

parameters. These parameter types are dependent on the chosen welding method

(dip/spray or pulse). For more information, see ”Weld data settings” under

section 2.4.

It is possible to weld with wire and shielding gas combinations other than those

available on the controller. However, the user will have to set values for one or more

parameters.

2.3 Basic Settings

Basic settings are made from the controller’s main menu.

1. Welding process = MIG

2. Welding method

For MIG welding, you can choose between two welding methods.

S Dip/Spray

S Pulse

3. Wire type. shielding gas. wire dimension

The following tables show the possible wire type, shielding gas and wire

dimension combinations that can be used with the synergetic function for

welding current.

2.4 Weld Data Settings

The following is a summary of the welding parameters that affect the welding

process when using MIG welding methods.

With the power source in synergetic mode it is only necessary to set the wire feed

speed.

The voltag e parameter may also be adjusted if required.

When the wire feed speed is adjusted, the synergetic control system automatically

adjusts certain other parameters to compensate. The parameters in italics remain

constant and are unaffected by changes in the wire feed speed.

Method DIP/SPRAY Method PULSE

S Wire feed speed S Wire feed speed

S Voltage S Voltage

S Inductance S Pulse current

S Regulator type S Pulse time

S Pulse frequency

S Background current

S Ka

S Ki

A table of parameter setting ranges is given in the APPENDIX under section 10.

2.5 Start and stop data

The following settings affect the start and stop cycles for MIG welding.

Under the respective headings, are all settings that affect the start cycle and welding

stop.

Start settings Stop settings

S Gas pre--flow S Gas post--flow

S Creep start

S Hot start

S Hot start time

S Increase wire feed speed

(2 m/min unless otherwise

stated)

S Increase voltage (only

when

not in synergetic

mode)

S Burnback time

S Shake--off pulse (only for DIP/SPRAY

when not in synergetic mode)

S Crater fill

S Crater fill time

S Final wire feed speed

S Final voltage (only when not in

synergetic mode)

There are three different functions that are designed to meet special requirements at

the start and end of the welding. These functions and auxiliary settings are made in

the start data menu and stop data menu.

-- 1 5 --

bu12d04a

Hot Start

The hot start function is selected when a hotter arc is necessary at cycle start, so

that welding faults are avoided at the beginning of a weld.

Crater Fill

The crater fill function makes it easier to avoid porosity and crater cracking in the

weld metal when you stop welding.

Creep Start

The creep start function gives a lower wire feed speed and can be used to maintain

the best possible start. The creep start speed is 50% of the set wire feed speed. The

function is activated upon delivery.

TIP! The hot start, creep start and crater fill functions can be switched on or off using

the ”soft buttons,“ see the section on ”MIG” configuration under section 9.2.4.2.

The start data and stop data menus are used to set the values for the following

parameters.

Gas Pre-- and Post--Flow

The parameters gas pre--flow and gas post--flow specify the length of time that the

gas continues to flow before and after welding.

Burnback Time

Burnback time is used to adjust the length of the electrode after welding.

2.6 Gas Purge. Cold Wire Feed and 2--Stroke/4--Stroke

The following three functions can be controlled with soft button (as can functions

such as hot start). For a description of how this is done, see “MIG configuration”

under section 9.2.4.2.

Gas purge

The gas purge function is used to fill the gas hoses with shielding gas, or for

measurement of gas flow. When the button is pressed, gas purging starts; when it is

released, gas purging stops.

Cold Wire Feed

This function is used to feed wire out manually when fitting a new reel of wire. When

the button is pressed, the wire is fed forward; when the button is released, wire feed

stops.

2--Stroke or 4--Stroke

During MIG welding the torch button can function in two ways/ 2--stroke or 4--stroke.

The switching function for 2--stroke/4--stroke can be set on one of the soft buttons.

The difference between 2--stroke and 4--stroke is illustrated in the following figures,

along with other functions of the start and stop cycles.

Start

Using 2--stroke, any gas pre--flow starts when the torch trigger is pressed in (1).

Welding data then rises to the set values or any pre--set Hot start values. When the

torch trigger is released (2), any crater fill is started. After this the values for welding

data return to zero and any gas post--flow completes the welding sequence.

TIP! If the torch trigger is pressed in again during crater fill, you can extend the

welding by the crater fill’s final data at any time (the dashed line). The crater fill can

also be interrupted when the torch trigger is quickly pressed in and then released

during the crater fill.

During 4--stroke, gas pre--flow starts when the torch trigger is pressed in (1). When

the torch trigger is released (2), welding data goes up to the pre--set values. When

the torch trigger is pressed in again (3) any crater filling is started. After this the

values for welding data go down to stop data.

Any gas post--flow starts when the torch trigger is released (4).

TIP! The crater fill stops when the torch trigger is released (4). If the contact is

instead pressed in for a longer time, welding continues with the crater fill’s final data

(the dashed line).

From the settings menu, you can set values for various welding parameters, such as

voltage and wire feed speed. By activating the synergetic function, many of these

settings will be handled by a microprocessor.

We begin by pressing the MENU button to display the main menu. Press the SET

button to view the settings menu. We’ll now make the following settings:
