CARRIAGE CONTROL
A highly sophisticated, yet easy to use, multi-processor based control that commands
the carriage drive motor, the wire feeder, the vertical torch slide, the power source contactor
signal, the shielding gas solenoid, the water cooler (optional) and interfaces with the Oscillator
Control, and the coolant flow switch to provide a fully automated and programmable welding
system.
CARRIAGE WELD SPEED (Mean Setting):
This rotary switch increases (clockwise adjustment) or decreases (counter-clockwise
adjustment) the mean setting of the Carriage Weld Speed. This is referred to as the ‘mean
setting’ because there is a trim override adjustment on the remote pendant which allows the
operator to fine tune the Actual Carriage Weld Speed to their liking by increasing or decreasing
the weld speed by six (6) increments of 0.22 inches/minute [0.56 cm/minute]. The main screen
displays both the mean setting of the Carriage Weld Speed and the Actual Carriage Weld
Speed (mean setting +/- the trim override setting) in the units of choice (either inches or
centimeters per minute). Speed adjustments can be changed at any time before or during
operation and will take effect immediately. While in programming mode this switch allows the
