Electrode Change Interval
This software function allows you to track the number of arc ignitions triggered.
See how easy it is to set up this function.
The electrode change interval plays a crucial role in quality assurance and process monitoring during orbital welding. It enables precise control of the welding current, and by measuring and regulating arc ignitions, the operator can ensure that the welding process is carried out with optimal parameters. The result is consistent and high-quality welds.
The electrode change interval allows for measuring the number of arc ignitions triggered. Furthermore, the operator is automatically reminded when the preset number has been reached. This ensures compliance with regulations or Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) for tungsten replacement. The electrode change interval is particularly important in industries with strict quality requirements, such as aerospace or pharmaceuticals.
How it works
-
Activate the electrode change notification in the basic settings of any welding program.
-
Define the number of welds – according to your WPS.
-
With each ignition, the counter decreases until a warning appears at zero. This prompts the operator to change the electrode and reset the counter.
-
Save these values in the program. To do this, select Quick Save and confirm with “Yes”.
