Users can use various welders through the Hi5 system. The relevant functions for editing the characteristics of the welders will be provided. Through the following procedure, it will be possible to access the screen designed for editing the characteristics.
First of all, when a welder needs to be used, the user can set it through the ‘Welder Number’ item by selecting the 『[F2]: System』 → 『5: Initialize』 → 『3: Usage Setting』. When the user selects 『[F1]: Welder』, then the screen for editing the conditions of the relevant welder will be displayed.

As individual welder condition screens provide editing functions relevant to specific welders, the editing items will vary depending on welders. The following items are the common items that can be edited on the condition screens of welders.
The items that can be edited commonly are as shown below.
(1) Welder Number: [ 1]
Display current setting welding number. Through the relevant item, the currently selected welder and its number can be checked. Changing the information is possible only through the ‘usage setting’ screen.
(2) Model type
Record the model name of welder. Basically, the model name of welder supported by our company is written.
(3) Description
Record the welder description. Basically, the name of welder maker is written.
(4) Stick detection time: [0.2] sec (Range: 0.1 ~ 10.0)
Once welding is completed, wire stick will be inspected during the set time.
(5) ARC OFF detection time: [ 0.6] sec (Range: 0.0 ~ 10.0)
Set the reference time for the arc off that could occur in the middle of arc welding. If the arc stays turned off for longer than a specific duration, the state will be recognized as arc off. If the value is small, arc ignition failure would occur frequently. On the contrary, if the set value is too large, the time during which the robot moves and the wire keeps being fed will increase even after arc is turned off, which will cause the robot to move more and the wire to be fed more even after arc is turned off.
