8.1. Arc sensing function
This function is used for tracking the welding path and can be thus used when the weaving function needs to be used for perform arc welding on thick materials. When the function is used, the welding work can be performed accurately along the welding path even when there is an error in the welding path caused by tolerance in the workpiece or even when there is deformation on the workpiece.
When the welding work is defective because of the uneven position of the workpiece, the touch sensing function can be used to accurately find the welding position and track the welding path, which will ensure defect-free quality of welding.
In order to use this function, the weaving function must be used and the data input setting for the sensing function should be set as “Enable.” Refer to [1.3 Arc welding application condition setting] for more details about the data input setting.
