10.5.4.2. GUNSEA
The GUNSEA statement is used to detect the reference location and abrasion location to measure the abrasion of the electrode of the servo gun. When this function is executed, the servo gun moves from the start location to the location where two tips touch each other. When the pressure designated in the command statement is reached during the movement, the location will be used for calculating the abrasion.
Explanation | Measure servo gun abrasion (GUNSEA) | ||
Syntax | GUNSEA GN=<Gun number>, SE=<search num.>, PR=<gun pressure>, SP=<Search speed>, MG=<Multi gun number>, MP=<Multi gun pressurization force> | ||
Parameter | Gun number/ Multi gun number | Servo gun for welding operation / Servo gun number to execute gun search simultaneously | 1~8 |
Search number | 1 : gun search 1 movement, 2 : gun search 2 movement | 1~2 | |
Gun pressure / Multi gun pressurization force | Ordered pressure / Multi gun pressurization force | 50~999 | |
Search speed | Operating speed of the gun axis during search operation | 1.0~250.0 (mm/sec) | |
Example | Ex) When you set the pressurization force to 100, 200 and 300kgf respectively for gun 1, 2 and 3 while executing the gun search. GUNSEA GN=1, SE=1, PR=100, MG=2,3,MP=200,300 | ||
l For the initial use, the tip without abrasion needs to be mounted and the reference location needs to be recorded. This is called gun search reference location recording.
l For the gun search reference record, the condition setting/application condition/gun search reference location record need to be shifted to the ON state, before executing the GUNSEA command. The location detected then will be used as the reference value for measuring the abrasion.
l When a certain value is set for the moving electrode abrasion/overall abrasion (%) ratio in the servo gun parameter, it is called ‘single gun search 1 environment’. In that condition, only the gun search 1 is to be executed to calculate the abrasion both at the moving and the fixed electrodes. If the gun search is executed in the single gun search 1 environment, an error will occur.
l When 0 is set for the moving electrode abrasion/overall abrasion (%) ratio in the servo gun parameter, it means that in that condition, both the gun search 1 and 2 can be executed. In this case, the gun searches 1 and 2 need to be executed sequentially to calculate the abrasion.
l GUNSEA step must be recorded in the open location of 20mm or more from the abrasion detection target location.
