THE PARAMETERS OF CYCLE MENU for OERLIKON Machines are :

PRG ( Pre-gas ) 0.2 to 0.5 s the time depends the length torch : 0.3 Sec. THS ( hot start duration ): OFF IHS ( hot start current ) + 30% on the power source : OFF UHS ( hot start voltage ) + 05 on the power source: OFF

DST ( down slope time ) 0.5 s : OFF The function Down Slope Time is used for Crater filling. If used time will be 0.2 Sec DSI ( down slope current ) 30% on the power source: OFF Its applicable only when DST is applicable. The Down slope Current will be set 20 % less that the regular welding current when used. DSU ( down slope voltage ) + 05 on the power source: OFF Applicable only when down slope time and Down slope current are applicable. PR (Post retract wire after welding ) 0.02 to 0.05 s : 0.05 Sec

PRS ( post retract with impulsion spray arc at the end of welding ): OFF The use of this function when we weld in short arc transfer in smooth current and speed short arc mode. POG ( post gas ) 0.5 s (Protection of the weld during its cooling ): RFP ( fine adjustment pulse ) + 05 : ( - 10 to + 10 ) : 05 0.5 Sec

TSE ( sequencer time ) 0.5 s & ISE ( sequencer current ) + 30% .( double pulse function ): OFF LA ( Arc Length) : -2 1- In pulse mode synergic without double pulse I = 359 Amps; V = 27.6 V; Wire speed = 11.3 M / Min Cycle: Pre-gas = 0.3 s ; THS ,HIS,UHS = off ; DST,DSI = off ; PR = 0.05 ; PRS = NO ; POG = 0.5 sec ; RFP = 5 ; TSE = off ; Arc length = -2 The testing was carried out with aforementioned parameters for weld bead quality & spatter. Penetration observed with the coupons was satisfactory.
