OPERATION
3. SHIELDING GASES
Table 4-2 lists the types of shielding gas mixtures that can be used with the
MultiPower 460 Pulse. The wire burn-off rate and synergic operation can vary
with changes in shielding gas. The TRIM knob is used to compensate for small
changes in shield gas composition.
4. SYNERGIC PULSE OPERATION
The MultiPower 460 Pulse can be converted to Pulse Mig synergic operation
by adding optional components. Synergic pulsed Mig welding means that
pulse parameters, such as pulse height, pulse width, background current and
pulse frequency, are automatically preset based on the WIRE TYPE, WIRE
DIAMETER and wire feed speed selected. These parameters are further
adjusted by the MultiPower 460 Pulse as the wire feed speed is changed by
the operator. If a TRIM adjustment has been made to the synergic
parameters, this offset will automatically track when wire speed changes.
Contact your local ESAB Sales Representative for more information.
5. NON-SYNERGIC PULSE OPERATION
The MultiPower 460 Pulse has the unique ability to Pulse MIG weld in the
NON-SYNERGIC mode. Non-synergic operation means the pulse parmeters
can be selected by choosing the WIRE TYPE, WIRE DIAMETER, and
presetting a WIRE FEED SPEED on the MultiPower 460 Pulse panel. The
pulse frequency or arc length (TRIM) is controlled by the TRIM knob. The
TRIM knob is adjustable from the minimum to maximum pulse frequency
range and
does not track with changes in wire feed speed. A change in wire
feed speed will require a re-adjustment of the arc length TRIM.
There are several unique advantages to Non Synergic pulse mig welding. The
Non -Synergic mode of operation permits pulse welding when:
a. A wire feeder without tachometer feedback is used.
b. An "Off the Arc" wire feeder is used.
c. The Mig wire type or diameter installed on the wire feeder does not
have a pulse synergic line available.
d. Pulse arc characteristics other than those preprogrammed are
desired.
By using a combination of wire feed speed and front panel TRIM setting, the
pulse Mig welding arc can be fine tuned in and stabilized. The selectable
pulse parameters are any combination of WIRE TYPE or WIRE DIAMETER
selected using the PULSE SELECTION switches. Not all combinations will
produce acceptable pulse characteristics but, in many cases, resonable
pulse arc welding stability can be achieved using WIRE TYPE, WIRE
DIAMETER, WFS, TRIM and shield gas combinations selected. This will
take some trial and error but the added flexibility and expanded pulse range
of the non-synergic mode can be beneficial for specialtiy or rare welding
applications.
Jumper Plug Installed (requires jumper change)
Synergic Mode - Pulse circuitry is looking for a 1 volt per 100 inches per
minute signal to determine the pulse parameters required to make the weld.
