Arc welding events

Program events arc welding

Event	Description	Panel	Settings
Seam search	Activates and defines the motions to identify a seam location. The event is of an older method that remains available to support legacy data and customizations that are using it.		The reference to determine the search direction(s): Base or TCP. The approach velocity of sensing. The retraction velocity after sensing. The number of sensing directions. The sensing direction, for each direction individually. A comment. The offset position of the sensing approach. The offset of the retract position after sensing. The maximum distance to sense the workpiece.
Arc on	Turns on the welding arc.		The predefined welding program number. Activate a weave pattern motion along the in-process toolpath. The frequency of the weave pattern. The amplitude of the weave pattern. The left dwell of the weave pattern. The right dwell of the weave pattern.
Arc off	Turns off the welding arc.
Touch connect	Assigns the weld seam calibration to the welding operation(s).		Identifier to connect a seam calibration with a group of welding operations. At download of the program, the system collects the number of calibration points with that ID. Apply touch ID to next circular via point is a flag to assign a touch ID also to a computed circular via point.
Seam tracking	Activates the seam tracking with the 2D/3D built in laser.
