Once the PowerWave 455-R has been selected. The characteristics of the PowerWave 455-R are automatically

set in the robot. The system puts the Powerwave on-line in the DeviceNet

menu. DeviceNet communication ensures that welding parameters set in

the robot are accurate. All setups are done from the robot teach pendant.

Welder Setup is Automatically performed at power-up.

• Background Current: Controls bead shape and provides minimum heat to maintain a liquid ball (T7-T1)

• Peak Current: Controls arc length and promotes good fusion (T5-T6)

• Tailout: Reduces puddle agitation, eliminates premature shorts, and smoothes bead (time between T6-T7)
