Wizard Lab
This welding mode allows complex (non-standard) welding cycles to be carried out with a series of steps. Each step is characterised by a current ramp,
a step and a particular current type (DC, AC or pulsed).
Wizard Lab is configured in three stages:
- welding cycle sequence (number of steps, repetition loops, etc.)
- each step's parameter settings (ramp and current type, etc.)
- specific, advanced parameter settings
STEP: each step can be customised by changing the current type (DC or AC), the current form (standard or pulsed) as well as the ramp up to the
set welding current (see «Setting a STEP» section). Each step can be fully customised.
Welding cycle: a welding cycle consists of a Pre-Gas stage, one or more welding steps (see «Welding Cycle Definition» section) and a Post-Gas
stage.
Loops: there are two different loops (see «Definition of the welding cycle» section):
• The welding cycle's inner loop (B1). Within the cycle, the user can choose to make one or more loops (repeating two or more of the welding steps);
the user can even carry out infinite loops depending on the application, for example, AC MIX welding, which repeats two DC and AC steps.
• Cycle loops (B2). The user can choose to repeat the cycle (excluding the Pre-Gas and Post-Gas phases) once or several times (or even infinitely).
They can also adjust the delay period between two repeated welding steps if necessary (e.g. MULTITACK welding, which repeats the TACK welding
cycle with a delay period between two points as long as the trigger is held down).
