CAUTION
(1) Injury prevention from electrode or clamping force
Resistance welding machine generally uses electrode pressurizing force or clamping
force of several thousands Newtons or more.
Since this large force is dangerous, do not put hands, fingers, or any part of the body
between the electrodes, and between the clamps. Failure to observe this warning can
cause serious injury. The same warning applies to the electrodes when opening.
A guard is provided to protect against a pinch point when the upper electrode opens.
Do not put hands, fingers or any part of the body between the upper electrode and the
cylinder body. Operation should not occur unless the guard is in place.
CAUTION
(2) Wearing safety gear
Spark or spatter that is produced during welding operation may cause eye injury. Since
it is difficult to eliminate spark or spatter completely, it is necessary to put on
protective glasses, helmet, gloves and non-combustible working clothes to safeguard
against splash and spatter.
2 DENGENSHA
CAUTION
(3) Prevention from burns or fire
Spark or spatter produced during welding operation or hot parts just after being
welded cause burns. Observe the following precautions and install fire extinguishers
close to the weld working area in case of an emergency.
(a) Remove flammable substances so that Spark or spatter do not fall on them or drape
them with a non-combustible cover.
(b) Do not perform welding work near the flammable gas.
(c) Do not bring hot parts immediately after being welded, close to the flammable
materials.
(d) Do not touch the parts just after being welded with bare hands. Even if they are not
red, the temperature may be very high, causing a burn.
(e) Keep any personnel other than workers away from a place where spark or spatter is
produced.
1 - 5. Electrical safety
DANGER
(1) In order to aroid electrical shock
In order to avoid electrical shock, be sure to observe the following items:
(a) Do not touch the parts bearing electrical charges other than secondary conductor.
Failure to observe this may result in a fatal electrical shock or severe burns.
(b) Do not touch both ends of secondary conductor simultaneously. Failure to observe
this may result in a slight electrical shock.
3 DENGENSHA
(4) Grounding work
An earth terminal is provided with the equipment for safety.
A person qualified for conducting the electrical work should carry out the grounding
work according to the local laws and in house standards
(5) Provision of properly sized conductors
The customer is responsible to provide properly sized conductors for the incoming
power feed to the welder. Do not use wire of insufficient capacity or damaged/exposed
wires. Failure to observe this may cause fire due to overheated electrical wire and
electrical shock or current leakage.
(6) Electric wire connection
The connection terminal of the electrical wire should firmly be tightened and insulated.
In case of loose connection, the connection may become overheated and cause fire, and
insufficient insulation may cause electrical shock or current leakage.
DANGER
(1) Promotion of safe system start-up and shut-down
There is a possibility of causing extremely dangerous condition when the sources of
power supply, pneumatic and water are turned on without warning to a worker during
maintenance/repair work. Systems that promote safe system start-up and shutdown
should be provided for personnel safety.
DANGER
Before performing any maintenance and/or repair work, including cleaning, it must be
ensured that:
(a) The equipment has been disconnected, using a lock-out/tag-out procedure, from all
power supplies for welding, control and power.
(b) Perform plant lock-out/tag-out procedures on power sources of the equipment.
CAUTION
(c) All sources of pneumatic pressure and cooling water have been
locked-out/tagged-out.
(d) Residual pressure of all pneumatic circuits and cooling water circuits have been
relieved.
4 DENGENSHA
(4) Perform periodic maintenance
It is necessary to perform periodic maintenance and inspection of the equipment as
described in the manual.
(5) Water or pneumatic hoses
When the customer prepares to install water, or pneumatic hoses to the welder, make
sure they will sufficiently bear the pressure.
Possibilities of danger occur when these hoses have insufficient resistance to pressure or
are deteriorated or damaged, periodically perform maintenance and inspection and repair
the deteriorated or damaged parts before using the equipment.
(a) When hoses bursts or disconnected, the hose may act violently or the equipment
may operate unexpectedly.
(b) When a water hose bursts developing a leak, there is a possibility of deteriorated
insulation of the electrical circuit or deterioration of the control equipment and/or
current leakage.
1 - 7. Accident prevention
(1) Cooling water used for welding machine
Be sure to observe the following items for safe operation, to prevent accident and
maintain proper functioning of the equipment.
(a) Use water of the following quality or equivalent:
i) Rate of electric resistance: More than 5,000Ω・cm for thyristor cooling water.
ii) Less deposit in water.
iii) Ammonium ion content must be less than 1ppm.
Smaller resistance of water may cause current leakage. The cooling water with large
deposits may clog a circuit to degrade the circuit function, lowering the cooling capacity
and causing the circuit to malfunction or fail.
Cooling water containing a large amount of ammonium ions may have the possibilities
of corroding copper or copper alloy components on the cooling circuit and create water
leaks, leading to current leakage and electrical shock or electrical breakdown of welding
transformer that can causes a fire on the equipment.
(b) When the cooling water is turned off, be sure to turn off the welding power supply.
Leakage current flowing for a long time may heat and damage thyristors,
depending on quality of cooling water.
(c) Amount of cooling water prescribed in the specification of the equipment should be
provided in the following manner. It is also important to keep water temperature
prescribed in the specification in order to maintain the cooling capacity as well as
water quantity:
i) Maintain a given water pressure prescribed in the specification.
ii) Check the water flow periodically to prevent clogging & overheation conditions.
iii) Perform maintenance of cooling water circuit as prescribed in the specification.
When cooling capacity is deteriorated, the equipment may generate faults or a fire may
generate due to overheated components such as welding transformers, conductors,
electrodes, thyristors.
5 DENGENSHA
CAUTION
(2) Upper electrode falls when air supply is stopped
In general, when air supply for welding machine is stopped, the upper electrode falls
spontaneously due to deadweight. Though its falling speed is not high, there is a
possibility of occurring problems: injury may occur if hands, fingers, a part of body
are caught, or work piece be deformed if it is between the electrodes.
(3) Proper pressurizing force must be established
Proper pressurizing force must be established before passing welding current through
the electrodes. If current is passed through the electrodes when the pressurizing force
is too low, a dangerous explosion of sparks and splatter will occur, causing serious
injury or burns.
EXAMPLES:
(a) When pressure of 0.1Mpa or less has been established causing uncontrolled drifting
down of the electrode.
(b) When the squeeze time is set too short and the electrode completes the weld circuit
under load.
(4) Magnetic field effect
The resistance welding machine generates high magnetic field around the secondary
circuit when energized. This magnetic field has an influence on operation of certain type
of sensors, watch, and magnetic cards. For the same reason, a person who uses a heart
pace maker is prohibited from coming up to the resistance welding machine during
operation.
(5) Equipment fall down prevention
Equipment may fall down depending on models when an earthquake occurred. Perform
installation work of the equipment according to the instruction manual.
(6) Safety information of peripheral devices
Information about possibilities of danger of peripheral devices of this equipment such as
conveyors, feeders, robots should also be provided to workers.
(7) To use within maximum input and allowable duty factor
The welding transformer has rated input, maximum input, allowable duty factor, and so
forth. This is the heat capacity of welding transformer prescribed under the cooling
conditions (temperature and quantity of water). This specification indicates the upper
limit of operation of the welding transformer. In excess of this limit, the welding
transformer may be overheated or burnt in some cases. Since the heat capacity of
welding transformer is based predicated on being cooled, the welding transformer may
be overheated under normal operation or burnt in some cases if the cooling condition is
insufficient.
The welding machine and welding transformer should be used within prescribed
maximum input and allowable duty factor without fail. (For details, refer to the
REFERENCE “Maximum Input of Welding Transformer, allowable duty factor”.)
6 DENGENSHA
◎ Reference 1: Maximum input and allowable duty factor of welding transformers
Rated input P50, maximum input Pmax, allowable duty factor max, etc. are prescribed for
welding transformers.
Rated input P50 indicates the input kVA of the welding machine when the duty factor is
assumed to be 50%.
The heat capacity of a welding transformer can be indicated with the following formula,
using the input and duty factor.
Heat capacity = P50 (0.5)1/2
The heat capacity is constant, regardless of how the transformer is to be used. Since
the heat capacity will be the same even when the transformer is used with maximum
input Pmax, it follows that the duty factor will be restricted by a certain value, and this
value will be called the "allowable duty factor" max. That is, they will have the
following relationship.
P50 (0.5)1/2 = Pmax (max)1/2
In other words, the duty factor will have to be reduced when the welding machine or
welding transformer is to be used with a large input kVA, and when using it with the
duty factor increased, it will exceed the heat capacity of the welding transformer unless
the input kVA is lowered. This can easily be examined, if you apply values to
above-mentioned formula.
Example 1: calculation formula of the equivalent continuous current that uses the
specification
When the welding current is 11,000 A, and the duty factor is 10%:
Equivalent continuous current = 11,000 0.1 = 3,470 A
Example 2: calculation formula of the equivalent continuous current from the welding
condition
In the case of applying electrical current three times:
I1 WT1 I 2 WT2 I 3 WT 3
2 2 2
I2p = (A)
Production Cycle time (sec.) frequency (Hz)
If a transformer is to be used in excess of this equivalent continuous current, generation
of heat by this transformer will cause damages and other accidents.
I1: First current to be applied (A)
I2: Second current to be applied (A)
I3: Third current to be applied (A)
WT1: Period of time of the first current to be applied (cycle)
WT2: Period of time of the second current to be applied (cycle)
WT3: Period of time of the third current to be applied (cycle)

11. Functions
11 - 1. Current Stepper
This is a function that gradually increases current corresponding to weld count.
When weld count increases deformation and expansion of welding tip occurs. This causes weakening
of welding strength. Linear/Step-up function prevents weakening of welding strength.
Step-up increase is made step by step, and Linear-up change is made linearly towards set ratio of
increase as its target value.

This function is designed to remove dirt on the work piece or dust on the chip without
expulsion at weld-1 and stabilizing weld-2 and weld3.
In this control method, weld-1 is heat control mode with current limit to avoid expulsion,
weld-2 and weld-3 is constant current mode.
① Instructions
Please weld actual work-piece by only WELD 1 constant current mode with usual
current or more 10% and time to get actual HEAT% data. Please set this actual
HEAT% data to HEAT 1, and set CURRENT 1 data to SC CURRENT LIMIT (or
CURRENT 1/SC-LIMIT) and also set usual current to CURRENT 2.
It is a recommended that WELD 1 is short time, higher current, short COOL 1 time,
WELD 2 is usual time and current, monitor impulse setting is 2.
Please tune up setting data by test welding.
② Restrictions
If there is an up-slope, voltage compensation control applies to the up-slope, and heat
control with current limits applies to weld1. Constant current control applies to the
subsequent portions.

(3) Detection
① Detection of deterioration in cable 01
This timer unit has the analog input port for monitoring voltage to be generated on
both ends of cable 01 when the power is turned on. Based on this voltage(V1) and
welding current(Iw), resistance(R1) of cable 01 can be calculated, where R1=V1/Iw.
If the value exceeds a set value for [HI LIMIT 01], I/O output of cable resistance alarm
“ON”, and fault code indicating “OVER RESIST 01/FIX (790)” is output.
(4) Precautions
Resistance of the primary cable is detected using the hardware on the same timer board as that
used for detection of the secondary cable resistance. Therefore, the software recognizes
voltage that has been detected by the wire using the same analog port as that for the secondary
cable. In "CABLE RESISTANCE" setting, please go to switch the primary cable detection
(PRI) / secondary cable detection (SEC).
If setting "PRI (primary)" by "CABLE RESISTANCE" item in a state in which the detection
line is connected to the secondary cable, it displays the resistance values of the wrong.

12 - 3. Fault items and counter measures
(1). 100 Excessively low current (CURRENT LOW) 4bit code “1”
(a) Description
This indicates that the lower current limit is lower than the set value.
It suggests that the application of current selected at the menu for monitor current application
was excessively low.
(b) Detection
It is inspected after the completion of welding current control at constant current control and
its notification is made after the sequence is completed. This will not function at voltage
compensation control.
(c) Check
① Check-1
Isn’t the lower allowable value too small?
It is generally set at approximately 10%.
② Check-2
Isn’t the current setting over the maximum capacity of the welding machine?
As the maximum current varies due to changes in power supply voltage and load,
consider the worst condition. Check heat ratio with the monitor display, and if it is
close to 94% it is its capacity limit.
③ Check-3
Does this error occur at the latter half of the current stepper?
It be exceeding the capacity of the welding machine as the increment ratio of each step
is large. Set current setting value for the final step so that there is some allowance for
the capacity.
④ Check-4
Isn’t the duration of current application too short?
The shorter the duration of current application is, the lower the constant current
accuracy against external disturbance. Set the allowable value slightly larger.
⑤ Check-5
Make sure there are no damage and soiling of the tip, distortion and soiling of work,
deterioration of secondary cable, loosening of each secondary parts, and insufficient
pressure.
Essentially, a mechanical improvement is required, but if the error is mild it may be
improved by making the up-slope time longer or conducting a preliminary current
application by applying current twice.
⑥ Check-6
The current feedback signal is transmitted to the timer board in the robot controller via
the CT in the contactor unit, firing board and firing cable.
Make sure there is no bad connection in between the two ends.
⑦ Check-7
Isn’t the up-slope setting 1 cycle?
Up-slope setting 1 cycle may generate a magnetic bias phenomenon in the welding
transformer to cause this error.
At the same time, it may cause excessively low voltage and insufficient current
application time errors. Change the up-slope setting to about 3 cycles. Moreover, if the
upper current limit in the setting items is set at a value appropriate for the capacity of
the welding machine, the initial up-slope current value becomes slightly larger to be
effective against the magnetic bias phenomenon.
58 DENGENSHA
(2). 150 Excessively high current (CURRENT HIGH) 4bit code “2”
(a) Description
This indicates that the welding current is larger than the set value for the upper current limit. It
suggests that the current application selected at the monitor current application was
excessively high.
(b) Detection
It is inspected after the completion of welding current control at constant current control and
its notification is made after the sequence is completed. This will not function at voltage
compensation control.
(c) Check
① Check-1
Isn’t the upper allowable value too small?
It is generally set at approximately 10%.
② Check-2
Isn’t the current setting below 20% of the current control range of the welding
machine?
The lower controllable limit is 20%. Essentially it is necessary to lower the capacity of
the welding machine by another rank.
③ Check-3
Isn’t the welding machine used at its full capacity?
If the error can be avoided by lowering the current setting a little, this is the cause.
Lower the current setting or increase the welding machine capacity.
④ Check-4
The current feedback signal is transmitted to the timer board in the robot controller via
the CT in the contactor unit, firing board and firing cable.
Make sure there is no bad connection in between the two ends.
(3). 200 Excessively low heat ratio (HEAT% LOW) 4bit code “3”
(a) Description
This indicates that the heat ratio is lower than the set heat ratio lower limit. It suggests that the
current application selected at the monitor current application items for heat ratio was too low.
(b) Detection
It is inspected after the completion of welding current control at constant current control and
its notification is made after the sequence is completed. This will function both at constant
current control and voltage compensation control.
(c) Check
① Check-1
Isn’t this set value close to the actual heat ratio (check at the monitor Sequence M) of
the welding current?
If this alarm is not used, set it at 20%.
② Check-2
Isn’t the secondary circuit shorted somewhere?
Check, in particular, whether the kickless cable is shorted or not.
59 DENGENSHA
(4). 250 Excessively high heat ratio (HEAT% HIGH) 4bit code “4”
(a) Description
This indicates that the heat ratio is larger than the set heat ratio upper limit.
It indicates that the current application selected at the monitor current application items was
too high for the heat ratio.
(b) Detection
It is inspected after the completion of welding current control at constant current control and
its notification is made after the sequence is completed.
This will function both at constant current control and voltage compensation control.
(c) Check
① Check-1
Isn’t this set value close to the actual heat ratio (check at the monitor display) of the
welding current?
Set the value so that it is about 20% higher than the value shown in the monitor.
② Check-2
Isn’t the welding power source voltage abnormally low during current application?
Check whether the line voltage is lowered due to simultaneous application of current
and whether the set current is appropriate.
③ Check-3
If this value is set at 100% it will be the same as the conventional full-heat (full-wave)
alarm. If this alarm still appears after this, it means that the welding condition is above
the capacity of the welding machine. Increase the capacity. It is considered that the
transformer allowance ratio is insufficient.
④ Check-4
Make sure there are no damage and soiling of the tip, distortion and soiling of work,
deterioration of secondary cable, loosening of each secondary parts, and insufficient
pressure.
Essentially, a mechanical improvement is required, but if the error is mild it may be
improved by making the up-slope time longer or conducting a preliminary current
application by applying current twice.
(5). 400 Lowered power source voltage (LINE VOLT LOW) 4bit code “5”
(a) Description
This indicates that the welding power source voltage is lower than the set value for the power
source voltage lower limit.
(b) Detection
It is inspected during the welding current control and its notification is made after the
completion of the sequence.
(c) Check
① Check-1
Isn’t the set allowable value too small?
If current application overlaps (made simultaneously) with other welding machines,
the voltage may be lowered considerably. Check the operating voltage at the monitor
display and set the allowable value so that there will be some allowance above that
value.
60 DENGENSHA
② Check-2
Isn’t the up-slope setting 1 cycle?
Up-slope setting 1 cycle may generate a magnetic bias phenomenon in the welding
transformer to cause this error. At the same time, it may cause excessively low voltage
and insufficient current application time errors.
Change the up-slope setting to about 3 cycles. Moreover, if the upper current limit in
the setting items is set at a value appropriate for the capacity of the welding machine,
the initial up-slope current value becomes slightly larger to be effective against the
magnetic bias phenomenon.
(6). 410 Increased power source voltage (LINE VOLT HIGH) 4bit code “6”
(a) Description
This indicates that the welding power source voltage is higher than the set value for the power
source voltage upper limit.
(b) Detection
It is inspected during the welding current control and its notification is made after the
completion of the sequence.
(c) Check
① Check-1
Isn’t the set allowable value too small?
Check the operating voltage at the monitor display and set the allowable value so that
there will be some allowance above that value.
② Check-2
Is the value for the standard power source correctly set?
Set it so that it is the same value as the primary side tap voltage of the control
transformer in the contactor unit.
③ Check-3
Is the hardware gain “LINE VOLT GAIN” that makes circuit correction for the timer
board set correctly?
The adjustment value upon shipment is marked on the board. Set it to that value.
- Adjustment method when the value is unknown -
Measure the welding power source voltage with such instrument as a tester.
To minimize voltage drop upon current application, set the current setting to the
minimum current value (approximately 2,000A - 5,000A) and then apply current.
Adjust hardware gain “LINE VOLT GAIN” so that the value on the monitor will be
the same as the value obtained with the tester.

If welding current of approximately 5,000A is running it can be deemed that the
current feedback circuit is defected and the firing circuit and thyristor are
sound.
Measure voltage at the welding transformer secondary side with such
instrument as a tester. If there is current of approximately AC 5V on the
transformer secondary side while LED1 and LED2 are lit, it can be deemed that
the firing circuit and the thyristort are sound.
