and advantages
Note! When FK 4000 R or FK 4000 R US cooling units are being used, both coo-
ling units must be switched to run continuously during single-wire welding:
-
Note! In order to ensure complete gas shielding during single-wire welding, the
solenoid valve on the idling power source must be open.

direction of welding
A signal is outputted by the robot control so that welding is carried out by
one power source only. This "single-wire welding" can be carried out by either
the leading or trailing power source, depending upon the torch position and
whether the weld is an inaccessible out-of-position seam. The second power
source is idle during this time.
Parameter C-C (cooling-unit control) = "On" on both Power source "1" and
Power source "2".
