I working on a motorman nx100 with arm EA1400N miller deltaweld 452, on all my weld programs I started to have a lot of spatter stuck to my parts, this happen out of nowhere
please let me know if any of you had the same problem before
I made copies and I'm adjusting weld programs by reducing wire feed to try to minimize the spatter but I don't see why o should be doing all that if my programs were working fine before

Hi , weldsplatter ! the bane of many welders lives !
Caused by a multitude of issues
* your accountant has found a cheaper welding wire .
* some body has opened that big door next to the system and shielding gas is now suspect.
* accountant has found a cheaper source of base material and cheaper steel is now part of the manufacturing component process.
* mains voltage is suspect at certain times of the day as load goes up and voltage (heat) goes down.
Following Unlikely but look any way .
* shielding gas mixture is suspect.
* welder connections (earth) are suspect .
* m/s has rolled mill scale and not clean ( note - pure Co2 shielding gas is blamed for splatter in many venues ,however, clean / rumbled / pickled m/s has reduced splatter even with Co2) -
Check to make sure that all of the boards inside the welder are working properly. You might have a blown board. AutoDeltaWeld has not been made for many years now.... and if dust gets inside the boards it may cause one of the boards to blow.

You are having spatter that means you don't have enough voltage to burn that wire, thus it is creating unstable weld puddle and saptter are exploding out of it.
I order to reduce that keep trying to reduce your current and simulteneously increasing voltage and try to find happy medium for it.
This parameter and happy medium can very with quality of welding wire, Quality of material to be weld, it's thickness and geometry.
Thank You.

thanks for all of your input, I'm currently trying to get back to setting all my weld parameters and creating new weld files to be used.
I'm also having maintenance checking the power supply to verify that its working properly before I start going crazy making all types of adjustments to make it to work
and yes found out we using cheaper wire and software updated to motorman controller, so yes I have a lot to focus all at once
