Clamp force adjustment and weld programming

    Separate thread for different issue involving the S52 controller set up.


    I am attempting to perform two tasks. The first being servo gun tip force adjustment. I believe I am following the directions correctly.

    I go to the force adjustment screen, scroll to set 1 insert 1000 N, deadman/enable/clamp, record force of 980 N in measured column, current calc., complete. I go to record for 2000N, I type 2000 in the set column, enter, deadman/enable/clamp, but i only get 980 N. Unless I go to the servo weld gun condition screen, and adjust my teach force to 2000 N am I able to get a higher force when in the tip force adjustment screen. I should not have to go back and forth between these two screens and change the teaching force should I?


    Second task, I am attempted to program a weld...


    1. I attach the weld gun, gun status 4,1, deadman/clamp/gun status. The gun connects fine


    2. Program a simple open position record,


    3. Deadman/enable/clamp. Gun closed, record position. Open gun, record position.


    When I attempt to run the program, I get weld schedule setting data is abnormal.


    If I record the step 2 with a gun status of K (workless reference). The program runs.

    Kawasaki did not produce any nice step by step guides to fully calibrate servo gun unless you were part of the commission team, as it was considered a specialist task and was usually carried out before the equipment was shipped to customer in conjunction with Servo Gun Vendor.


    I made my own small document for force calibration for E Controller (See attached).

    I think Aux function no.s are the same for S Controller, but you will see different screen layout, but I think this will help.


    This assumes you have already correctly set servo parameters and gun is operational.

    Part 1: - Fitting the tips of load meter and ensuring max force can be delivered (Do this in Teach Mode).

    Part 2: - Carry out Force calibration using Repeat Mode.


    Part 2 should also assist you with your 2nd question...…….:top:

    Attempted to execute the procedure. I wrote the simple calibration program, but when I went to run the program, I am still getting error E5005 Weld schedule setting data is abnormal.
