A c-wave weaving pattern can be made by setting four values: the weaving theta, weaving width, weaving time and dwell time. The welding trajectory shown in the figure below is the result of overlapping the weaving motion and the taught linear trajectory. When a c-wave weaving pattern is applied, the weaving motion repeats according to the amplitude and period. Therefore, the welding period per welding distance can vary depending on the target welding speed. For example, if the welding speed is 60 cm/min (=10 mm/sec) and the weaving period is 1 second, 1 weaving period is made per 10 mm, but if the welding speed is 30 cm/min (5 mm/sec),2 weaving periods are made per 10 mm in the same weaving condition.
The values entered in the Weaving Condition Settings screen are as follows:

Weaving Theta |
The angle of the C-wave weaving pattern. It rotates from the weld path to the end point. (Unit: deg |

Weaving Width |
Enter the distance between the weaving endpoints in the y direction. |
