SERVO GUN versus AIR GUN
1. Setup is different and very important
2. Absolute system so cap change is very
critical
3. Robot controls the gun
4. Robot controls the pressure
5. Robot does the equalizing
6. Weld Spot programmed with stationary
tip touching the metal
7. Pressure Table and Distance Table
8. Spot command looks different
1 : L P[5:w12345] 400mm/sec CNT100
: SPOT[SD=31,P=1,S=30,ED=31] ;

9. Termination type for a weld spot should

be CNT100
