As an anti-stick process, thePower Source temporarily increases the voltage at the end of welding(). After the anti-stick process,a wire stick check is performed(). If the anti-stick process failed and a wire stick is detected, themanipulator enters a hold status or performs the automatic sticking release process, depending on theanti-stick condition specified.Time required for the anti-stick process differs depending on the Power Sources. The anti-stick processtimes for different Power Sources is registered in the Power Source characteristic file. The wire checkis performed after the anti-stick process time has elapsed.Wire stick“Wire stick” refers to the contact of the wire to the workpiece as observed after the arc-OFF.Welding ends.
