Weld Run-In
Am I setting the weld run-in correctly here? Fanuc 100ID with a R450 power supply. Not new to robots, but totally new to trying “ramping” and “Run-In”

Predator 212 w/ stock head 25mm intake.
.265 Cam
Super 30 series juggernaut
10-60 gearing
Pro taper bars
19” sunf tires
BNB +4 fork
Nibbi 22mm round slide
*** Looking to build it up further with a new shred head (unsure which one to go with)
**** Would I benefit on low and top end with 12/60 gearing?
*** Chain tensioner recommendations?
Feeling lost. Have a circular weld with a servo driven turn table. Robot stays in a fixed position during the weld. Problem #1 is the weld start where it burns over the top and becomes scrap. Unsure how to use Ramping.
Settings:
-Rapid Arc with .045 wire.
-375 WFS
-1.05 Trim
- Negative 2 UltimArc.
The main struggle here is the weld starts always burning over the top of the plug seat being welding. Cover plug is being welded to is roughly 4mm thick.
I’ll try to lay out the details simple as I can.
- welding robot
-turn table servo driven to rotate the part as the robot welds stationary.
I’m using coordinated motion and I’m struggling like crazy to get the weld to stop burning in on the start. Have tried current ramping, arc start run in and arc start pre time. Still struggling. Anybody have tips to try?
First mini bike and first build. It’s hungry for power. So far, I have done;
-22mm mikuni carb
-exhaust
-22lb valve springs
-Billet Flywheel
-gov removal
-30 series torque converter
I debate on putting a juggernaut driver on the TC. Anxious to get the next few goodies in though. Hot 265 cam, billet rod, 26lb valve springs. Maybe even chromoly push rods. Running #36 pilot jet and #110 on the main jet. Seems to be doing good. Also need a good tach so I can actually know my rpm’s vs guessing it.
