One of our OTC DAIHEN welding engineers suggests the following setup on your DP400 welding power source / FD-V6 robot: Wire diameter: 0.056" Welding current; 290A Welding voltage: 28V Travel speed: 16 inches-per-minute Welding mode: Straight DC This should result in a true, 3/8" fillet size Any further questions or additional guidance, contact 888-OTC-ROBO for our welding applications technicians. They can also be contracted ($) for on-site welding applications work.
