I-CAR · August 15, 2018 · Subaru
Summary
This article clarifies Subaru's spot welding specifications, explaining that the term 'cyc' refers to electrical wave cycles. In North America (60 Hz), 25 cycles equates to 400 milliseconds or 0.4 seconds of welding time.
What to do on the job
Convert Subaru's 'cyc' weld time specification to milliseconds or seconds (e.g., 25 cyc = 400 ms or 0.4 seconds) and manually enter this value into the spot welder settings.
How to use it
Use this document to justify manual spot welder programming and setup times on estimates. It serves as official OEM clarification for converting 'cyc' to standard time units (milliseconds/seconds) to ensure proper weld penetration and quality, and highlights the importance of documenting these machine settings in the repair file.
