SRVO-079: Stroke exceeded during press

Spot-welding servo gun alarm: during squeeze (SPOT or PRESS_MOTN), the gun tip traveled past its stroke limit - the gun over-extended, usually because the tips have worn down far enough that 'closed' is farther than the limit allows.

What it means

Spot-welding servo gun alarm: during squeeze (SPOT or PRESS_MOTN), the gun tip traveled past its stroke limit - the gun over-extended, usually because the tips have worn down far enough that 'closed' is farther than the limit allows.

Common causes

Ranked by what technicians most often find, most likely first.

  1. Worn gun tips - the gun must close farther than its configured stroke to make contact.
  2. Incorrect master position or close stroke limit values for the gun.

How to fix it

  1. Check the gun's master position and close stroke limit settings; correct them if wrong.
  2. If the settings are right, install new tips so the gun operates within its stroke during pressuring.
  3. Chronic recurrence means tip-change scheduling and tip-wear compensation deserve a look.
