Standard Welding Functions

Standard Welding Functions

Welding Patterns

Patterns can be adjusted in Input-Mode  by key  



For V-shape and corner seams

Flexible patterns with or without dwell times  

   

High frequency movement with different dwell times

       

Special Weaver pattern
  
for strongest seams.



For standard surfacing  

Left or right side welding, along the input line, with computer controlled adjustment.
Multiple Area welding with different parameters. For every area, a different program can be used.
For repeated works, all Teach-In-Points are memorized with separate programs (P 0-20).


For deep Wear Out  

 

W  i  t  h    c h a n g i n g   w e a v e r   d i s t a n c e s   f r o m  layer to layer.


For Hard Facing with fast oscillating layers

 

With different dwell times for best overlapping and vibration for fixing layers.
Multiple Areas can be filled automatically. To get a cold work piece, for every area,
a special Count Down Timer is used (0-10 Minutes).

Welding Methods


Special welding patterns are available for all seam forms and applications. All parameters are saved in up to 20 separate programs and the adaptation of different circumstances is made easier. Recurring works simply occur with quite tested, optimum settings.



... at Steel- / Ship- Construction


V-shape Seam with Pattern 3  or 5


All welding parameters can be adjusted in steps by 1 %. The weaver amplitude should be as much as needed to reach both edges at least with half thickness of wire.



 

At V-shape seam with space, the torch should be mounted vertical or slightly backwards.

Corner with Pattern 4 or 3

The torch should be mounted 45° angular and the corner shape will be worked out by synchronous movement of X and Z axes.

 

 

 

Surfacing with Pattern 1  or 2

The surfacing is comparable like with the welding methods at railway welds. To get a better connection and overlap to the previous welded layer, the drive speed at one side can be reduced.

The smartRobot welding unit works at up to 99 layers automatically.


Multi-Layer-Surfacing can be selected with mode Multi and L01 up to L99 layers

... for Cutting with Gas-Burner

For cutting of any form of shape, up to
1200 Teach-In-Points can be used. Movement and positioning will be automatically calculated and interpolated between points.

Input of points can be done manually or external computed and transferred by USB or wireless.

Quality Management

Especially in the range of the welding technology, the quality assurance and quality preservation is a responsible task. Therefore, the quality management doesn't end already after delivery of the machines, but accompanies the whole period of use. Because of highest technical standards and the logical use of all possibilities, the expenditure remains low.

For the optimum integration in quality management systems, certain circumstances have to be fulfilled. Important points are the ability for reproduction of the processes, the data interchange with documentation and the cost-use-factor of the quality management. Because of the problems (provable, objectivity) of the different management models, special software for computer-aided quality assurance is used.

Mainly integrated functions are the unit’s Self-Test, Encoder-Test and Camera functionality.

Self-Test

A predefined surface with predefined movement parameters, will be processed for 20 times and the required time for every run is documented and saved. The maximum deviation should be only 1 second, if it's more than 2 seconds, Self-Test will be cancelled unsuccessfully.

This documentation picture will be created and automatically saved to QM-folder.


Just how the training and continuing education of the welder,
this test should be done regularly.

Self-Test can be selected in main menu , Self Test


Non-Contact Infrared Temperature Measurement and Documentation

For welding at big parts, preheat and/or interpass temperatures are very important and must be verified before start of weld. For easy and fast temperature information about the complete welding area, a thermographical camera is part of the welding system. Temperatures up to 300 °C can be detected and memorized for documentation.


Example of developer's coffee cup.

Hot spot marked with



 

Documentation can be selected with key




WiFi-Access-Point for real-time Data-Tracking

With WiFi functionality, a wireless Access-Point via WiFi will be supported. Any other unit or network with WiFi capabilities can be connected and data or command can be received or transferred.
