Total control over the welding process and report generation

It often makes sense to give the welder total control over the welding, just as he is used to from performing welded joints with manual butt-welding machines. This, however, is just where you start to frown when it comes to generating welding reports. While recording welding processes has become an approved tool for the assessment and management of operations, getting your hand on a truly on-board solution of a manual machine with an integrated welding report generator is a tough assignment.
Up until now.

Hürner WeldControl 2000

With the butt-welding systems of the WeldControl 2000 line, Hürner Schweisstechnik has connected both worlds and joined the butt-welding machines of the Manual line, which have been appreciated for their user-friendliness and reliability, to a data input and recording system that builds on the proven SPG 2000 report generation units — all in one, lightweight hydraulic, control, and report generation box:

• input of welding and traceability parameters easy as ABC with intuitive and structured menus
• Follow-up control of the welding process by the welder with the clearly readable display screen
• Automatic recording of the entered data and the welding process to a welding report, which can then be sent to a printer, storage media or PC
• Integrated welding control system that stops welding and displays an error message if any critical value is out of tolerance

WeldControl 2000 systems let the welder decide to what extent he wants the control unit to support his work: besides the SPG mode that makes sure the welding is controlled and recorded, he can switch to manual mode whenever a welding operation is planned to be performed fully manually and without generation of a report. The systems ship with:

• Carrying case for facing tool and heating plate
• Facing tool with micro safety switch
• Non-sticky coated (PTFE) heating plate
• Transport box for the entire machine
