WhiteLine WeldControl EF

HÜRNER WhiteLine WeldControl EF

Calling HÜRNER‘s WeldControl EF a true revolution of welding technologies is by no means an exaggeration: it is the first welding system in the world to allow both jointing two PE components using an ef-fitting for welding and a joint of two PE components by the butt-welding process, and it does so without trading in any of the well-known characteristics of HÜRNER systems: small and compact, adding the maximum possible suitability for construction sites.

This result of engineering excellence is achieved by incorporating the electrofusion control system in the hydraulics enclosure using a micro-controller layout HÜRNER has developed from scratch to this very end. Accordingly, the hydraulic and control unit works, on the one hand, as the HÜRNER WeldControl that users have come to appreciate for walking them semi-automatically through the butt-welding process, including all the bells and whistles, e. g., ISO-compliant recording etc. As an addition, simply connecting the welding cable makes the machine switch from butt welding to the electrofusion mode, EF. The machine practically turns itself into an electrofusion welder, i. e., lets you connect the welding cable to the terminals of the ef-fitting, read the fitting bar code with a scanner, and start the welding process.

 

Automatic data logging

Data input
WeldControl mode:
All inputs, such as pipe parameters, wall thickness, SDR, traceability data, with novel GT kepad
Electrofusion (EF) mode:
Bar code scanner, manual input of fitting code as numerical sequence or of welding time and voltage; Auto ID (optional)

System self-monitoring
System check, computerized maintenance management, including recording

Welding monitoring system
WeldControl mode:
Welding pressures, welding times, ambient temperature, memory control, operating temperature, heating element temperature, service schedule management
Electrofusion (EF) mode:
Welding voltage, resistance, welding current, established contact, short-circuit, ambient temperature, input frequency and voltage, memory control, operating temperature, service schedule management

Standard-compliant ISO 12176 traceability
Commission number with 32 alphanumeric characters, ISO-compliant welder ID code, HÜRNER welder ID code, 1st additional (user-defined) data with 20 alphanumeric characters 2nd additional (user-defined) data with 15 alphanumeric characters, ISO-compliant traceability: fitting code, 1st and 2nd pipe codes, pipe length, weather conditions, joint number, installing company, inventory number

Welding standard
