At this year’s TUBE trade fair, 31st March to the 4th April in Düsseldorf, Polysoude will be presenting their new portable TIG Welding Power Source the P4 for the first time.
Designed for automated orbital welding of stainless steel pipe connections, the world market leader thus opens up a new dimension in system construction for its users - technological, economical and qualitative. The prerequisite for this is intuitive operator guidance with the combination of a modular system concept, which is unique thus far in joining technology. A large touch screen forms the man-machine interface. All interactions with the system take place via this interface; it issues all commands to the internal electronics via the software and transmits the status of the joining process to the operator.
Other special features of the P4 are the independent system configuration and auto programming. There is also real time welding data recording for a welding result which is guaranteed to be reproducible. Another important feature, the machine detects the connected weld head type and so automatically knows within which limit values the machine can work. The auto programming takes over the adjustment of the welding parameters down to the last detail. In addition to the four basic parameters (shielding gas, welding current, welding and wire speed), these can include up to 30 additional parameters for exploiting all possibilities of the modern orbital welding system - from joining with pulsing current, pulsing welding and wire speed synchronised with the current as well as a combination of these.
With the help of the Program Library or the Synergic Operation, (calculation of the precise parameters using pre-programmed task settings), adjustment becomes as easy as child’s play; the operator only has to change the tooling and workpiece, then input the basic material type, tube diameter and wall thickness. The welding system then suggests in the operator’s local language not just the best joining program, but it also creates the complete set of welding instructions on through to the documentation of the data. If the operator experiences welding defects, the system’s Expert Menu offers assistance.
The "open and communicative design" of the P4 with its timeless software platform leaves room for future functions. Thus the system is also prepared, for example, to scan components to be joined with the help of the optional barcode reader to select the appropriate welding instructions for complete traceability.
Another feature of the P4 is it is easy use on construction sites and in prefabrications around the world. The low weight of the system, the robust Touch Screen Housing with the display interface in the local language, as well as the multi-voltage automatic function for alternating voltage networks with 100, 110, 200 and 230V ensures this. The power source can even generally tolerate fluctuations during operation on long feed lines and current generators.
Special features of the P4 in brief:
- XXL touch screen – the man-machine interface for intuitive operator guidance.
- Independent system configuration.
- Automatic Generation of the welding instructions.
- Loading/saving of data via USB or Ethernet interface
