The latest star in the development of WEGENER ST Butt Welding Machines shines through highest quality standards and operator friendly control features. As is standard with all WEGENER, the construction of the ST model butt welders is based on a heavy duty welded steel machine frame with integrated, task conforming and precisely machined welding tables. The composite construction of the welding tables guarantees precision butt welds without misalignments even at permanent usage of the machine at maximum capacity. This proven design concept and the patented, maintenance free mechanical force synchronization (parallel travel mechanism) of the welding tables are the ideal prerequisites for quality assured welding in accordance with DVS 2208.
Included in the base machine is a Siemens S7-1200 PLC controller with 7” graphic touch screen
panel. The operator can enter the material and geometry specific parameters ‘pressures-times-temperature’ on an easily understandable screen. The appropriate welding pressures are controlled with a proportional valve. A window ‘fault’ clearly explains any possible operating related problems thus easing trouble shooting.
