The handling of a WeldControl machine is simply unique and it enables an approach to welding no other system is able to offer. Either the operator makes use of the assistance of the interactively responding hydraulic and control unit. Or the manual mode is selected to make the joint by hand.
In the WeldControl mode the system walks the operator through the process after the pipe parameters were entered or confirmed. This includes monitoring the operators inputs and recording the entire process. WeldControl machines do not only provide presets, though; they facilitate the work, e. g., by reducing the pressure automatically when the automode was enabled. Welding reports have all data required by ISO traceability.
In the Manual mode the display screen works as a digital gauge. It displays the welding pressures and heating element temperatures and is a one-stop provider of all data.
Industry version:
Optionally, the machine chassis (250, 315, 355, 500, 630) are also available in an industry set-up with a modified 3rd clamp for clamping fittings with a short connecting stub.*)
*) Retrofit kit for converting existing systems to industry version available upon request!
