Kemppi Arc System 2.0 – ArcQuality Welding quality management How much do we really know about the quality of welded objects?

2 ArcQuality High quality welded is carried out against approved welding procedures, under strict quality control. But how strict? And was that welding procedure really followed ?

ArcQuality verifies welding quality on behalf of all stakeholders, defining a new level in quality management.

Most welded objects carry little qualitative proof that the welding was completed using approved parameters, filler materials and qualified personnel. But until now there has been no system that can support these quality needs. Today, Kemppi Arc System 2.0, module ArcQuality (ArcQ), provides an accurate and formal solution to this quality problem.

ArcQuality identifies WPS deviations and validates welding quality. Measuring and recording welding parameters and consumables used, comparing the information collected against the qualified welding procedure specification, providing a formal solution that defines and verifies welding quality, avoiding deviations that can result in serious quality issues if left unchecked.

System highlights How it works • Monitors compliance to the WPS Before welding commences, the operative’s first task is to log into the ArcQ system • Ensures welders hold valid using the ArcQuality Smart Reader. By scanning the bar code on their personnel qualification identification name tag, the welders professional qualifications are identified. • Creates non-conformance reports • Automates data collection Scanning and recording the WPS bar code ensures such variables as qualifications are suitable and in date. Filler material and shielding gas selection is also scanned, • Reduces rework costs compared and verified. • Supports the welder, quality and management personnel The ArcQuality Smart reader LCD screen communicates WPS compliance or • Reports arc and non-arc time deviation using bright green or red screen alerts, ensuring the welder is reliably • Includes a welding fleet informed and able to take suitable corrective action if required before welding, management tool avoiding wasted time and costly rework. • Anticipates service needs and records service history Quality office reporting monitors welding activity and WPS compliance from all ArcQuality active work stations, allowing swift supervisory intervention should local • Designed for monitoring warnings have been missed or ignored. MIG/MAG and TIG welding • Web based reporting • WLAN technology
