Today’s common denominator in the industry is productivity. Many companies are pondering on means to solve the productivity equation ” also when it comes to welding. Automation is usually off ered as the productivity solution. However, welding today and also in the future is mostly manual work. On this basis, Kemppi has for years now studied the potential for increasing manual welding profi tability.

Strong but barely noticeable tacks ensure high-quality welds Kemppi has released its new three-phase MicroTack resembles spot welding in that it provides a sudden high-current pulse, which fuses the materials to MasterTig MLS™ 3000/3003 ACDC welding each other. This feature is particularly suited to demanding solutions for TIG and MMA welding. The new jobs where the materials to be joined are thin sheet or have MasterTig machines off er welders some really different thicknesses. The superiority of the MicroTack tacking method is based enjoyable features, like MicroTack™ and MIX on its ease of use and very low heat input. Thanks to these TIG. characteristics, the weld spots remain small and of equal size and do not cause deformation of the welded materials. Tack welding refers to joining pieces together with small, spot-like welds before the primary welding. While this MicroTack facilitates welding mechanisation phase is usually necessary in welding work, tack welds In the development of the new MasterTig machines, often slow down the solid welding and increase the risk of Kemppi has worked in collaboration with Rämö Oy, an welding errors. engineering works based in Imatra, Finland.

  • Kemppi Arc System 2.0 – Arcquality Welding Quality Management How Much Do We Really Know About the Quality of Welded Objects?
    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 construction 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. Welding quality management 3 Advanced welding quality management 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.

  • LHC Technological Challenges: Use of Digital Signal Processors in the Power Converters for the LHC Particle Accelerator
    LHC technological challenges: use of digital signal processors in the power converters for the LHC particle accelerator H. Schmickler CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Abstract The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the next accelerator being constructed on the CERN site. It will be installed in a 27 km circumference tunnel, about 100 m underground. The LHC design is based on superconducting magnets (up to 9 T) which operate in a superfluid helium bath at 1.9 K. This machine is scheduled to come into operation in 2008. In all, there will be 1720 power converters having a total steady-state input power of 63 MW and a peak power of 86 MW. They will supply a total current of about 1850 kA and are, in general, characterized by having high current (up to 20 kA) and low voltage with very high precision. We describe the main components of the LHC powering and their challenges. The performance, design constraints, and topologies of the power converters will be presented. We discuss in detail the use of CERN-designed digital signal processor boards with the main emphasis being on the control loop design. 1 Introduction – The LHC project The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is a European intergovernmental organization with 20 Member States. It has its seat in Geneva but straddles the Swiss-French border. Its objective is to provide necessary tools for physicists to explore what matter is made of and what forces hold it together. CERN designs, constructs, and runs the necessary particle accelerators and the associated experimental areas. At present more than 6000 physicists from research institutes worldwide use the CERN installations for their experiments.
