Technology Update

water-cooled welding equipment, Duo Drive wire drive unit, and torch clean unit. The Rotrol ® controller and the Quinto CP pulsed arc power source are also mounted on the base frame. The cell has a protective housing with integrated safety technology. On the front side, the two work tables are located behind two sliding doors which are opened alternately. When welding is complete, the door opens automatically and the

operator can remove the finished component. Conversions for other components can be carried out quickly via the Rotrol controller and the coordinated characteristic curves of the Quinto CP pulsed arc power source. For this purpose, the system has a True Synergy Mode, which enables suitable welding parameters to be easily called up for the relevant component.

fi The space-saving Z2 production cell contains all the necessary components, including the Romat robot with water-cooled welding equipment

› The two work tables in the Cloos production cell are loaded one after the other

The complete cell can be moved

by forklift truck if any changes to the production run are required, as the appropriate facilities for transportation are located underneath the base frame. The cell only needs to be connected to the electric supply, compressed air and shielding gas to be ready for work. PWS uses an argon/oxygen mixture with 2 per cent O 2 .
