Welding equipment
Qineo® for manual and automated applications
THE manual Qineo® Step welding machines
from 180A to 600A are specially designed for
use in industry and commerce. In synergic
operation mode the welder can use the
factory-programmed parameter settings
(synergic characteristic curves) where,
depending on the step-switch position, all
the adjustments relevant to the welding
process are stored. The fine adjustment of
the arc can be achieved by simply turning
the adjusting knob.
The new step-switch series is available
in compact design or in the capacity
range from 350 Amp and above with a
separate wire drive unit for an even larger
work radius. If more flexibility is required,
operation can be carried out on the remote
control. The Qineo Step is available in the
versions Eco or Master (thyristor-regulated
throttle) and can be gas or water-cooled
according to the requirement. All systems
guarantee optimum ignition characteristics
with low spatter and a quiet and stable arc,
and provide excellent weld seam quality
when welding with short or spray arc.
The new, infinitely adjustable pulsed arc
welding machines in the Qineo Pulse series
from 350 to 600 A are also suitable for
automated welding solutions. The machines
are available as compact units or with a
separate wire drive. Numerous process
functions guarantee many benefits for a
wide range of applications.
The parameters for all standard gas/base
metal combinations and wire diameters are
stored as synergic characteristic curves in a
database in the power source. Optimisation
of these settings is made possible by two
fine adjustments – for arc length and the
arc dynamics.
For user-specific processes a 999-job
memory is available. An operating panel,
which can be located in the power source, in
the manual wire drive unit, or in an external
housing, can be flexibly adapted to the
corresponding welding task.
The design of the automated Qineo
Pulse machines provides interfaces for
ProfiBUS, ProfiNET, DeviceNET, Interbus
and other bus systems for external control
of the welding system. A universal open
machine interface completes the machine
interface options offered. The internal
CAN-BUS interface ensures that other new
interfaces can be adapted in the future.
