Portable calibration unit
SWAGELOK’S new M200 portable
calibration unit delivers on-site power
supply
maintenance,
providing
added convenience, reduced costs
and improved efficiencies that can
cut servicing timelines from days to
minutes.
The unit allows for immediate
calibration of a Swagelok welding
systemM200 power supply. Many quality
systems require orbital welding power
supplies to be calibrated periodically.
Traditional calibration processes are
completed off-site at a designated
service location, leaving operations
idling or needing to incur extra
expense with rental equipment.
Portable
calibration
helps
minimise down time, which is key
for remote or secured environments
such as offshore oil drilling
platforms, nuclear plants, and
government sites that cannot easily
arrange power supply transport to
and from service centres.
The M200 portable calibration
unit is designed with enhanced
technology focused on promoting
efficiency through the welding
process. On-screen navigation
prompts
users
to
initiate
the calibration process. The
calibration unit then performs
various diagnostics and measures
output levels. The unit is designed to
specifically calibrate based on critical
welding variables including: current
– automatic calibration to ensure
proper current output for future welds;
voltage – provision of simple, on-screen
adjustments to match actual values
with expected values; and travel speed
– electrode travel speed is verified
and adjusted in real-time via the M200
operating software, eliminating the need
for frequent calibration. This verification
is displayed and documented as part
of the calibration software, making
documentation easier for users.
The M200 portable calibration
unit is a 2013 recipient of
Gases
&
Instrumentation
International
magazine’s Golden Gas Award for
technologically
innovative,
high
quality and cost-effective solutions to
challenges in the gas industry.
