W elding e quipment 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

Qineo Pulse pulsed arc power source with portable remote control

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.
