Pipe Welding System integrates Autoprogramming feature.
May 11, 2009 -
Used for multipass orbital pipe and boiler tube welding, Pipemaster has 220-480 Vac autoranging input and 200 A output. It will operate weld head models with controls for torch rotation, wire feed, torch oscillation, and arc voltage control functions. Autoprogramming lets users enter pipe OD, wall thickness, and material to spur automatic generation of weld program. If not perfect, weld program can be modified using Edit or Scaling modes. Power source stores up to 100 weld programs.

Auto Programming Now Available for Pipe Welding Systems!
Magnatech's Pipemaster is used extensively for multipass orbital pipe and boiler tube welding. The Pipemaster has an autoranging input of 220 to 480 VAC and a 200-amp output, and will operate weld Head models incorporating controls for torch rotation, wire feed, torch oscillation, and arc voltage control functions. Orbital multi-pass pipe welding systems can provide great productivity improvements. However, many potential users are concerned with the need to program the equipment for each pipe size and material, and the "learning curve" necessary for their welders to program a CNC tool.
Now, the new Autoprogramming mode allows operation without programming training. An inexperienced user enters pipe OD, wall thickness, and material. A weld program will automatically be generated. The new weld program can be run, and if not perfect, can be modified in two ways. Using Edit mode, any parameter can be changed at any point during the weld. Using Scaling mode, certain parameters (such as rotation spread, or amperage) can be changed by a percentage for the entire program. The power source stores up to 100 weld programs.
