Polysoude (Nantes, France) will be taking a stand at this year’s Schweissen&Schneiden in Meese Essen, Germany. The company will be showing systems, machines, components and solutions for orbital and mechanised joining as well as cladding. The market launch of the 300 ampere mobile TIG welding system, for tube assembly using automated orbital welding, opens up new production possibilities for plant construction – technologically, economically and qualitatively. This is made possible by intuitive operation combined with the modular system concept. A large touch screen provides the human-machine interface. All interactions with the system take place via this interface. It issues all commands to the internal electronics via the software and transmits the status of the joining process to the operator. Other special features of the P6 are autonomous system configuration and auto-programming. The P6 also features real time welding data recording for a welding result that is guaranteed to be reproducible: In this way, the machine not only detects the type of tool connected, (Open or Enclosed Weld Heads etc.), but it also knows within which limit values the tool can work. Auto-programming takes over the adjustment of the welding parameters down to the last detail. The company also has mechanised and automated joining solutions on hand for a number of other branches: The engineers from Nantes have developed a special automated joining technology for boiler construction in power plants – TIG narrow gap welding. This process is especially suitable for joining thick-walled, concentric circular work pieces. This joining technique is favoured for wall thicknesses between 25 and 300mm.
