Kemppi says its new software-based welding products, for use with FastMig and KempArc welding machines, are revolutionary.
International welding equipment manufacturer, Kemppi call the new product family Wise Solutions. The smart welding software allows the welding process to be tailored to the work at hand. The software customises the welding equipment to help the user achieve a level of quality otherwise unattainable with the standard Mig/Mag welding process.
The tailored welding processes and functions are used for root pass work, sheet metal welding, penetration control and focused arcs, where energy density is concentrated into a narrow area.
Developed over several years, the Wise Solutions software enables comprehensive control of the properties of the welding arc as well as the features of the machine. The software adjusts the arc’s properties to turn the equipment into a customised machine for specific welding work.
According to David Green, Managing Director of Kemppi Australia, Wise Solutions software provides the user with numerous benefits.
'Apart from improving the quality of the welding, Wise Solutions software helps users reduce welding time, the need for rework and therefore, costs. With Wise Solutions, welding performance and productivity are assured,’ said Green.
The family of Wise Solutions software includes WiseRoot, WiseThin, WisePenetration and WiseFusion.
WiseRoot is a tailored short arc process. It is designed for manual and automated root pass welding for steel and stainless steel. WiseRoot allows wide root gap tolerance while eliminating the need for backing rings or ceramics. It produces high quality root welds and is three times faster in root closure than TIG welding.
WiseThin is a tailored cold arc process for manual and automated thin sheet welding and brazing. Typical applications for WiseThin include quality light plate fabrication in ferrous and non-ferrous materials including automotive manufacturing. WiseThin reduces spatter with all materials and post weld material distortion. It also provides weld pool control with varying joint geometry and fit up. Fast and efficient, it reduces the need for weld rework.
WisePenetration delivers consistent power to the weld pool regardless of changes in welding gun orientation or distance between the welding gun and work piece. The process is suitable for manual and automated synergic MIG/MAG welding, especially when welds are difficult to reach. Helping to deliver a quality weld result, WisePenetration saves time and rework costs, says Kemppi, and is easy to deploy.
WiseFusion creates and maintains an optimal short circuit characteristic in pulsed MIG/MAG and spray-arc welding applications. Keeping the arc length optimally short for manual and automated welding, WiseFusion ensures consistent weld quality in all positions, and once set, eliminates the need for regular parameter adjustments.
‘The family of Wise Solutions software empowers the welder like never before. It allows the user to weld easier, quicker and with quality results,’ said David.
