6 Tuned for maximum performance When welding, performance means added value TANDEM welding, strip welding and MSG single wire welding are all very efficient high-performance processes. High-performance welding however requires power sources with special capabilities: Flexible: Two power ranges The new QUINTO pulsed arc machine series meets all the requirements for high-performance welding and is available in two capacity versions: 400 Amp or 600 Amp with 60 % duty cycle. Efficient: high-performance welding With both types single-wire and TANDEM high-performance welding are possible. The 400 Amp version in particular is suitable for wire speeds of up to approx. 25 m/min (G3 Si1 Ø 1,2 mm). Above this, the 600 Amp power source has to be used and this can also be used to weld with steel strip electrodes. Powerful: high deposition rates The deposition rates of the highperformance processes single wire, TANDEM and strip welding reach up to 25 kg/h when welding steel. Reduced: production costs Aluminium TANDEM welding with wire speeds > 15 m/min. is also possible with both power sources, thus reducing welding production costs considerably without losing quality. 6

8 Processes Design innovation combined with functional perfection at the right place Complex tasks can only be successfully solved by expertise,innovation and knowledge. As for example with the QUINTO. Optimum performance The QUINTO welding operation: Perfected by digital regulation for any conceivable process, material or gas combination. Pulsed arc welding U/I or I/I modulation freely selectable. Length control Adaptive, digital length control to prevent short circuits. Additional length control for I/I modulation. Pulse geometry 10 pre-assigned pulse characteristics which can be individually changed. Pulse synchronisation Smallest affect of two arcs when welding one component. Outstanding weld appearance and integrity AluPlus the modulation of weld parameters for visually perfect seam surfaces. The new functions improve penetration, and heat input and distortion are reduced. This now applies to all materials. See the difference The SPAZ function (low spatter ignition) guarantees soft arc and reliable ignition for all MSG welding processes this has been available from CLOOS for the last ten years. Down to the lastdrop Precise wire deposition and heat control ensure reliable re-ignition of the arc. This is available on all CLOOS pulsed arc welding machines. All processes in one brochure Das Schweißen Mehr Effizienz durch moderne Prozesse As a system supplier CLOOS have not specialised in just one welding process but have developed welding power sources which offer all processes currently in use. Each process has its special advantages and application area, but also certain technical restrictions which are explained in our special brochure Welding, which can be downloaded or ordered under 8

9 Control Weld Applications Thin plates Welding under pure CO 2 Manual and automated welding, repair welding MIG brazing Advantages Uniform arc Low heat input Good gap bridging ability The Control Weld Process supplies a uniform arc which is particularly advantageous when welding thin steel. The classic industries are automotive construction, electronics, vehicle construction, heating technology, white goods and furniture. This process can also be used for reliable repair welding throughout all industry sectors and allows for welding under pure CO 2. Speed Weld (Pulse U/I - Pulse I/I) Applications Medium and thick materials Mainly automated welding Advantages Good penetration depths at high weld speeds Perfect side wall joints High-quality weld seams The Speed Weld process is most suitable for joining components of medium to thick wall thicknesses. Good penetration depths and perfect side wall joints at high weld speeds are achieved by means of a focused pulsed arc with a medium to high deposition rate. The Speed Weld process is used in all areas of industrial production. Tandem Weld Applications All steel and aluminium materials Automated welding Advantages Extremely high weld speed and deposition rate Excellent weld seam quality and minimum risk of pore formation Minimum heat input Optimum arc control For tandem welding two separately fed welding wires with separated potentials are fed together in a melt pool. Thanks to the consequent separation of the two power circuits, the welding arc can be fully controlled. The major advantages of the Tandem Weld process are extremely high efficiency, minimum heat input, excellent weld seam quality and extraordinarily high deposition rate. 9

10 Future technology available now Our development goals In the near future production systems will have their own information highway. Innovative developments are required to get an intelligent power source on the right track. This includes a modular control concept, which provides openness and communication facilities via bus systems. Modern production systems communicate via field bus. The QUINTO has an internal CAN bus and is coupled via Variable Bus Connection (VBC) to any bus system. This guarantees highest flexibility and data security with a minimum of wiring work.

11 Modern digital technology integrated in a power source Highly developed diagnostics, intelligent information systems, integrated controls and large, clear displays increase convenience, reliability and security. Plug And Weld Automatic setting and configuration of all CLOOS units connected, such as DUO- DRIVE or remote control, including automatic validation check of the software versions. Hand in Hand Three micro-controllers and a digital signal processor (DSP) together take over the input, control and setting of the welding process. The complete digitisation of the QUINTO provides the utmost precision and reproducibility. Dynamic wire feed control The highly dynamic, digital wire regulation operates with an extremely high setting accuracy of 0.05 m/min. This allows in combination with a CLOOS-DUO- DRIVE (CDD II) an extremely precise wire retract to adjust the free wire end. In addition, a unique sensor recognises any slippage between wire electrode and wire drive roller. A self diagnostic machine The system control permanently monitors the operating status of all modules. If limit values are exceeded, error messages are displayed and stored in the QUINTO s system logbook, thus enabling an optimum error analysis. Data transfer All settings and features, such as the synergic characteristic curves, weld parameters, weld properties and even the language and user-defined help texts etc., are stored on a Compact Flash and can be easily copied. 11

12 Intelligent operation What do you understand by communication? The design of the QUINTO, which has been developed taking ergonomics into account, facilitates and simplifies operation considerably. The weld data can be input in only a few stages. An intuitive, user friendly and simple operator guide with clear text information on a large and well arranged display facilitates data input. Help texts are available for every function and error message. The highlight: you can write help texts yourself directly on the PC and store them in the QUINTO. All settings can be easily copied using the built-in disk drive. 12

13 The first turn precise, the second perfect then store, copy and forward. The QUINTO concept symbolises ease of operator use based on modular software principles. Simple logic Before you have read the manual you will be able to operate the QUINTO: you turn a knob and get an optimum welding result; You have your own knowledge and would like to change the AluPlus frequency in the end crater program; you copy a synergic characteristic from one QUINTO to the other. No matter on which access level you are working with the QUINTO, a clear and simple menu structure will always bring you success. Precision control The VSM (Variable Synergy Mode) is available to help you input your weld parameters. You can change your weld parameters in the synergy mode via single-button operation according to a pre-programmed characteristic and at the same time adjust each weld parameter separately. Edit offline The Online/Offline Editing (OOE) enables new weld parameters to be input offline while the QUINTO is welding by using the multitasking capability of the QUINTO. The key function The individual access key for your QUINTO: With the Personal Access Key the QUINTO recognises the welder and clears access rights for authorised personnel only in steps which can be individually selected. 13

14 Self diagnostics So that you are always in the picture The QUINTO pulsed arc power source has an extensive monitoring system that monitors all temperature-critical modules and releases an alarm when the limit values are exceeded. The robot communication is also controlled by the monitoring system. Another option is to fit a weld data monitoring system to the QUINTO (SD version). The QUINTO controls a total of 9 process characteristics and writes a protocol in a logbook when unacceptable deviations occur. The logbook listing can contain a component allocation and an error time which enables the unacceptable deviation to be accurately located. The welding speed of a carriage or robot can be monitored, for example in combination with the Open Machine Interface (OMI), via another two free monitoring channels. 14

15 Quality monitoring concepts for improved production quality and reliability The QUINTO monitoring system provides extensive information on the current status during welding. You can decide what information you wish to have. Control is better Robot communication Torch cooling (temperature and flow) Power supply Cooling air inlet and outlet temperature Notification when limit values are exceeded Under supervision... Self-learning function for monitoring weld profiles 9 monitored weld parameters Plus two analogue, freely available monitoring channels SD logbook with complete documentation component counter allocation of component name seam counter error time and other new functions High scanning rate during data monitoring (50 ms) Weld Condition Monitoring (WCM): monitoring of increased risk of porosity even production costs The Cost Calculation Module (CCM) when combined with the SD version enables welding production costs to be accurately determined.. 15
