At the moment, Baltic Hydraulic Cylinders (BHC) has five TPS 320I C Pulse/4R/FSC welding machines from Fronius. One of them is robotic welding. Traceabilty is quaranteed by Fronius WeldCube documentation and data analysis software.
All the Fronius welding machines record the value of every welded joints like:
- Number of the welded joint
- Date and time of the beginning of welding
- Time spent for welded joint
- Electric current- A
- Voltage- V
- Wire feed speed- m/min
- Electric power- W
- Electrical enery- kJ
Collecting data like that helps to assure WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) – traceability and rightness of the welding procedure values.
