Pipemaster 516
The latest generation of Pipemaster controllers are the result of a new direction in power source design. Pipemaster 516 brings the benefits of digital technology to the orbital welding customer: unparalleled accuracy, repeatability, and reliability. Digital technology forever eliminates the need for periodic weld head calibration – motor speeds and response characteristics remain accurate and stable regardless of wear, and weld heads can be interchanged without time-consuming calibration.
- Multi-pass welding of pipes/tubes/tubesheets
- Full function capability (torch rotation, filler wire feed, electronic arc gap control, electronic oscillation)
- Operates all models of Magnatech weld heads (GTAW process)
- Current programming and pulsing controlled by Pipemaster controller – not the power supply
- Amperage output determined by power source selection • Autoranging power input eliminates all internal modifications
- Up to 100 levels per program (time-based programs)
- Stores 100 weld programs internally
- Auto Program automatically generates procedures
- Programming and operation guided by simple prompts
- Teach mode allows rapid program development
- Programmable “override limits” provide supervisory control
- Weld parameter monitoring/out-of-limits reporting for QA/QC purposes
- Transfer programs and QC data to PC using USB flash drive/memory key
- AutoTack automatically generates tack weld programs
- Large color LCD pendant display
- Stainless steel case
- Help files provide immediate information/ assistance
- Password protection of key functions
- Waterproof pendant with 7.6 m (25’) cable
- Auto rewind feature unwraps cable at weld completion
- All weld head functions capable of synchronization with pulsed current output
- Selectable position or time-based programming
- The integral switch prevents welding without torch gas flow
- Bluetooth printer option
- Detachable coolant recirculation with integral flow switch protection
- Meets applicable NEMA, CE, CSA standards
