Automated welding PEMA welding automation solutions are designed for heavy metal welding where technology and advanced IT solutions are utilised. automation, integration

is possible with different products. PEMA WeldControl 100 and 500 provide a true management tool. Production monitoring for engineering departments and data collection provide valuable information for production management with regard to efficiency and development. Weld work tracking is also a good tool for quality control. PEMA control devices and graphical user interfaces are used in all PEMA welding applications. The touch-screen control panels help operators to make use of automatic welding features such as column and booms, and boost the efficiency of both the welding process and the handling of workpieces. Themanufacturer states that costs can be reduced by adding more automation,

The PEMA WeldControl system frees the operator from the complexity of different controllers by providing simple, one-panel control. The system has three levels of operation and provides the right controls for every user – operator, welding engineer and service. WeldControl is an efficient user interface for integrated machine and welding process control. All power systems can be integrated to a single system. All basic functions can be ready programmed at start-up, which limits the risk of human error. It facilitates integration of production systems and is easy to learn, and provides extended performance with all technologies. Regardless of the present level of
