Magnatech USA

Booth 7543 Magnatech’s Pipemaster is used for multipass orbital pipe and boiler tube welding. The Pipemaster has an autoranging input of 220 to 480 VAC and a 200amp output, and will operate weld head models incorporating controls for torch rotation, wire feed, torch oscillation, and arc voltage control functions. The company says its orbital multi-pass pipe welding systems can potentially provide productivity improvements but in the past potential users had expressed concerns with the need to program the equipment for each pipe size and material, and at the learning curve necessary for their welders to program a CNC tool. Now, the new Autoprogramming mode allows operation without programming training. An inexperienced user enters pipe OD, wall thickness, and material and a weld program will automatically be generated. This can then be run, and if not perfect, can be modified in two ways. Using Edit mode, any parameter can be changed at any point during the weld. Using Scaling mode, certain

stores up to 100 weld programs. Website: www.magnatechllc.com
