PIPEMASTER POWER SOURCE

Model 515

Power Source/Controller for "Full Function" weld heads

Use with Quickclamp Weld Head models and D-Head Weld Head

Revolutionary, Not Evolutionary

The latest generation of Pipemaster power sources is the result of a new direction in power source design. The Model 515 brings the benefits of digital technology to the orbital welding customer: unparalleled accuracy, repeatability, and reliability. The new model is half the size and weight of previous models. 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.

Software upgrades can be sent as e-mail attachments and loaded using a standard USB portable flash drive "memory key" (provided). The Model 515 is "internet ready" for future enhancements such as a web-based diagnostic service.

Two autoranging versions are available: a lighter weight 115/230 VAC input model, or with a wider 115/480 VAC input range, to operate on any input voltage worldwide. Both operate on 1 or 3 phase, 50/60 Hz.

   
Features:
  • Multi-pass welding of pipes/tubes
  • Full function capability (torch rotation, filler wire feed, electronic arc gap control, electronic oscillation)
  • 200 Amp Output
  • Autoranging input eliminates all internal modifications
  • Up to 100 levels per program (time-based programs)
  • Stores 100 weld programs internally
  • AutoProgram 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 purpose
  • Transfer programs and QC data to PC using USB flash drive "Memory Key"
  • AutoTack automatically generates tack weld programs
  • Large color LCD display
  • Stainless steel case
  • Help Files provide immediate information/assistance
  • Password protection of key functions
  • Waterproof Remote Pendant (25"/8m 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
  • Integral switch prevents welding without torch gas glow
  • Integral printer
  • Detachable coolant recirculator with integral flow switch protection
  • Meets applicable NEMA, CE, CSA standards
   
Options:
  • Cart with bottle rack
  • Extension cables
  • Rugged storage/shipping case
  • Lighter weight 115/230 VAC version
   
Remote Pendant:

This handheld control is used to both program and remotely operate the power source. Designed to withstand hard use, the pendant incorporates a completely sealed, waterproof silicone rubber panel keypad, impervious to grinding debris and weld spatter. The color LCD display is protected by a tempered glass shield.

The intuitive switch layout allows the welder to make program override corrections without lifting his hood.

   
Coolant Recirculator : Detachable coolant recirculator mounts beneath power source with integral flow switch protection
   
Teach Mode: Teach Mode speeds program development. Approximately parameter values are entered or copied from an existing program.
   
Programmable Overrides Provide Supervisory Control: The welder may override programmed parameters but only within preset limits. Password protected override limits are set for each parameter (0-100% of programmed value).
   
Simplified Programming: Specifying the weld Head to be used from a "dropdown" menu automatically selects the preferred programming mode - position or time. Time-based programming is generally preferred for weld Heads making simple fusion welds. Multipass pipe weld Heads are operated using position-based programming, eliminating calculations to determine when parameter changes must be made. A sensor in the weld Head provides position information. All welding parameters may be changed at each level.
   
Weld Monitoring/QC: Additional documentation and notes can be added to weld programs and QC records, providing traceability to individual drawings, projects, and customers.
