Important

 The manufacturer can in no circumstances be held liable for damage 

or consequential damage that occurs as a result of the non-com-
pliance with the procedures described in the User’s Manual, the 
modification of the manufacturer-programmed welding parameters, 
or non-intended use. Any such deviation or modification will cancel 
any and all warranties under which the product may be.

3.2 Machine 

Description

The machine can be used as an in-shop installation and with anodized 
aluminum components, it is also suited for clean room applications. The 
machine enables users to enter the data that are relevant for the weld-
ing process and for the traceability of the welded joint. From the entered 
welding parameters, it calculates the applicable forces and temperatures 
and controls the welding process automatically.

All welding and traceability data are entered either directly on a touch-
screen panel or read from a bar code using a scanning pen. The welding 
process in monitored in its entirety and saved to a welding report. All weld-
ing reports can the be printed or transferred to a computer with a suitable 
pipeline network management software (such as DataWork agru).

Using the menus displayed on the touchscreen, the machine can be custom-
ized to the application at hand (see section 4.3, Configuring the Machine).
