X8 MIG WELDER
2.4 Operation
In the WeldEye cloud service settings, you can filter the items that Control Pad shows to be identified.
For example, you can have the WPS and the filler batch number shown, but not the filler material or
shielding gas. This does not prevent you from scanning also other identifiers with the barcode reader.
Alarms in WeldEye services
Before welding, Control Pad shows alarms for insufficient welder qualifications, wrong filler material, and
wrong shielding gas. After welding, it shows an alarm if there are nonconforming welding parameters or heat
input values.
Each welder's qualifications are stored in their personal qualification certificates in WeldEye. If a welder's
certificate lacks the necessary qualifications required by the WPS, the system raises an alert. If the welder
restrains from welding, the system drops the alert. However, if the welder starts to weld despite the alert, the
system records the alert in the WeldEye cloud service.
WeldEye also compares the filler material information and shielding gas information that the welder enters
with Control Pad to the filler and shielding gas defined in the WPS. If these do not match, the system raises
an alert.
Figure 52: The welder is not qualified for welding with the selected WPS
Control Pad shows the welding current and voltage during welding and indicates whether the values are
within the limits of the WPS. This information may be useful for the bystanders observing the welding. The
values are shown in white, yellow or red.
