Questions & Answers for WeldPrint

It gives me great pleasure to introduce a remarkable machine to you sir/mdm. This machine, WeldPrintTM, is the state of the art on line fault detection system for automatic welding available in the market and it has received world wide patent. As a metallurgist myself and having being involved in developing a variety of welding procedures and weld quality, I am impressed by the capabilities and ease of use of this machine. I have no hesitation in introducing this product to your organisation to monitor and improve the quality of your weld on line. On line monitoring of weld will save costly repair or reduce the rejection rate of your finished products.

WeldPrintTM is the cost effective quality monitoring and control equipment. The following are some of the salient qualities of WeldPrintTM.

  1. Easy to use – you just need to hook it to your welding machine and no special tools or adapters are required

  2. Quick in detecting faults against a reference weld and alert the operator or control system.

  3. WeldPrintTM detect faults arising from contamination, porosity, loss in shielding gas, irregular feed rate, poor joint fit-up, misalignment, incorrect settings or any condition which disrupt the arc since WeldPrintTM is based on the electrical characteristics of a welding arc.

  4. Suitable to all automatic welding process.

  5. It can detect indirectly the conditions of your welding machine electrically. A badly maintained machine will give a wildly fluctuating voltage and current, and hence an equally wildly fluctuating weld quality.

  6. It is a must for developing welding procedures for consistent weld quality during production. Permit me to give you an example on how WeldPrintTM is ideally suited to monitor and control in depositing a fillet weld. The most frequently asked question in fillet weld are as follows :

    1. Is there sufficient penetration at the root?

    2. Are there any weld defects like slag inclusions, lack of fusion, gas pockets, worm holes etc?

These defects cannot be detected by conventional non destructive test (NDT) and the most commonly used NDT technique for production weld are surface flaw detection such as dye penetrant test, magnetic particle inspection, eddy current and etc., - just to mention few of the examples. In other words, the NDT is very limited and can only give some quality assurance. In addition, it is cost effective due to the fact that the results can be obtained instantaneously and the high cost of each test. WeldPrintTM can easily overcome these difficulties. If weldPrintTM is used to capture the electrical signals during the development of weld procedure/s and kept as "signature", and both destructive test and non destructive tests confirmed that the procedure/s is/are acceptable i.e. it has good penetration, no weld defects mentioned above, then the signature can be used for monitoring and controlling of weld quality during production. If the production signal is similar to the "signature" then the production weld (fillet weld) will also have good penetration and no weld defects. Thus the quality of the fillet weld is 100% assured.

Without the use of WeldPrintTM, the quality of the fillet weld cannot be 100% assured.

In the case of Butt Welding where Non Destructive testing is not 100% say 10%, WeldPrintTM can be used to indicate the quality for the remaining 90%.

When welding very thick sections, WeldprintTM is a very useful tool to monitor the quality of welding for each and every pass. If defect/s is/are detected in one of the passes, it can be rectified (repaired) before continuing to completion. Imaging if you have completed welding a thick section say 50 mm to 150 mm thick plate. Radiography or ultrasonic test shows three defects located near the root or mid section of the weld, you will have to carry out a lot of grinding or gouging, followed by dye penetrant test or magnetic particle inspection before any repair can be carried out. After weld repair, the joint is again tested radiographically or ultrasonically before it can be cleared for acceptance. This repair exercise is not only costly and time consuming, it also creates problems for delivery schedules and attracting late delivery penalty. With WeldprintTM, it reduces your repair cost, reduces down time, reduces supervision of welder, reduces delay caused by weld repair and finally increase in profitability

  1. Any weld quality that falls below the desired level can be physically marked for repair or the operator alerted so that corrective action/s can be taken immediately to reduce the rejection rate.

  2. The responsibility of producing good quality weld can be rested on the welder/operator (reduces supervision because WeldprintTM takes care of this) instead of the QC personnel who can be freed to perform other more pressing QC job.

  3. The fall in quality can be analysed to ascertain whether the cause is due to a drop in electrical voltage in the plant due to imbalance of phase distribution within the factory or change in fit up or there is a serious weld defect.

  4. All production data can be stored and retrieved for analysis at a later time. This suggests that a hard copy of the test results is possible which is not available in some of the NDT.

  5. Many "signatures" can be stored – this means that the signatures of many welding procedures can be recorded and stored in the machine for use in the monitoring of production weld.

Additional information on WeldPrintTM can be adduced in the brochure enclosed. Should you need further information please do not hesitate to contact us. We are able to demonstrate the equipment at your factory is you have an interest in this state of the art equipment to improve quality or to give quality assurance to your products.
