Pipefab welding platform software update
Lincoln Electric has expanded the features and capabilities of the Pipefab Welding Platform, with the launch of a new software update.
This latest free software update introduces a handful of powerful new operator controls and optimized weld modes, said the company, that further enhance system ease-of-use and overall welding performance for pipe and vessel fabricators.
Haley Hagan, product manager at Lincoln Electric said, “with access to enhanced operator ease-of-use features, as well as our patented HyperFill® weld process, this software update allows operations to continue to take their productivity and quality to new heights while improving overall system simplicity.”
The welding platform software updates include the following:
HyperFill weld mode: For heavy-wall pipe and vessel application, twin-wire MIG is now available on the PIPEFAB welding system, helping to expand welding capabilities to achieve deposition rates above 20 lb./hr. (HyperFill is a patented and licensed twin-wire MIG solution that is designed to perform specifically with select Lincoln Electric welding wire.)
Trigger memory recall: Operators have access to enable Quick Trigger, Trigger Memory Recall, and Dual Procedure Support allowing operators to quickly change MIG and FCAW processes through the welding.
Enhanced USB features: New USB functionally allows operators and supervisors improved equipment control and traceability, including PIN authorization capabilities by setting up USB keys, as well as improve Snapshot features for troubleshooting.
Expanded process memories: With the expansion of the Pipefab process memory features, operators can save and recall up to 10 preset parameters per process, allowing 60 total memory.
Non-synergic weld modes: For operators looking to fine-tune their process, the new software update also enables manual, non-synergic CV MIG and FCAW weld modes.
Headquartered in Cleveland, Lincoln Electric is a world leader in the engineering, design and manufacturing of advanced arc welding solutions, automated joining, assembly and cutting systems, plasma and oxy-fuel cutting equipment, and has a leading global position in brazing and soldering alloys.
