“Economic bene� ts”

The company Scholz has been able to reduce produc-tion times by around 50 percent using EWM-forceArc®. In the process, the pure productivity fi gures were incre-ased by 30% using a spray arc instead of the MIG/MAG welding process.

The constricted arc achieves very deep fusion penetra-tion.

Scholz was also able to reduce its welding times due to the lower number of welding layers and the reduced amount of materials and time required.

Further cost savings were achieved via the changeover from cored to solid wire.

“Total cost savings of up to 50% – that’s what won us over!”

One of the leading innovators in crane manufacturing is Voith-Werke based in Traun, Austria. Andreas Lackner, Managing Director, explains: “We deliver quality, something that is clear right from the weld seams. PHOENIX power sources combined with forceArc provide unprecedented levels of effi ciency and quality. For example, previously the 12 m metal sheet for a beam had to be prewelded with a butt joint manually, with the fi nal pass being added using an MMA process. We are now using forceArc for all layers.” Andreas Brunmair, welding engineer at Voith, adds: “On our mechanised welding line, we produce seams of up to 60 metres in length. Thanks to EWM, we can now interconnect two PHOENIX 521 power sources and generate welding current of up to 1,000 amperes. We move along extra-long seams requiring up to an hour to weld to 450 amperes on a 100% duty cycle.”

“We now manufacture 260 mm metal sheets with 130 layers instead of 180 layers as previously!”

Austrian supplier ISW steel components from Enns-dorf builds heavy duty components, weighing up to 80 tonnes, for tool machine manufacturers. Joining techno-logy is the top priority. As owner Gerhard Limberger says: “With forceArc, each weld seam can now be produced faster and with less spatter, as well as with considerably less distortion of the work piece and no undercuts. forceArc’s short spray arc has such high directional stability that it never deviates from the target, even with free wire ends of 40 mm. With forceArc we save a great number of fi ller layers, which reduces costs when it comes to fi ller wire, shiel-ding gas, energy and fi nishing work.”

■ Manual

■ PHOENIX 521 forceArc

The Romanian company ROMVAG S.A. in Caracal ma-nufactures superstructures for goods wagons and rail tankers. Both national and private railway and trans-port companies from virtually all European and Baltic states are now among their customers. There is a total of over 70,000 wagons with ROMVAG superstructures traversing Europe’s railway routes. Barely one year ago, modern pulse welding technology was adopted by ROMVAG in the form of the EWM forceArc® which is unbeatable in terms of effi ciency and quality. In addi-tion to consulting, comprehensive welding tests were carried out fi rst, in which the innovative process proved its worth with fl ying colours. The process had already received the approval of all the certifi cation bodies in Germany as well. For example, it has also already been approved by Deutsche Bahn AG.EWM can refer to ROMVAG as its largest customer worldwide with pride: More than 500 EWM machines are hard at work there.

■ PHOENIX forceArc

Heavy-duty vehicle superstructures such as aerial work platforms and lifting platforms are the speciality of Ro-manian company Medias Industries. The subsidiary of the American company JLG Industries, which operates internationally under the umbrella of the Oshkosh Corporation, constructed its modern production plant and began production in just a few short months. In their search for appropriate joining technology for the heavyweight welded constructions, the decision was made in favour of EWM forceArc® combined with the PHOENIX range of power sources. The specialist presen-tations and the demonstrations were too compelling to resist. What was surprising to everyone was the response of the experts from the “home of shielding gas welding”: Their statements ranged from “I’ve never been able to achieve such great welding results so easily before”, to “This process is an absolute wonder”, through to a simple “It’s great”. Both the Romanians and the Americans were particularly impressed with how securely the root was formed using forceArc® during the welding, as well as the precision of the arc during work and how quick manual work was. The economic potential did not go unnoticed by the course participants either.

“Production costs cut by 35%”

“PHOENIX 521 PULS forceArc power sources are the key to our success,” says Günter Alhäuser, Managing Director of steel construction company INKON. INKON is one of the leading providers of “modular noise protection walls”. Alhäuser adds: “Thanks to forceArc, production costs were cut by around 35%. For the full connections we weld with forceArc to produce noise protection walls for Deutsche Bahn, no preliminary work is necessary and we can weld the base plate with steel support as a butt joint. Now we only weld two layers rather than three previously, thereby saving on preliminary work, welding time, energy, fi ller material, shielding gas and fi nishing work. Following these results we immediately barred all other welding machines from our production site.”

“Hendriks Staalbouw is crazy about forceArc®!”

Involved in a wide range of activities, Hendriks Staal-bouw is one of the leading steel and mechanical en-gineering companies in the Netherlands. The company relies on MIG/MAG welding technologies in a big way and is now convinced that they work about twice as

fast with the EWM-forceArc® process.

“There is no alternative to forceArc®”

“Several equipment suppliers called on us during the offer phase. STM offered us the innovative welding solu-tion from EWM and demonstrated it to us. For our wel-ding tasks, which are carried out completely by hand in 2-shift operation, the forceArc® process is a real blessing. With its powerful and directionally stable arc it allows for very deep welding with fusion penetration that we could never achieve with conventional MAG processes. This makes smaller welding joints possible, thereby considerably reducing the amount of welding material required. EWM-forceArc® can work with a free wire end of 35 to 40 millimetres and can therefore ‘dip’ deeply into the narrow joint. In doing so, the arc remains ab-solutely stable and locked onto the operating point. For the range of goods we manufacture – joining large and thick metal sheets, pipes and profi les – there is no more cost-effective alternative in my opinion.”

“Unparalleled power”: a leap forward ine� ciency

20 Phoenix 521 Puls forceArc power sources – as effi cient as it is future-proof:“No other machine on the market produces such a powerful and exceptionally directionally stable arc; the benefi ts are invaluable, particularly in confi ned working conditions.” Es-sentially, forceArc® produces even seams and practically no spatter – reducing “cleaning” time alone by percent.

In addition, forceArc® offers a wide range of advantages: for instance, the preparation angle of the welding seam can be signifi cantly smaller or even eliminated completely – even full penetration welds are possible without any prepara-tion angle whatsoever. Furthermore, weld seam backing can often be dispensed with. This saves costs for wages, mate-rials, gas and energy, as well as reducing production times throughout the process chain.

Welding times halved – forceArc® makes a lasting impression

Gratings and staircases are the core business of the owner-managed Meiser Group. Welding expert Jan Schönweiß, IWS (Internati-onal welding specialist), de-scribes the improvement in quality and effi ciency Mei-ser has achieved by applying the forceArc® und coldArc® processes: “At our plant in Oelsnitz (Vogtland region) we mainly join structural steel (S235 and S355) using

the MIG/MAG process. The quality assurance department repeatedly came across one problem area on spiral stair-cases: the geometry of the structure previously meant that only one side could be joined; thus there were always cavi-ties that were diffi cult to galvanise. Thanks to the powerful and precise forceArc® process the spiral staircases are now produced with a full penetration weld. At the same time this allows us to create a seam with a throat thickness of 2 on the reverse side – entirely without welding a backing run. This is tantamount to a quality leap as this new so-lution guarantees a thoroughly homogeneous zinc layer. Using the forceArc® process for a staircase construction at Frankfurt Airport with several hundred treads we more than halved welding times“.In addition to saving shielding gas, power and welding con-sumables, the process also reduces welding time and seam preparation time for the company by around 50 percent, i.e. a whole hour in the case of ten treads.

State-of-the-art joining technology for innovative shipbuilding

The Meyer Werft shipyard of Papenburg, Germany has an excellent reputation around the world.For engineers at Meyer Werft, having access to advanced and e� cient production methods is an indispensible part of innovative shipbuilding. Their new laser centre contains an important new development in welding technology: 64 Phoenix-type welding systems with EWM forceArc, likely the most sought-after joining process for these types of welding tasks.

Meyer carefully considered the � nancial and technological bene� ts like those provided by the complete, customised solution. The advanced machines arranged above the workpieces weld more quickly and with greater precision than conventional systems. This is an important advantage, particularly when welding meter-long seams.

“Safety-related components – no problem with coldArc®”

For Berndt Heuter, welding engineer at automotive supplier NEEF, the case is clear: “coldArc works extremely well even with exceptionally long free wire ends. This opens up a host of new options when it comes to design.” The new EWM welding power sources are also proving their abilities in production because they are fully compatible with welding robots made by KUKA, FANUC and Reis, offering optimum quality in the process. “In the past, we had problems with spatter. With coldArc, we are now achieving outstanding seam finish with exceptionally low spatter,” adds Heuter. There is also excellent free wire stickout for tight seam openings.

“Over 40 percent saved with forceArc®”

“The current task for EWM-forceArc® is welding a full penetration weld on a boiler. The process reduces the welding time for the pronounced seam root required, we only need to carry out one final pass and the amount of work we used to have to do in terms of grin-ding is also reduced considerably”. For a specifi c welding task and a weld seam opening angle of 30 degrees we have been able to reduce the target time by around 20 percent. This includes a saving of around 75 percent in grinding work, the reduced amount of energy required and lower costs for filler metals. In total the overall savings were over 40 percent! Close contact as well as expert support have ensured rapid success. We have already identifi ed the next application for forceArc and other EWM systems.”

“Reliability around the clock”

“As a ‘factory within the factory’ we have to keep an eye on production costs; high unit volumes are required. 27 robot systems working in 3-shift operation weld up to 250 cabs a day for agricultural and forestry machinery. Each cab has over 300 weld seams, all of which must be perfect. The reliability of the welding power sources is an important productivity factor here: We are able to rely on the PHOENIX from EWM around the clock, and the service provided by our EWM partner is unparal-leled. We are completely satisfi ed on all counts. For two years now we also have been using the process innova-tion EWM forceArc® at a critical point in the production sequence. The targeted arc has enabled us to reduce lead times considerably.”

“Problem solved: the reliable welding process is the decisive factor at Liebherr”

forceArc® stays on track – “There are seams on some components that are diffi cult for the welding torch to reach when using the MAG standard process, in spite of the well thought-out design. The powerful arc provided by forceArc® helps us here as well. It burns with a concentrated arc and always follows the joint line, even with a very long free wire end (stick-out up to 40 millimetres).”

“forceArc® has provided us with the promised process reliability that we had hoped for, making it clearly superior to the conventional MAG process and signifi cantly increasing the quality of the welding seams.”

Powerhouses from Wilhelmshaven – forceArc® revolutionises welding in the crane construction sector

The Manitowoc Cranes factory in Wilhelmshaven produc-es mobile and telescopic hydraulic cranes with capacities ranging from 80 to 450 tons (Fig.1). As everywhere in steel construction, welding technology is the key production factor. After having experienced the innovative forceArc® welding process for one year, the welding engineer and production manager Dipl.-Ing. Michael Hüneke speaks of possibilities that had been considered impossible in weld-ing so far: “We are now able to weld full penetration welds with a defi ned fi llet weld on the seam root – without weld pool backing and chamfering. I am convinced that forceArc® will be our future course for further joining ap-plications”.

Safety � rst: premium quality makes a world leader

“Our intention with forceArc® was to make the MAG join-ing process even more reliable; we achieved a great leap in quality at the same time. By using it systematically in the root area and for intermediate layers, we save time, lots of time. In the past, the seam root had to be removed by air arc gouging before the backing run could be welded. Looking at the welding process alone, the procedure reduces non-productive time considerably – cleaning and gouging work is minimised, the welder keeps in time, the entire production chain keeps fl owing.”

“Fillet welds classifi ed as group B according to ISO 5817 are now produced with a defi ned hollow fi llet and correspond-ing overlap – and at 3 millimetres, the throat thickness also complies with the value required by the standard. We are aware of what this means for the future of welding technol-ogy.” It is now possible to weld certain seams from one side only; the backing run is created “automatically” – no joining – no welding.

IBG Automation GmbH, located in Neuenrade(Sauerland, Germany) constructs complex and highly individual automation systems for nearly every industrial branch. In 2007, the one-of-a-kind automated welding and assembly line for diesel soot particle fi lters made of sintered metal went into operation at the Menden factory of the vehicle parts manufacturer HJS Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH & Co. KG.IBG and HJS worked handinhand in its development and design.

An investment of millions of euro brought the 30-meter long production line, in which eight welding robots carry out their duties, into being; each of the robots is equipped with an inverter microplasma system and cold wire feed from EWM.

Since then, a fi lter – „packed“ in its housing – leaves the assembly line every two and a half minutes. With the help of 24/7 operation, this means that more than 200,000 fi lters can be manufactured every year. This is enough to meet the demands of the rapidly growing world market.
