Q: If there is a leak in the robot circuit , is it detected in any way?

If the gas consumption adjusted in the alarm for the waiting time - between weld and weld - is exceeded, it will notify us. What's more, if we leave the plant out of service between workdays and forget to close the gas , warn us,and will close the gas, avoiding unnecessary expense.

Q: How can I know what has happened in my robot cell after a fault warning?

The controller keeps a screen with the event occurred, even if it disappears, until someone presses the "OK". You will know what has happened even if the cause of the alarm has disappeared, the welding cell was unattended and nobody noticed anything at the time. Therefore, a production without alarms is a quality manufacturing lot .

Q: For what gases is the VIGILAWELD prepared and calibrated ?

We can work with pure gases , like Co2 - Nitrogen - Air - Argon - Oxigen - we can also select one adjustable gas density between 1000 and 2000 gr. M3. Nevertheless it leaves factory calibrated for gases between 1600 and 1800 gr / m3. if you need calibration for another density ask for it when ordering .

Q: What are the minimum and maximum work flows ?

Regulates flow rates between 5 and 25 liters / minute.

Q: Can I change the flow rate as and when I want , without having to manually operate the regulator unit every time?

The WGC1 can apply different selected gas flow rates, which may be required by the robot through a combination of digital contact inputs, even change during welding from one to another. You can use up to seven preset WELD-FLOW rates and seven different POS-FLOW rates.

Q: Can we preset analogally the gas flow?

YES..., it has an analog input to which we can connect a voltage output of the robot . Each volt applied to the input is 10 liters / minute. In this way the different flow rates to be applied are unlimited or even generate increasing or waning gas ramps. In the same way as the robot , or robotic installation , is the one that controls the welding current , now the robot can also adjust the required gas flow , independently of the welding current , with fully flexibility ... it can receive the gas setpoint digitally or analog way

Q: Can I know the actual flow that is reaching the nozzle?

Yes... we see not only the gas consigned , but also the actual gas we apply, and the most interesting ... we can monitor it automatically because it has an analog output where 1 volt is 10 liters / minute of the REAL FLOW , the robot can check this voltage , and be able to make graphs of each seam or establish parameters of quality control or traceability to the customer.
