APN1 | Reliable partner for electric arc welding and brazing
The APN1 serves as a mechanical seam tracking system for electric arc processes. The system is robust and reliable thanks to patented Scansonic seam tracking.
Function description
The filler wire (or guide tip) precisely detects the weld edge and safely guides the joining process along the seam. Component tolerances are automatically compensated. At the same time, the wire itself is part of the joining process. The APN1 automatically compensates laterally and vertically for any deviations in the path of the joint from the programmed path of the robot.
Areas of application
- Arc welding and brazing
- MIG/MAG process, especially CMT® and Cold Arc®
- WIG, Plasma of various manufactures
- Plasmatron®
- Various steel alloys, sintered metals, aluminium
- Single-bevel tee butt weld
- Fillet seam at lap joint
- Fillet seam at T-joint
Advantages
- Improved seam quality due to optimised process parameters
- Impervious to soiling, extraneous light, and the influence of heat
- Not contigent on pre-production, machining, or master machine tolerances
- Welding of small radii and complexx seam paths
- Consistent welding arc length
- Easy handling - Low programming requirements for robot/master machine
Properties
- Control system either with digital inputs/outputs or field bus interface
- Suitable for both cold and hot wire techniques
- Alternative use of guide tip (MIG/MAG
