Monitors welding operations

Finnish welding equipment manufacturer Kemppi OY's new advanced welding quality management system is designed to monitor MIG/MAG and TIG welding operations. Called Kemppi Arc System 2.0 - ArcQuality (ArcQ), it is available through Kemppi UK.

Until now many welding projects undertaken in fabrication industries have had minimal qualitative proof that the welding was completed using approved parameters, filler materials and qualified personnel.

The Kemppi Arc System 2.0, module ArcQuality (ArcQ) provides an accurate and formal solution by measuring and identifying WPS deviations outside certain parameters and recording the errors. By comparing the information collected against qualified welding procedure specifications, it provides a solution to define and verify welding quality, avoiding deviations that can result in serious quality issues if left unchecked.

Features include ensuring welders hold valid and up-to-date qualifications, arc and non-arc time reporting, creation of nonconformance reports, automated data collection, welding equipment management tool, anticipates service needs and records service history.
