Installing a pipe network, is no longer just about welding pipe. The most important factors are making sure the operator works to the highest possible standards, and all the welding information is safely stored and easily accessible.

To achieve this in an ever changing market place, our electrofusion welding units control all aspects of the welding through software. If there is a new mode of operation required, or a change in working practices, then this can be altered through software. If fully automatic bar code welding is required, then the welding unit can be locked into this mode. If a change to the data log information is needed to comply with contract requirements, then this can be amended. All of this through software.

The software in the welding unit can be quickly updated through the external USB connector. New software is emailed to the customer, then loaded onto a USB memory pen. This is then plugged into the welding unit. From the menu system, a password can be entered that will read the new software from the memory pen and flash update the welding unit.

The operation of the welding unit is just half the story. Once the weld has been carried out, the information is stored in the internal memory. This can then be downloaded onto an industry standard USB memory pen.

Data can be downloaded in two different formats: a plain text csv file that can be opened with Microsoft Excel, or an encrypted format that requires special software.

Each welding unit is supplied with the Download Manager Software that will read both formats of data. This software will display, filter, graph and print the weld information, and allow it to be saved into other formats.

If you have a specific requirement for the operation of the software, then we can help you out.
