PIPEMASTER POWER SOURCE Model 515 Power Source/Controller for "Full Function" weld heads Use with Quickclamp Weld Head models D-Head Weld Head
Revolutionary, Not Evolutionary
The latest generation of Pipemaster power sources is the result of a new direction in power source design. The Model 515 brings the benefits of digital technology to the orbital welding customer: unparalleled accuracy, repeatability, and reliability. The new model is half the size and weight of previous models. Digital technology forever eliminates the need for periodic weld Head calibration - motor speeds and response characteristics remain accurate and stable regardless of wear, and weld Heads can be interchanged without time-consuming calibration. Software upgrades can be sent as e-mail attachments and loaded using a standard USB portable flash drive "memory key" (provided). The Model 515 is "internet ready" for future enhancements such as a web-based diagnostic service. Two autoranging versions are available: a lighter weight 115/230 VAC input model, or with a wider 115/480 VAC input range, to operate on any input voltage worldwide. Both operate on 1 or 3 phase, 50/60 Hz.

Features:	Multi-pass welding of pipes/tubes Full function capability (torch rotation, filler wire feed, electronic arc gap control, electronic oscillation) 200 Amp Output Autoranging input eliminates all internal modifications Up to 100 levels per program (time-based programs) Stores 100 weld programs internally AutoProgram automatically generates procedures Programming and operation guided by simple prompts Teach mode allows rapid program development Programmable "override limits" provide supervisory control Weld parameter monitoring/out-of-limits reporting for QA/QC purpose Transfer programs and QC data to PC using USB flash drive "Memory Key" AutoTack automatically generates tack weld programs Large color LCD display Stainless steel case Help Files provide immediate information/assistance Password protection of key functions Waterproof Remote Pendant (25"/8m cable) Auto rewind feature unwraps cable at weld completion All weld Head functions capable of synchronization with pulsed current output Selectable Position or Time-based programming Integral switch prevents welding without torch gas glow Integral printer Detachable coolant recirculator with integral flow switch protection Meets applicable NEMA, CE, CSA standards

Options:	Cart with bottle rack Extension cables Rugged storage/shipping case Lighter weight 115/230 VAC version

Remote Pendant:	This handheld control is used to both program and remotely operate the power source. Designed to withstand hard use, the pendant incorporates a completely sealed, waterproof silicone rubber panel keypad, impervious to grinding debris and weld spatter. The color LCD display is protected by a tempered glass shield. The intuitive switch layout allows the welder to make program override corrections without lifting his hood.

Coolant Recirculator :	Detachable coolant recirculator mounts beneath power source with integral flow switch protection

Teach Mode:	Teach Mode speeds program development. Approximately parameter values are entered or copied from an existing program.

Programmable Overrides Provide Supervisory Control:	The welder may override programmed parameters but only within preset limits. Password protected override limits are set for each parameter (0-100% of programmed value).

Simplified Programming:	Specifying the weld Head to be used from a "dropdown" menu automatically selects the preferred programming mode - position or time. Time-based programming is generally preferred for weld Heads making simple fusion welds. Multipass pipe weld Heads are operated using position-based programming, eliminating calculations to determine when parameter changes must be made. A sensor in the weld Head provides position information. All welding parameters may be changed at each level.

Weld Monitoring/QC:	Additional documentation and notes can be added to weld programs and QC records, providing traceability to individual drawings, projects, and customers.
