SPATZMulti04 Innovative Weld Checker and Weld Monitor for RSW

The SPATZMulti04 is an innovative, manufacturer-independent welding recorder. It enables the simultaneous recording, analysis and monitoring of all important process variables, such as welding current, electrode force and voltage. It is the first weld monitor which is capable monitoring all 4 weld parameters within just one device.

SPATZMulti04

Monitored process parameters:

Welding current Resistance Energy / Power Voltage Electrode force Welding time Penetration

Sensors

• Safe and unmistakable locking by high quality color coded sensor connectors
• Possible PLC coupling by two digital inputs and outputs (24 V DC)
• Automatic detection of SPATZMulti04 sensors as well as suitable sensors from other suppliers
• Voltage measurement lines integrated in the SPATZMulti04 force sensors allow accurate measurements and thus weld time optimization

Data recording

• Simultaneous and gapless recording of process variables in the internal memory or on an SD-HC memory card
• Supplied 8 GB SD-HC memory card and maximum memory capacity up to a 32 GB SD-HC memory card
• Easy data transfer to the PC via SD-HC memory card
• Possible storage of more than 1 000 000 recordings and more than 10 000 welding process curves

Data analysis and quality assurance

• Clear presentation of measured values and curves
• Freely configurable selection of displayed measurement data
• Selective zoom function for either enlarged or reduced view of the process curves in amplitude and time
• Exact analysis possibilities with regards to the electricity increase times, power construction times, phase cuts, spatter detection and electrode penetration through clear user interface structures
• Data export and conversion for spreadsheet software (into CSV data format) via supplied converter software
• Additional data evaluation possible on PC via SPATZQS+ quality assurance software

Particularities

• Intuitive interface with extensive content sensitive help in every menu item
• By default German, English, French and Portuguese user languages preinstalled
• Safe storage and easy transport of the SPATZMulti04 weld recorder, as well as the associated cables and sensors, included in the delivery carrying case
