SPATZ Software Family

The entire configuration, parameterization and visualization of the welding parameters is done via our SPATZ software family.

SPATZStudio Programming and analysis software

 

Features:

• Weld controller programming via USB
• Complete online functionality
• QA analysis of the data sets of the last 100 000 welds and of the curve sets of the last 1 000 welds
• Error protocol with display of weld parameter progression of e.g. weld current, voltage and electrode force for each welding error

SPATZStudioNET Line management suite

 

Features:

• Complete integration of the SPATZStudio software

 

Extended features:

• Administration and communication of up to 100 SPATZ+ controllers via Ethernet
• Firmware update of all connected weld controllers
• Consistent error and change log files
• Automatic backup function whenever settings and parameters are changed, including changes via SPATZStudio software
• Point or program related online statistics:
  
  • relative occurrence of weld expulsions
  • percentage deviation from MASTER reference weld current
  • percentage deviation from MASTER reference weld time
  • relative frequency of NUGGETIndex errors
• Permanent storage of QA data of individually selected weld controllers
• Access to programming menus and functions can be programmed with individually set user permissions. There is no limit to the number of different access levels. Login is accomplished via password or USB stick identification.
• Creation of MASTER database and transfer of MASTER reference programs from MDB to SPATZ+ weld controllers.
• First data import for fast production line start up. Extracted data files from customer database are used for upload to destined weld controllers.
