Safe measurement, indication and control of rotational speed
Application-Report - Validation and Calibration of
Welding Equipment
Task:
The speeds of welding wires for manual welding systems,
robot welding plants and longer conveyor lines need to
be measured (WPQR = Welding Procedure Qualification
Records).

It is also necessary to carry out validation and calibration
tasks. This is because companies that work in accordance
with the standards EN 1090/EN 50504/CE or
ISO 9001/9002 have to have their welding equipment
calibrated annually.
A further task involves rapid and cost-effective
troubleshooting.
Solution:
The digital hand-held tachometer rotaro Tw (A5-1279) with
the special adapter Tw was specially developed for the specific requirements when measuring speeds and lengths in the
welding industry.
The easy handling and measuring accuracy of the digital
hand-held tachometer rotaro Tw, along with the option enabling the device to be recalibrated according to the required
industrial standard, were the main reasons for the purchase
decision according to the customer Cloos.
The Tw adapter is plugged onto the digital hand-held tachometer rotaro, allowing it to measure welding wires with a
diameter of 0.8 to 3 mm. Typical applications of the rotaro
Tw involve calibration, maintenance and service tasks within
the welding and wire industry.
In conjunction with the digital hand-held tachometer rotaro,
the special adapter Tw complies with the requisite standards
and can therefore be utilised as an additional measuring
instrument in this field. It is used for measuring the wire feed
speed mechanically and serves for determining and monitoring quality-relevant parameters for welding applications
during production.
