PRODUCT REVIEWS

Digitisation and networking

Intelligent solutions for faster , more economical and more flexible welding production ; at the EuroBLECH exhibition , CLOOS will present technologies from entry to premium level and from manual welding machines to chained robot systems . From 25 to 28 October , visitors to the CLOOS exhibition stand H52 in Hall 26 will see a wide range of products for manual and automated welding . The focus of the exhibition stand will be on the topics of networking and digitisation .
“ The increasing fusion of the physical and virtual worlds enables optimal control and continuous improvement of manual and automated welding production ,” said CLOOS managing director , Stephan Pittner ( CEO ). “ We are therefore continuously expanding our range of digital solutions .”
With the C-Gate IoT platform , users can access information from their welding production in real-time . All information is entered and processed centrally in an integrated information and communication tool . This allows users to monitor and control their production processes . It features several modules which users can activate , depending on their individual digitalisation strategy – consistently from the manual welding power source to the fully automated production line .
CLOOS RoboPlan software enables offline programming of automated robot welding systems . RoboPlan enables the generation of welding and travel paths as well as sensor routines at 3D models and their direct transfer into the robot controller . The QIROX welding system includes
The new QINEO ArcBoT offers easy entry into automated welding . the robot technology , positioners , safety technology , software , sensors and the interface to the process technology . The modular design allows scalable solutions which can match different applications and individual production requirements . The portfolio comprises simple , compact standard systems as well as complex , chained systems with automated workpiece identification and loading and unloading processes .
“ A highlight of our exhibition stand will be the automated hightech production line that shows different welding processes as well as upstream and downstream production processes . More and more often , our customers want to integrate automated welding technology with handling and grinding applications in one production line . We will also show automated grinding and polishing in the chained robot system at EuroBLECH ,” added CLOOS .
In addition , CLOOS will also present the new QINEO ArcBoT for automated

welding of even small batch sizes . The hightech MIG / MAG welding power source and Cobot complement each other . The compact “ ready to weld ” package is delivered ready for operation for integration into existing production processes . As an option , the QINEO ArcBoT can be equipped with torchintegrated welding fume extraction .
“ In the Welders ’ World on the CLOOS exhibition stand , trade visitors can experience the constantly growing product range of our QINEO welding machines live . The new QINEO QuesT complements the portfolio for high-end TIG applications . This welding power source was specially developed for TIG welding processes ,” added the company .
The new QINEO welding power sources feature digital connectivity , energy efficiency and the option of integrating new welding processes . Innovative welding processes , such as Fine Weld and MoTion Weld , as well as new combination options of different processes in one weld seam are also available . n
