CONTROLS

The Q90 enables the central control of a welding system and provides the interface between man, PC and welding system. With its touch screen and innovative operating concept, the Q90 is clear and easy to operate. The Q90 has an integrated, flexible fieldbus interface for all common fieldbus types. Compared to our Q80, the Q90 calculates more than twice as fast, has four times the memory, a capacitive multi-touch display and an integrated fieldbus interface. Our control units calculate optimum parameters for welding processes according to basic data such as material, filler material, wire feed speed and gas type. The Q90 can handle various welding processes (I-pulse, MIG/MAG, U-pulse, KF-pulse, microMIG, MMT-X, TIG, TIG-pulse, cold wire) with automatic tracking of the welding parameters (AutoComp) in the event of changes in the environment, such as position errors of the welding torch, temperature fluctuations, draughts, etc. In combination with robots, for example, the Q90 can automatically adapt the welding parameters to the path speed of the welding process (SynchroWeld). With its Ethernet interface, the Q90 takes over the communication of our system with the outside world. With our PC software Q8Tool, centralised or decentralised data management and seamless welding data recording are guaranteed. The Q90 is fluent in MQTT and OPC-UA. With an optional license, the Q90 can record welding data completely internally and transfer it to our Q8xRemote visualization software.
