Currently we have the VT Logger and the Veraweld automatic welding system.  

MONITOR/LOGGER EQUIPMENT

The VT logger is our portable weld process monitor and logging device, which allows monitoring the following welding parameters.   Travel speed: Travel speed can be measured as follows:
  • Hall effect sensor fixed in a current box
  • Clamp-on meter for easy and fast connection
  Wire speed: Wire speed can be measured as follows:
  • Incremental encoder integrated in a wire straighter unit
  • Clamp-on DC tachometer
  Gas Flow: Gas flow can be measured as follows:
  • In-line Gas flow meter (max.  pressure 25 Psi)
  Every second a set of measurements is displayed on a small LCD monitor. When the arc voltage and arc current do so indicate, the measurement sets are stored on the logger’s harddisk. The measurements are grouped into layers, which have to be named by the operator; each layer is automatically divided into runs, each corresponding with the moment that the actual welding started. When a standard line printer is connected, then for every run a print-out is produced, with a line of data every second. While the VT logger is logging new data, older data can be reviewed as well.   General Specification (may vary for other models)

THE VERAWELD

The Veraweld is our all-round robotic orbital welder, with which we have proven our expertise in developing and manufacturing computer aided welding equipment. The Veraweld system is a successful formula in the pipeline construction society, in both on- and offshore pipeline construction.  
The basic elements for the success of Veraweld are:
  • the very high deposition rate, with a low repair rate
  • the flexibility in practical use
  • the light, small and solid design
  • the ease of operation
  • the ability to weld all passes and weld processes with one system
  • the ability of data logging off all welding parameters
  • the ability to hook-up Veraweld with client’s own auxiliary equipment
  • the all pipeline conditions resistant design
  • the Vermaat’s training and support facilities
  • the possibility for clients to own automatic equipment and know-how
  Today’s computer and manipulation technology has created the possibility to preset all the welding parameters for each welding pass and for all positions over the entire pipe circumference into the computer. A complete set of preset values can be selected by just pressing a button on the remote control.   Single torch The device is actually moving a welding torch along the seam. It allows the torch to move up and down, to move left and right and even to change the angle with the pipe surface.   Dual torch The dual torch works the same as the single torch. The difference is that the dual torch has two welding torches which can be programmed differently from each other, therefore the dual torch is faster.   Bug remote controller 3 (BRC 3) The Bug Remote Controller (BRC) is a little handheld button-box, which is connected to the BCC and allows the operator to select welding parameters for the current welding pass, to test the system, to start/stop welding and to make corrections during welding. This Bug Remote Controller is third in line. Like is predecessors it allows the welder to control the bug in the most effective way. VeraWeld ArcLink software gives the welding engineer the opportunity to make precise adjustments with the button parameters for welding within the tolerances of a welding procedure. The Bug Remote Control is shock and dust proof, light weight and has flashlight support.   Bug control cabinet 5 (BCC 5) The Bug Control Cabinet (BCC) contains all the electronics to control the Welding Bug, the wire feeder, the gas valve(s) and the welding converter. The new design makes it possible to use the BCC5 in very narrow spaces. By using the latest technologies Vermaat Technics realised a faster, more stable and user friendly Bug Control System. The BCC5 is functional with several different inverters and its software is naturally based on many years of experience.   Support software The Support Software is a package of programs for a personal computer running Windows, which allows the operator to edit welding parameters for different welding passes, monitor the welding process during welding and print out welding reports.   Welding converter A welding converter provides the power necessary to actually weld. Converters supported so far: Lincoln and Miller power sources   Wire feeder Feeds the material in the welding puddle. Normally needs to be modified to work with our system. The welding-head (bug) then can be started to weld at any position in full accordance (and controlled by the computer) with the preset parameters. The computer controls the entire welding process, by monitoring and adjusting the following parameters:
  • welding current
  • arc voltage
  • welding speed
  • torch angle and height
  • pulsation speed (if used)
  • up and down slope
  • burn back
  • gas flow and pre flow
  • wire speed
  • operator interference through remote control
  What we mean by multi-purpose and flexibility is the possibility to weld GMAW (MIG/MAG), FCAW (Inner shield and Outer shield), GTAW (TIG), or a combination of those processes and all the passes with the same equipment in a manner as explained before. Data logging of the parameters of the actual welding execution will be appreciated by your proposed clients (pipelines consignees) because of the adaptability to their QA/QC programs and is an important contribution to a controlled and therefore better welding execution. If you want to see our Veraweld system in action, do not hesitate to contact us to make an appointment for a live demonstration. You can use the question section on this site to do this.   Specifications for single torch
