K3172-1 / MAXsa® 19 MSA Controller

SUBMERGED ARC CONTROLLERS FOR FABRICATION INTEGRATORS AND ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS

The MAXsa® 19 MSA (Modified Series Arc) controllers are specifically designed to relay wire feed commands to the MAXsa® 29 when a customer-supplied user interface is used in place of the MAXsa® 10 controller. Typically, this occurs in third party fabrication integrator solutions that include integration hardware like turning rolls, panel lines, seamers and pipe mills fixturing.

Modified Series Arc is a single pass, one-sided process developed for plate joining, typically in gantry-mounted applications. New digital solutions based on the use of the Power Wave® AC/DC 1000® SD advanced submerged arc welding power source provide a number of advantages over conventional Modified Series Arc systems.

Modified Series Arc™ process with MAXsa® 19 MSA Controller Compared to conventional MSA systems:

• Greater Control

  • Direct control of the series wire and ground current, resulting in added stability, improved and consistent back bead appearance and independent control of the heat input and deposition rate.
  • Weld plates up to 3/4 in. thick vs. 5/8 in. thick with conventional systems.
  • Presettable welding parameters, all set through the PLC
  • Eight user procedure memories
  • Fast, reliable digital system communication
  • Run the third wire on CC or CV
  • Three phase operation, compared to single phase for conventional systems.
  • Weld production and quality monitoring through Lincoln Electric CheckPoint™, Production Monitoring™ and WeldScore™ software.

• Increased Productivity

  • Travel Speeds increase up to 28%, depending on plate thickness.
  • Weld faster on thinner plate with lower heat inputs and reduced distortion.

• IP23 Rated
