Meet us at FABTECH 2021 in Chicago, Illinois
Pemamek is exhibiting welding automation technology at FABTECH 2021. This is one of the first major industry trade shows to resume as the pandemic restrictions are lifting across the nation. It will be held September 13 – 16 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. This year Pemamek is focusing especially on two things – laser scanning software for weldments and expertise and technology for the offshore wind manufacturing sector.
Named PEMA WeldControl 500, the new laser scanning software for weld seams “reads” the weld groove before the weld and after the weld from two separate angles. In this new laser scanning solution, essentially the operator of the automatic welding system sees a graphical representation of the weld groove geometry on a display screen at any given point in the seam.
Another benefit with this new technology is having remote access to the welding data out in a wind farm or at the power plant or wherever the installation stands or floats. For example, the data can be stored securely in the cloud while the wind tower or ship hull in question has a QR code associated with it that can be scanned by a QR code reader on a smartphone and the specific data can be reviewed.
“Nowadays, it’s all about data,” says Michael Bell, Director of Sales – North America. “This technology not only provides data for each point along the groove, but it is accurate, reliable, and searchable data that is extremely helpful to our customers and their customers, all the way down through the supply chain.”
Team PEMA is ready at FABTECH to discuss many large welding applications in a variety of industries, however a special focus at FABTECH this year is the offshore wind market. It is a growing market and Pemamek has developed several packaged solutions for the welding of wind tower production. For example, there are displays of its WS Welding Platform, the HFF Horizontal Flange Fitting Station, and Robotic Node welding technology. Wind sector experts are available to share best practices in automatic welding for wind towers and foundational structures.
