Real-time digital data acquisition. The Model 307 captures and displays
real-time streaming data for welding current, pulsation, arc voltage and
travel speed during the weld and displays the data in graphical form on the
Model 307 screen at the end of the weld. The power supply can compare
the actual data gathered during the weld and report whether the weld
parameters were performed within pre-set acceptance limits.
Weld Logging. The Model 307’s Intel
®
Pentium
®
processor makes this
power supply uniquely suited for weld logging and weld documentation.
Weld records are created by the Model 307 when a weld identification (ID)
number is assigned to the weld. Users can select from a variety of fields of
Associated Data which include weld head and power supply serial num-
bers; material type and heat numbers of tubing, fittings or other weld com-
ponents; gas type, flow rates to weld head and weld I.D., dewar serial
number; and electrode type and geometry.
Project management. Rapid retrieval of weld records is important for
users who may be subject to audits from the FDA or other regulatory
agency. Weld records stored in the Model 307 memory can be retrieved by
project, weld identification number, date, welding operator, or other field.
Weld records can be downloaded onto elec-
tronic media or to a computer for compilation
of records for a particular job thus avoiding
the necessity of re-entering this data manu-
ally. Weld I.D. numbers as well as other iden-
tifying data may also be printed onto an
adhesive-backed plastic label that can be
used for weld identification purposes.
It should be understood that no welding
machine can unequivocally detect and indi-
cate the quality of a particular weld. The
Model 307 can, however, provide a detailed
