Auto-Continuum™Systems

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Auto-Continuum™ Systems are advanced automated MIG welding systems designed for industrial applications. They support processes like Versa-Pulse™, Accu-Pulse® MIG, RMD®, and high-deposition MIG, catering to diverse materials and welding needs.
Specifications: These systems operate on Auto-Line™ input power of 230–575 V, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz. The Auto-Continuum 350 provides 350 A at 31.5 V with a 100% duty cycle, while the 500 model offers 500 A at 39 V with a 100% duty cycle. The output range for the 350 model is 20–400 A, 10–44 V, and for the 500 model, it is 20–600 A, 10–44 V. Additional specifications include a power input of 50 VDC and wire diameter capacity of .035–5/64 in. (0.9–2.0 mm).
Key Features: The systems feature an adaptive arc for consistent welds, easy integration with robotic systems, and enhanced power for reliability. Integrated Welding Intelligence™ solutions monitor and improve welding operations.
Applications: Suitable for construction equipment, automotive components, recreational vehicles, farm machinery, office furniture, and mining machinery.
Welding Processes: The systems support various processes for specific applications such as deposition, gap filling, low heat input, and increased travel speed. Versa-Pulse™ is noted for low spatter and high-speed automation, while Accu-Pulse® is adaptable across different weld positions.
Integration and Flexibility: Designed for simple integration with major industrial robot brands, the systems can be adapted for both automation and hand-held applications. They support communication protocols like EtherNet/IP™, DeviceNet, and Analog.
Welding Intelligence: Insight Welding Intelligence™ provides data for continuous improvement, offering metrics on productivity and weld quality. Optional features include real-time feedback and Part Tracking™ to reduce rework costs.
Environmental Considerations: Processes like Versa-Pulse and Accu-Pulse reduce fume generation by up to 50% compared to traditional methods, aligning with OSHA's hierarchy of control for workplace safety.
Additional Features: The systems include quick-change drive rolls, Tru-Feed™ technology for precise wire feeding, and Auto-Line™ power management for flexible voltage input. They also feature Wind Tunnel Technology™ and Fan-On-Demand™ for improved reliability and reduced power consumption.
Consulting Services: Factory-trained technical support is available for complex applications at $1,250.00 per day (plus expenses) with more than 10 days notice.
Communication and Connectivity: DeviceNet and Ethernet communication cables are available in various lengths, along with DeviceNet to Analog Adapter and Analog Receptacle Kits for different robot brands.
Accessories: The Auto-Continuum Robotic MIG Kit includes wire drive motor assembly, flowmeter regulator, weld cables, motor control cable, Ethernet cable, drive roll kit, and conduit assembly. Motor Mounting Brackets and coolant systems are also available.
Installation and Configuration: Typical installations include motor control cable, electrode cable, work cable, and volt-sense cable. Robot Controller Connection options include EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, and Analog.
Ordering Information: Power Source options for Auto-Continuum 350 and 500 with different communication protocols are available, along with various accessories and software packages for purchase separately.
