A welding equipment OEM was experiencing poor leak rates with their plasma cutting systems. Learn more about how Clippard's solution significantly increased the performance and efficiency of their system.

Problem:

Welding equipment OEM faces high operational costs and poor leak rates

A welding equipment OEM was experiencing a number of challenges with their plasma cutting systems. The systems traditionally consume over 100W of power, leading to high operational costs and inefficiency. Additionally, poor leak rate performance can waste expensive gases. Limited gas blending and pressure control capabilities were another issue that was impeding the cutting process. The lack of effective feedback mechanisms was hampering the regulation of cutting gas pressure and the maintenance of the gas shield around the cutting arc.

Solution:

Clippard develops a comprehensive solution that enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and improves control

Clippard designed a comprehensive solution that significantly improved the performance and efficiency for the OEM. The new system integrated 14 ES valves to pilot MJV cartridge gas control valves and five compact pressure sensors within three custom manifolds. This solution enhanced the system's energy efficiency by 90%, lowered operational costs, improved leak rate performance, and reduced the weight and size by 50%, making it more adaptable and easier to integrate into various industrial setups. Enhanced gas blending and pressure control capabilities optimized the cutting processes, while advanced feedback mechanisms ensured accurate regulation of cutting gas pressure and maintained the gas shield, thereby improving the quality and consistency of the cutting process.
