Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat. Show 2003 Booth 1616 RICHMOND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2003 Berkeley's Hardware and Software Control Solutions Enable Comprehensive Automation Of Welding Process; Increase Productivity Berkeley Process Control, Inc. (Berkeley) will showcase its innovative welding automation solutions and products at the AWS Welding Show 2003, to be held at Cobo Hall Cobo Hall, officially Cobo Conference/Exhibition Center, is a convention center situated in downtown Detroit, Michigan, USA. It and the adjacent Cobo Arena are named for Albert E. Cobo, mayor of Detroit from 1950 to 1957. in Detroit Michigan, April 8-10, 2003. Berkeley will demonstrate its automated pipe welding system, which is used to weld sections of pipe together while being linearly traversed and laid on the ocean floor. This demonstration shows, among other benefits, how Berkeley's control technologies have improved performance and throughput by eliminating the need to stop the linear feed of pipe, in order to weld subsequent pipe sections. Demonstrations will be held at Booth 1616 during show hours. Berkeley Innovations. Berkeley's 8-axis MachineWorks(R) tx system holds all values and parameters under its control with 15 decimal places decimal place n. The position of a digit to the right of a decimal point, usually identified by successive ascending ordinal numbers with the digit immediately to the right of the decimal point being first: of accuracy. The integrated controller runs all motion axes, I/Os, recipe scheduling, and operator interface functions. Critical process parameters are parametrically tied to each other to provide consistent weld generation under varying conditions. Users have access to weld parameters and can make on-the-fly adjustments while monitoring the weld puddle remotely. Designed for Harsh Environments. In addition to these technical advantages, the pipe welding demonstration also showcases Berkeley's mechanical design innovations which enable simple, modular and easy to service mechanisms, designed specifically for harsh environments. Berkeley Technology Solves Most Difficult Problems. "Berkeley's innovative technology delivers comprehensive automation of the welding process, resulting in ease of operation, reduced subjectivity, improved welding process control, and enhanced productivity," said Berkeley Director of Marketing Lenson Wong. "Our solutions have helped revolutionize rev·o·lu·tion·ize tr.v. rev·o·lu·tion·ized, rev·o·lu·tion·iz·ing, rev·o·lu·tion·iz·es 1. To bring about a radical change in: Television has revolutionized news coverage. 2. underwater pipeline welding and have solved some of the most difficult welding challenges facing the nuclear energy industry. We've proven our robust welding automation and control technology has virtually unlimited potential for solving the most difficult problems." Robust Error Handling; Advanced Diagnostics. Berkeley's show equipment demonstration features weld-head hardware designed for a workhorse work·horse n. 1. Something, such as a machine, that performs dependably under heavy or prolonged use: "the 50-year-old DC-3 ... production machine. Its simple, elegant mechanical design supports reliability and serviceability (system) serviceability - The ease with which corrective maintenance or preventative maintenance can be performed on a system (e.g. by a hardware service technician). Higher serviceability improves availability and reduces service cost. Serviceability is one component of RAS. . The demonstration exhibits Berkeley's automatic seam seam (sem) a line of union. osteoid seam on the surface of a bone, the narrow region of newly formed organic matrix not yet mineralized. tracking, robust error handling, and advanced diagnostics. At the heart of all Berkeley welding solutions is a high performance 64-bit RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. motion-and-machine control system. Berkeley's innovations in control technology have allowed for the marriage between traditional welding controls, and performance process control. This enables such features as automatic weld seam tracking, whereby the welding system teaches itself the relative positions and geometries of the components being welded together, allowing for more consistent and predictable welds while simultaneously improving throughput.
