“Economic benefits”
Container and apparatus construction
The company Scholz has been able to reduce production times by around 50 percent using EWM-forceArc®.
In the process, the pure productivity figures were increased by 30% using a spray arc instead of the MIG/MAG
welding process.
The constricted arc achieves very deep fusion penetration.
Scholz was also able to reduce its welding times due to
the lower number of welding layers and the reduced
amount of materials and time required.
Further cost savings were achieved via the changeover
from cored to solid wire.

“Total cost savings of up to 50% – that’s what
won us over!”
One of the leading innovators in crane manufacturing
is Voith-Werke based in Traun, Austria. Andreas Lackner,
Managing Director, explains: “We deliver quality,
something that is clear right from the weld seams.
PHOENIX power sources combined with forceArc provide
unprecedented levels of efficiency and quality. For
example, previously the 12 m metal sheet for a beam
had to be prewelded with a butt joint manually, with
the final pass being added using an MMA process. We
are now using forceArc for all layers.” Andreas Brunmair,
welding engineer at Voith, adds: “On our mechanised
welding line, we produce seams of up to 60 metres in
length. Thanks to EWM, we can now interconnect two
PHOENIX 521 power sources and generate welding
current of up to 1,000 amperes. We move along extralong seams requiring up to an hour to weld to 450
amperes on a 100% duty cycle.”

“We now manufacture 260 mm metal sheets with
130 layers instead of 180 layers as previously!”
Austrian supplier ISW steel components from Ennsdorf builds heavy duty components, weighing up to 80
tonnes, for tool machine manufacturers. Joining technology is the top priority.
As owner Gerhard Limberger says: “With forceArc, each
weld seam can now be produced faster and with less
spatter, as well as with considerably less distortion of the
work piece and no undercuts. forceArc’s short spray arc
has such high directional stability that it never deviates
from the target, even with free wire ends of 40 mm.
With forceArc we save a great number of filler layers,
which reduces costs when it comes to filler wire, shielding gas, energy and finishing work.”

“On the move with ROMVAG
on Europe’s railway routes”
The Romanian company ROMVAG S.A. in Caracal manufactures superstructures for goods wagons and rail
tankers. Both national and private railway and transport companies from virtually all European and Baltic
states are now among their customers. There is a total
of over 70,000 wagons with ROMVAG superstructures
traversing Europe’s railway routes. Barely one year ago,
modern pulse welding technology was adopted by
ROMVAG in the form of the EWM forceArc® which is
unbeatable in terms of efficiency and quality. In addition to consulting, comprehensive welding tests were
carried out first, in which the innovative process proved
its worth with flying colours. The process had already
received the approval of all the certification bodies in
Germany as well. For example, it has also already been
approved by Deutsche Bahn AG.
EWM can refer to ROMVAG as its largest customer
worldwide with pride: More than 500 EWM machines
are hard at work there.

EWM-forceArc® and Medias: “It’s great!”
Heavy-duty vehicle superstructures such as aerial work
platforms and lifting platforms are the speciality of Romanian company Medias Industries. The subsidiary of
the American company JLG Industries, which operates
internationally under the umbrella of the Oshkosh
Corporation, constructed its modern production plant
and began production in just a few short months. In
their search for appropriate joining technology for the
heavyweight welded constructions, the decision was
made in favour of EWM forceArc® combined with the
PHOENIX range of power sources. The specialist presentations and the demonstrations were too compelling
to resist. What was surprising to everyone was the
response of the experts from the “home of shielding
gas welding”: Their statements ranged from “I’ve never
been able to achieve such great welding results so
easily before”, to “This process is an absolute wonder”,
through to a simple “It’s great”. Both the Romanians
and the Americans were particularly impressed with
how securely the root was formed using forceArc®
during the welding, as well as the precision of the arc
during work and how quick manual work was. The
economic potential did not go unnoticed by the course
participants either.

“Production costs cut by 35%”
“PHOENIX 521 PULS forceArc power sources are the key
to our success,” says Günter Alhäuser, Managing Director
of steel construction company INKON. INKON is one of
the leading providers of “modular noise protection
walls”. Alhäuser adds: “Thanks to forceArc, production
costs were cut by around 35%. For the full connections
we weld with forceArc to produce noise protection walls
for Deutsche Bahn, no preliminary work is necessary and
we can weld the base plate with steel support as a butt
joint. Now we only weld two layers rather than three
previously, thereby saving on preliminary work, welding
time, energy, filler material, shielding gas and finishing
work. Following these results we immediately barred all
other welding machines from our production site.”

“Hendriks Staalbouw is crazy about forceArc®!”
Steel and plant construction
Involved in a wide range of activities, Hendriks Staalbouw is one of the leading steel and mechanical engineering companies in the Netherlands. The company
relies on MIG/MAG welding technologies in a big way
and is now convinced that they work about twice as
fast with the EWM-forceArc® process.

“There is no alternative to forceArc®”
“Several equipment suppliers called on us during the
offer phase. STM offered us the innovative welding solution from EWM and demonstrated it to us. For our welding tasks, which are carried out completely by hand in
2-shift operation, the forceArc® process is a real blessing.
With its powerful and directionally stable arc it allows
for very deep welding with fusion penetration that we
could never achieve with conventional MAG processes.
This makes smaller welding joints possible, thereby
considerably reducing the amount of welding material
required. EWM-forceArc® can work with a free wire end
of 35 to 40 millimetres and can therefore ‘dip’ deeply
into the narrow joint. In doing so, the arc remains absolutely stable and locked onto the operating point. For
the range of goods we manufacture – joining large and
thick metal sheets, pipes and profiles – there is no more
cost-effective alternative in my opinion.”

“Unparalleled power”: a leap forward in
efficiency
Steel and plant construction
20 Phoenix 521 Puls forceArc power sources – as efficient
as it is future-proof:
“No other machine on the market produces such a powerful
and exceptionally directionally stable arc; the benefits are
invaluable, particularly in confined working conditions.” Essentially, forceArc® produces even seams and practically no
spatter – reducing “cleaning” time alone by percent.
In addition, forceArc® offers a wide range of advantages: for
instance, the preparation angle of the welding seam can be
significantly smaller or even eliminated completely – even
full penetration welds are possible without any preparation angle whatsoever. Furthermore, weld seam backing can
often be dispensed with. This saves costs for wages, materials, gas and energy, as well as reducing production times
throughout the process chain.

Welding times halved – forceArc® makes a
lasting impression
Gratings and staircases are
the core business of the
owner-managed
Meiser
Group. Welding expert Jan
Schönweiß, IWS (International welding specialist), describes the improvement in
quality and efficiency Meiser has achieved by applying
the forceArc® und coldArc®
processes: “At our plant in
Oelsnitz (Vogtland region)
we mainly join structural
steel (S235 and S355) using
the MIG/MAG process. The quality assurance department
repeatedly came across one problem area on spiral staircases: the geometry of the structure previously meant that
only one side could be joined; thus there were always cavities that were difficult to galvanise. Thanks to the powerful
and precise forceArc® process the spiral staircases are now
produced with a full penetration weld. At the same time
this allows us to create a seam with a throat thickness of
2 on the reverse side – entirely without welding a backing
run. This is tantamount to a quality leap as this new solution guarantees a thoroughly homogeneous zinc layer.
Using the forceArc® process for a staircase construction
at Frankfurt Airport with several hundred treads we more
than halved welding times“.
In addition to saving shielding gas, power and welding consumables, the process also reduces welding time and seam
preparation time for the company by around 50 percent, i.e.
a whole hour in the case of ten treads.

State-of-the-art joining technology for innovative
shipbuilding
Shipbuilding
The Meyer Werft shipyard of Papenburg, Germany has an
excellent reputation around the world.
For engineers at Meyer Werft, having access to advanced
and efficient production methods is an indispensible part
of innovative shipbuilding. Their new laser centre contains
an important new development in welding technology: 64
Phoenix-type welding systems with EWM forceArc, likely the
most sought-after joining process for these types of welding
tasks.
Meyer carefully considered the financial and technological
benefits like those provided by the complete, customised
solution. The advanced machines arranged above the
workpieces weld more quickly and with greater precision
than conventional systems. This is an important advantage,
particularly when welding meter-long seams.

For Berndt Heuter, welding engineer at automotive
supplier NEEF, the case is clear: “coldArc works extremely
well even with exceptionally long free wire ends. This
opens up a host of new options when it comes to
design.” The new EWM welding power sources are also
proving their abilities in production because they are
fully compatible with welding robots made by KUKA,
FANUC and Reis, offering optimum quality in the process.
“In the past, we had problems with spatter. With coldArc,
we are now achieving outstanding seam finish with
exceptionally low spatter,” adds Heuter. There is also
excellent free wire stickout for tight seam openings.

“Over 40 percent saved with forceArc®”
“The current task for EWM-forceArc® is welding a full
penetration weld on a boiler. The process reduces the
welding time for the pronounced seam root required,
we only need to carry out one final pass and the
amount of work we used to have to do in terms of grinding is also reduced considerably”. For a specific welding
task and a weld seam opening angle of 30 degrees we
have been able to reduce the target time by around 20
percent. This includes a saving of around 75 percent in
grinding work, the reduced amount of energy required
and lower costs for filler metals. In total the overall
savings were over 40 percent! Close contact as well as
expert support have ensured rapid success. We have
already identified the next application for forceArc and
other EWM systems.”

“Reliability around the clock”
“As a ‘factory within the factory’ we have to keep an eye
on production costs; high unit volumes are required. 27
robot systems working in 3-shift operation weld up to
250 cabs a day for agricultural and forestry machinery.
Each cab has over 300 weld seams, all of which must be
perfect. The reliability of the welding power sources is
an important productivity factor here: We are able to
rely on the PHOENIX from EWM around the clock, and
the service provided by our EWM partner is unparalleled. We are completely satisfied on all counts. For two
years now we also have been using the process innovation EWM forceArc® at a critical point in the production
sequence. The targeted arc has enabled us to reduce
lead times considerably.”

Powerhouses from Wilhelmshaven – forceArc®
revolutionises welding in the crane construction sector
The Manitowoc Cranes factory in Wilhelmshaven produces mobile and telescopic hydraulic cranes with capacities
ranging from 80 to 450 tons (Fig.1). As everywhere in steel
construction, welding technology is the key production
factor. After having experienced the innovative forceArc®
welding process for one year, the welding engineer and
production manager Dipl.-Ing. Michael Hüneke speaks of
possibilities that had been considered impossible in welding so far: “We are now able to weld full penetration welds
with a defined fillet weld on the seam root – without
weld pool backing and chamfering. I am convinced that
forceArc® will be our future course for further joining applications”.

Safety first: premium quality makes a world leader
“Our intention with forceArc® was to make the MAG joining process even more reliable; we achieved a great leap in
quality at the same time. By using it systematically in the
root area and for intermediate layers, we save time, lots of
time. In the past, the seam root had to be removed by air arc
gouging before the backing run could be welded. Looking
at the welding process alone, the procedure reduces nonproductive time considerably – cleaning and gouging work
is minimised, the welder keeps in time, the entire production
chain keeps flowing.”
“Fillet welds classified as group B according to ISO 5817 are
now produced with a defined hollow fillet and corresponding overlap – and at 3 millimetres, the throat thickness also
complies with the value required by the standard. We are
aware of what this means for the future of welding technology.” It is now possible to weld certain seams from one side
only; the backing run is created “automatically” – no joining
– no welding.

IBG Automation GmbH, located in Neuenrade
(Sauerland, Germany) constructs complex and
highly individual automation systems for nearly
every industrial branch. In 2007, the one-of-a-kind
automated welding and assembly line for diesel soot
particle filters made of sintered metal went into
operation at the Menden factory of the vehicle parts
manufacturer HJS Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH & Co. KG.
IBG and HJS worked handinhand in its development and
design.
An investment of millions of euro brought the 30-meter
long production line, in which eight welding robots
carry out their duties, into being; each of the robots is
equipped with an inverter microplasma system and cold
wire feed from EWM.
Since then, a filter – „packed“ in its housing – leaves
the assembly line every two and a half minutes. With
the help of 24/7 operation, this means that more than
200,000 filters can be manufactured every year. This is
enough to meet the demands of the rapidly growing
