Swagelok M200 orbital welding calibration unit

The Swagelok M200 portable calibration unit delivers on-site power supply maintenance, providing added convenience, reduced costs and improved efficiencies that can cut servicing time lines from days to minutes.

The calibration unit allows for immediate calibration of a Swagelok welding system M200 power supply. Many quality systems require orbital welding power supplies to be calibrated periodically. Traditional calibration processes are completed off site at a designated service location, leaving operations idling or needing to incur extra expense with rental equipment. Portable calibration helps minimise downtime, which is key for remote or secured environments, such as offshore oil drilling platforms, power plants and government sites that cannot easily arrange power supply transport to and from service centres.

The portable calibration unit is designed with enhanced technology focused on promoting efficiency through the welding process. On-screen navigation on the power supply prompts users to initiate the calibration process. The calibration unit then performs various diagnostics and measures output levels. The calibration unit is designed to specifically calibrate based on critical welding variables, including current (automatic calibration to ensure proper current output for future welds), voltage (provision of simple, on-screen adjustments to match actual values with expected values) and travel speed (electrode travel speed is verified and adjusted real time via the operating software, eliminating the need for frequent calibration).

The verification is displayed and documented as part of the calibration software, making documentation easier for users.
