  1. VirtualArc 1.0Software ProductPresentation

  2. What is VirtualArc® ? = VirtualArc® Process Know-How Based SW Tool to Help ABB Customers to Easily Set-Up & Install Robotic Arc Welding in Production with Highly Improved Quality and Productivity

  3. ARC MODELING WELD PROFILE MODELING Short description of VirtualArc® Virtual Arc is a tool that combines: • Arc physics • 2D wire-arc-work piece simulation tool • Experimental measurement and practical experience • Bayesian neural network (self learning program)

  4. Anode Wire R Arc Power source Work Piece L Robotic Arc Welding Process • System Parameters • Cable Resistance • Inductance • Power Source • Full Control of the complete system

  5. What can you do with VirtualArc® ? • Off-line tuning of MIG/MAG welding parameters • Off-line prediction of weld shape & penetration • Off-line prediction of geometric weld quality • Off-line prediction of geometric welding defects

  17. VirtualArc Economy - VirtualArc® Software Tool

  18. After using VirtualArc: Process mode: Rapidarc Welding Speed: 30 mm/sec Before using VirtualArc: Process mode: Shortarc Welding Speed: 13 mm/sec VirtualArc Economy - VirtualArc® Software Tool VirtualArc Software Pay-back

  19. In the same robot station Rapidarc Shortarc Cost reduction: 1.57 EUR/m – 0.97 EUR/m = EUR 0.6/m VirtualArc Economy - VirtualArc® Software Tool VirtualArc Software Pay-back

  20. Productivity improvement: 54.0 m/h – 32.8 m/h = 21,2 m/h Rapidarc / Shortarc Calculation example, at 85 % Utilisation in one AW Robot cell: 3500 h/year x 0.85 x 54.0 m/h = = 160,650 m/year VirtualArc Economy - VirtualArc® Software Tool VirtualArc Software Pay-back

  21. Savings: Possible production: 160,650 m/year EUR 0.6 /m Return On Investment: EUR 0.6 /m x 160,650 m/year = = 96,390 EUR / Year per robot station !! Also giving: 3500 h/year x 0.85 x 21.2 m/h = = 63,070 m/year extra production !! VirtualArc Economy - VirtualArc® Software Tool VirtualArc Software Pay-back

  22. VirtualArc Documentation - VirtualArc® Software Tool

  23. VirtualArc Documentation - VirtualArc® Software Tool Documentation: Welding Process Specification

  24. Benefits with VirtualArc® giving you cost savings • Daily process support in your factory • Shorter process implementation time • Optimised welding productivity • Optimised welding quality • Improved welding procedure documentation

  25. From VirtualArc® Customer evaluation • “The major strength of this program is the easiness of performing and fine-tuning welding tests off-line. This means that testing time in the production is reduced to a very low level.” • “The first year of investment the program has paid itself back.” • “Another noteworthy aspect is the easy use. Very quickly, you get familiar with the program.” • “The result from the virtual test is very precise and for the most applications it can be used directly.” Kim Hurup IWE, Invacare EC-Høng, Denmark
