DanStar

The "DanStar" is a machine designed for the off shore pipeline industry. The "DanStar" is a single head orbital welding machine and can be used with F.C.A.W. and G.M.A.W. applications. The "DanStar" is easy to use, friendly and flexible design, which means short training time and familiarization. The "DanStar" is compact, lightweight, solid and robust. The "DanStar" has a high deposition rate and a low repair rate. The "DanStar" has the ability to weld all passes and processes with one system.

The "DanStar" comes with a user-friendly programming Unit Utilising RISC Multiprocessor Technology. Further features are:

Proprietary Real-time OS
User friendly Remote pendant Control
Position dependant Real-time parameter Control
Wire feed speed
Orbital travel speed
Arc voltage
