The most advanced welding data logging system available. The portable ALX II is a “go anywhere” battery powered unit capable of monitoring all types of arc welding in the workshop or remote location. Each of the high capacity rechargeable NiMH battery packs, power the ALX II for up to 3 hours of weld monitoring. 

Facilities to monitor all the main arc welding parameters makes the portable ALX II the most user friendly and versatile welding data logger and reporting system available today.

Using the standard software package, the unit will monitor voltage, current, wire feed speed, travel speed, gas flow and temperature, producing average figures for all parameters plus automatic heat input and energy calculations. 

Switch to the optional pulse mode and it  has the capacity to monitor complex welding waveforms with absolute accuracy producing high quality reports plus the analysis facility to measure peak and background values of voltage and current. 

The onboard printer produces a hard copy print right at the welding location which combined with the unit’s reporting software package, gives the welding engineer / QC engineer the facility to produce instant weld reports and specifications, right at the point of welding.

The ALX II can be used on all popular arc welding processes and is protected against damage from the high frequency / high voltage start systems used on many tig welding power sources. 

The ALX II and all the accessories are supplied in a single rugged protection case, which can be shipped all over the world  by road, sea or air transportation.

• Battery or mains powered.

• Up to 3 Hours from a single NiMH battery pack

• Non intrusive probes.

• Monitors voltage and current as standard.

• Options for wire feed, gas flow, travel speed and temperature measurement.

• Optional pulse monitoring and analysis software package.

• Complete WPS programmable from root to cap

• TIG H.F. protected

• “Intelligent” battery charger.

• Network connection and USB ports

Available as a two channel or four channel unit the ALXII Workstation is fast becoming the industry workhorse for the international oil and gas pipeline industry. The type of unit has all the facilities of the portable ALXII but x4, allowing one unit to monitor up to four welding heads from a single location. It is supplied with voltage and current measurement on all channels as standard allowing the customisation of the unit by adding whatever combination of options are required to each channel, producing the most versatile and cost effective welding data logging system available.

In a pipeline production situation the ALXII workstation leaves its rivals way behind. The unit is compact, easily moved by one man to allow fast set up and breakdown, thanks to the high quality none intrusive probe connections. Specific pipeline software allows a complete welding procedure from root to cap to be pre-programmed into the system so that a single Workstation can monitor the whole weld or units can be used to monitor preset weld passes in different stations. The units can be networked together so that a single master station can be created where all the welding data can be correlated into a single report.
The ALXII Workstation has the powerful pulse monitoring software option available, which can be fitted to some or all channels in a single unit. Monitoring and reporting of complex STT type welding pulses presents no problems to this model which has the speed and processing capacity to produce instant reports of each weld pass no matter how complex the waveform.

Special software packages are available which enable the full integration of several ALXII Workstations to produce units of 8 channels and above.

• Mains powered 90 – 220 v ac 50/60 Hz.
• Twin channel as standard with option to add a further 2 channels
• Network capability to connect further workstations (2 or 4 channel)
• Non intrusive probes.
• Monitors voltage and current as standard.
• Options for wire feed, gas flow, travel speed and temperature measurement.
• Optional pulse monitoring and analysis software package.
• Complete WPS programmable from root to cap
• TIG H.F. protected
• Network connection and USB ports
• Pipeline specific operation and software packages.
• Aux. Inputs configured to customer specification.

 ASME IX 2010 Code Update – ALX II Pulse Software Complies to the Latest Standard.  

Earlier this year the ASME IX Code was re-written and re-issued to take into account Monitoring Welding Procedures when using Pulsed or Waveform Controlled welding Processes. The new code, ASME IX 2010, now indicates that anyone using Pulsed or Waveform Controlled welding processes must now measure the Instantaneous Energy and use this figure divided by the weld length to calculate the Heat Input. The latest version of the ALX II Pulse Measurement Software now has the facility to measure and record the Instantaneous Energy in accordance with the new ASME IX 2010 Code. Please see the following link to a short promotional Youtube video regarding the ALX II and ASME IX 2010.
