Dual Wire 2.0 Weld Package

With the Weld Package Dual Wire 2.0™,
materials thicker than 1,5 mm can be
joined fast and easy.

With two separate cooling circuits to

increase the operational time of the welder
and achieve a better cooling effect with this
separation.

Weld Process Controller

Innovative control concept

with touch screen
With the Q84r and Q84s up to
four Weld Packages can be
controlled centrally.

The Q84r/s is available in two types: 10“ TFT (Q84r) und 7“ TFT (Q84s)
For single weld machine the Q80 with 7“ touch screen is available.

LSQ Power Sources (1) LSQ Power Sources ensure the optimum
arc energy for the process.

LSQ interconnect bus for doubling power

(2 Power Sources can be connected)

Direct Control Technology DCT is switching

the transistors without any fixed clock
frequency.

Up to ten times faster switching compared

to standard inverter technology.

2 x LSQ5: 840 A - 60% duty cycle

Power Feeder (1) SKS weld systems are designed for less
weight

The use of lightweight materials and a

technical sophisticated design enables
small and lightweight products, with
maximum reliability.

Our systems are thus designed specifically

for the latest generation of robots. They
Power Feeder 5 series
support the high acceleration and reliability.

Power Feeder: 3.8 kg.

Dual Wire 2.0 Round Nozzle

This torch system is realized Parallel Wires
with standard SKS components
and is welding with a single
potential:

High material deposition rate,

high welding speed,
good accessibility,
easy cleaning

Additionally two separated

cooling circuits for a longer
lifetime of consumables.

• Constant wire distance • Wire is dependend on wire stickout

• Independent of wire stickout
• Improved accessibility due to smaller
dimensions
• Parallelism of wire allows welding in
different positions (punch, drag)
• Easier to program
• Standard SKS components – no special
equipment necessary
• Standard reamer for gas nozzle
• Different angle between wires and work-
piece according to welding position
(punch, drag)
• Poor accessibility of work piece
• Torch is susceptible to disturbance
(short circuit between contact tips
caused by welding spatters)
• Increased time for programming
• Special reamer for gas nozzle (slower)

Reduced investment: Additional investment:

• Equipment • Equipment
• Space needed • Space needed
• Adjustments • Adjustments
• Maintenance • Maintenance
