The new Lorch S-XT MIG-MAG PULSE WELDING WITH AN EXTRA TOUCH OF FINESSE Welding solutions for the world s smartest companies
Lorch Rubrik S-XT S IS WHAT YOU WANT. That much is certain: If your weld seams need to satisfy the most demanding requirements, you will find that opting for MIG-MAG pulse welding is the only choice. Moreover, those of us who wish to remain in full control of the welding arc will hardly find systems that deliver better results than Lorch s new S-series machines with their highly advanced XT welding processes. XT stands for extra speed, extra low spatter and extra smooth handling. In other words, XT delivers everything you need to be extra successful. With superior expertise that is rooted in long years of our industrial experience, the engineers working at Lorch were able to tailor the S-XT exactly to the requirements of a wide range of different users. The result of our efforts process is a machine that is so smart that your team of welders will never want to put it down. The ground-breaking welding characteristics this machine has to offer represents a quantum leap that was made possible by the new one-of-a-kind XT welding processes. Extra smart, just as you would expect from Lorch. Discover the new S-series with XT processes and experience for yourself why it opens a new chapter in pulse welding history. Lorch will be happy to provide you with a demo system that lets you test the S-XT under your production conditions.

XT YOUR PERSONAL EXTRA FROM AUENWALD. SpeedPulse XT turns you into the undisputed Master of the Arc. This is made possible by the patented control technology of Lorch s new S-series. It marries the powerful new XT technology with all of the unique benefits already included in our existing SpeedPulse welding machines. Another innovation from Auenwald to put it more simply: Made in Germany! WHY IMPROVE SOMETHING THAT IS ALREADY GREAT? BECAUSE WE CAN! The SpeedPulse principle pioneered by Lorch has already inspired thousands of companies around the world. But, Lorch would not be Lorch if we stopped challenging to make your life as a welder more efficient, more accurate and just a little easier. You as the welder or the robot you use to accomplish a certain welding task will no longer have to work up a sweat during pulse welding as handling the weld pool now more accurate and faster thanks to our new S-XT machines. New from the ground up, our patented control technology generates a pulse arc that is exceptionally stable and capable of thinking ahead rather than merely following you. Better still, the new S-XT control responds with unprecedented speed and accuracy at every phase of the pulse. These exceptional properties provide you with a level of arc control that will bring tears of joy to your eyes. Would you like to know all the ins and outs of our SpeedPulse XT?

LOOKS GREAT, 40 40 FEELS EVEN BETTER. Another centrepiece of the S-series is TwinPuls XT. This process allows you to separately and individually control a heating and a cooling phase. What does that mean to you? You benefit from a much lower and more controlled heat input into the workpiece. The end result are workpieces that show much less distortion and require much less expensive rework, significantly reducing your stress level as well. Even when faced with difficult positions, professional welders will be able to stay perfectly relaxed and produce stunning results that even stand up to TIG seams all thanks to TwinPuls XT. A CLEAN AFFAIR EVEN AT 40. SpeedArc XT sets itself apart by its highly focused and stable arc combined with an energy density that stands above comparable processes. An opening angle of 40 is entirely sufficient to place a proper seam. The higher generated arc pressure into the weld pool and the deeper penetration that SpeedArc XT delivers add a significant speed boost to MIG-MAG across the entire power range and make it much easier to control. This helps saving precious material. 6 7
THE RIGHT LENGTH MATTERS. Varying gap dimensions or unevenness in the workpiece. Part of the day-today challenge in industrial applications, these circumstances do not pose a problem to the smart arc length regulation that is built into every machine of the new S-series. This innovative feature provides the user with intuitive ease of use that is combined with a clearly improved control over the pulse arc. The arc autonomously adapts to the movements of the welder or the guidance of the automation solution. Integrated control technology reliably offsets inadvertent distance deviations. Intentional variations, on the other hand, are carried out directly by the process, which is also variable enough to keep the welder in full control at all times. An ideal solution to keep work simple and relaxed even in difficult positions. S WILL SERVE YOU WELL FROM SOFT TO HARD. The ingenious dynamic control that comes standard for all new programs of the S-XT makes it possible for the user to fine-tune the arc characteristics until they perfectly match the workpiece and the welding task at hand. A turn of the control knob is all it takes to set the arc to soft or hard or anywhere in between. For an even better seam and an extremely good feel whilst welding. By the way: Even when wearing welder gloves you are able to smoothly adjust dynamic and arc length without having to interrupt your work a smart idea perfectly executed by Lorch. Variable arc length regulation: The welder can react much more easily to arising conditions by adjusting the distance of the torch. Dynamic control: allows the welder to set the arc to any width he requires or prefers. 8 9
ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS AND STARTS S ALWAYS WELL. KEEPS THE RHYTHM. Unfortunately, tack welds and other unfavourable conditions on the workpiece are daily routine of every welder and can pose a formidable problem when you are trying to attain a perfect seam. But you will not have to worry because our new S-series and SpeedPulse XT allow you to iron out these handicaps with perfect ease. The dynamic control built into the new S-series keeps the arc equally steady, stable and ensures a smooth welding process with minimal spatter. Exceptionally smart and useful: Allowing the user to choose specific arc settings for the starting, welding and end phases, the new S-series gives the welder a means to additionally influence the energy input. This feature helps reduce or even eliminate potential fusion defects in the weld seam. Following the completion of an extra fast welding operation, the system will reliably slope down the welding current during the end phase until the end crater filling looks perfect. For outstanding and uniform seam quality that will stand up to any inspection. Another welcome effect is that the new S-XT avoids changes in frequency, which typically occur while welding over tack welds and can be quite annoying a welcome relief for the welder s ears. 10 11
SIMPLY DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. The new S-series is available in three well-thought-out power variants. All other settings are fully customisable and can be tailored to your individual requirements and preferences: advanced add-on welding processes (Speed- Root, SpeedUp, SpeedCold), additional wire feed cases, increased cooling performance, a more powerful pump or the integration into automation and robot solutions. We make sure that every Lorch machine always adapts to your preference and the requirements of your value creation chain so that you will not have to change the way you operate. This is what we consider Smart Welding for Industry and Production. TRUE PROFESSIONALS NEVER DO WITHOUT IT. If you work without a new S-series machine, you are simply missing out. Namely a smart, highly efficient production machine that will also operate with superior productivity even when used as part of a fully automated system. Your S-XT system will grow with your challenges and your industrial requirements thanks to a bunch of available add-on components and upgrades. You configure the machine until it matches your current work flow perfectly and add functionality with perfect ease when your manufacturing processes change. What is more, Q-Data and Q-Sys combined with the job management feature built into the new S-series provide you with the tools you need to document, evaluate and analyse your welding data. So, as you can see: While others merely talk about Industry 4.0, we have already taken steps to implement it. 12 13
