Intuitive HMIs for maximum efficiency in manufacturing
HMI: Ease-of-use meets redundant operational reliability
The human-machine interface (HMI) is designed to provide the operator with exceptionally user-friendly and intuitive control. It combines a modern touchscreen with an additional switch panel, ensuring redundant operation – especially for critical functions such as axis movement, welding current control, and powder feed adjustment. This dual control capability increases operational reliability and flexibility. Furthermore, the system features a multi-level authorization concept controlled via personalized RFID keys. This ensures that only authorized personnel have access to specific functions, significantly improving operational safety and traceability.

User-friendliness and Process Preparation
The HMI is not only intuitive to use but also easy to learn – even for users with limited prior experience. The user interface is supported by a graphical representation that allows users to select predefined geometries and be guided step-by-step through the setup process. In addition, integrated teaching methods help users learn complex processes, such as setting up a welding process, quickly and efficiently. This visual support significantly reduces training time and enables operators to become productive in a very short time. The result is a significant increase in efficiency and process reliability.
Central Control and Adaptability
A key feature of Deloro Welding Software is its ability to control the entire machine configuration via a central interface. This means that all relevant parameters—from motion profiles and geometries to process data—can be managed in a single environment. Specific motion sequences and geometries can be flexibly added for individual welding tasks, allowing the software to be optimally adapted to diverse requirements. Furthermore, the welding documentation can be customized to a company’s internal standards and specifications. This not only facilitates quality assurance but also integration into existing production and documentation processes.
Parts of the HMI
Graphical user interface
All process configurations and information about the system, operator and welding process can be accessed and partially changed via touchscreen display.
Physical controls
The human-machine interface also features hardware buttons and knobs. The ergonomic and logical layout allows the user to fully concentrate on the welding process.
Remote Control
The optional remote control offers added convenience for employees during the process. Instead of standing directly at the control panel, certain operating operations can be conveniently performed using the remote control.
Remote Access via network
It is possible to control Deloro systems from remote workstations. The user no longer needs to be physically present, but can perform other tasks simultaneously while still monitoring system parameters, the status of the welding system, and the process progress.
Screen Layout
The graphical user interface is divided into three basic areas. These remain visible at all times, except for the start screen or the screensaver.
- Information Bar: Basic information such as program, RFID-authenticated user, recipe, and selected language is available. This section of the screen remains visible at all times.
- Process Area: In the HMI’s process area, specific settings can be made, and detailed information about the planned or ongoing welding process can be viewed.
- Function Bar: In this section, basic functional units of the PTA welding system can be operated directly. These include arc height control, powder feed rate, and—if installed—the selection of powder feeders.
Core of the Operating Concept
The core idea behind the operating concept of Deloro welding systems is to create an intuitive user interface using self-explanatory icons. Operators typically require little training time, as the symbols are quick and easy to understand, thanks in part to their generous size.
The screen shown here displays the selection of one of the machine’s four programs. Even without extensive welding knowledge, the operator can quickly make their selection for the upcoming welding job.
Menu Navigation
The efficiency of the operation is also evident in the user guidance within the menus. A PTA welding system, or rather the welding process itself, requires numerous settings and data for precise control in order to achieve a high-quality welding result. Operators are guided through a logically structured, multi-level menu. All essential information and controls are readily available in structured and logically grouped blocks, requiring minimal clicks: This allows the operator to focus effectively on the ongoing welding process.
Additional menus, accessible via the arrows on the right-hand side, allow for setting further machine parameters and monitoring data.
Pre-configured Profiles
Deloro’s PTA welding systems offer a wide variety of motion and geometry profiles directly from the factory. These profiles only need to be fully configured and, if necessary, teached. Cumbersome programming in cryptic programming environments is therefore a thing of the past and is no longer necessary for smooth and efficient production operation.
