Equipped to meet the highest quality standards

Our dual student, Moritz Beib, reports on completing the academic part of his Bachelor of Engineering in electrical engineering: “After finishing the practical part of my dual study in spring 2018, I then finished my bachelor thesis to complete the academic part in autumn later that year. Over the three-month period I got the chance to work on a practical and interesting assignment in EWM’s development department. With the amazing support of the EWM development department, I was able to improve the wire feed speed regulation for MIG/MAG welding using an optimised control process. As a result, wire feeders are now better equipped to handle more and more complex welding processes and the increasing quality standards in the future. The control algorithms required to achieve this were implemented on a modern, high-performance microcontroller. Using modern and efficient components in motor actuation, a suitable control process and the subsequent power loss reduction, I was also able to reduce the size of the new circuit boards in comparison to previous circuit boards. Even more exciting work at EWM awaits with my upcoming master thesis.”
