EWR 2 / EWR 2 Net Gas Monitoring System
Up to 60% Gas Savings with IoT Compatibility
The EWR 2 systems use a patented function with fast-acting solenoid valves to regulate the gas flow in real-time and in synchronization with the welding current. External factors such as changes in ambient temperatures or counterpressures from the connected cable assembly are safely compensated to guarantee gas savings and control gas flow more precisely than other gas control systems.
A dynamic first of it's kind software package also allows the EWR 2 Net to interface into a company's existing Local Area Network (LAN) to collect and monitor gas use while making adjustments in real time, or hardwire into the device with a jack. All EWRs are equipped with an integrated LED display that allows for an easy overview of the current status and the system parameters. Settings can be done directly with the arrow buttons.
EWR 2 Features and Benefits:
- Reduction of gas consumption and operating costs
- Environmentally friendly; CO2 emissions reduced
- Active closed gas control loop via permanent measurement of gas flow
- Easy handling and monitoring with data recording possible
EWR 2 / EWR Net Features at a Glance:
Gas Control and Monitoring
The unique Service Monitoring Software with EWR 2 lets you control the hardware from your laptop - even remotely with the Net version. Monitor gas use, track ROI, and make adjustments on the fly to optimize gas delivery.
Data Acquisition to Evaluate in Real Time
Within the EWR 2 Service Software, you can get easy to read and export graph readings of your Gas Use against your Parameters. Measure gas use with a part, a run, or a whole shift to see where gaps may lie to maximize savings.
Ready for Manual & Automated in MIG/TIG
EWR 2 can be used in Robotic, Manual, or Hard Automation welding applications in either MIG or TIG processes. Simply use the correct shunt against your welding parameters to allow EWR 2 to deliver the right amount of gas.

EWR 2 Net
1. Ethernet interface
2. CAN open interface
EWR 2 Net has two additional interfaces and can be flexibly interconnected.
CAN open interface: The system can be connected by an additional gateway with any fieldbus systems and exchange data in real time.
Ethernet interface: Enables the EWR Net to be integrated into local networks in order to be able to access the appliance through these networks with the ABICOR BINZEL service software.
