These advances offer remarkable new high performance Pulse and CV (SP-MAG) welding solutions. Automatic Stickout Correction · Robot Lift Arc Starting · Robot Lift Arc Ending · Arc Data Monitor Automatic Stickout Correction This valuable optional software feature increases welding process control by allowing the robot to correct for stickout variation due to errors in robot path programming. The robot corrects to a pre-programmed electrical stickout defined by the technician on either a per weld or global basis. This correction eliminates a variable from the welding process providing more consistent penetration while reducing the chances for burn through. Robot Lift Arc Starting As the robot senses current detection it retracts to create the welding arc using voltage instead of current-dramatically limiting ignition spatter common to CV and Pulse welding processes. The extremely fast reaction also significantly increases first strike arc start efficiency. Robot Lift Arc Ending The TAWERS robot virtually eliminates wire stick detection time and wire burn back time by automatically lifting the wire out of the puddle during the weld crater process and proceeding to the next weld in one motion. The lift motion, not only significantly reduces the total arc ending time and programming time but as a secondary benefit sharpens the welding wire simultaneously, thus maximizing the starting success of the next weld. Arc Data Monitor A high resolution arc data monitoring system whose effectiveness is enhanced by virtue of the superb stability of the wire feed and arc control is designed into every TAWERS robotic arc welding solution. As part of the standard package, the system can monitor specific control limits set for a variety of macro and micro welding parameters and signal when the welding process is not within the preset limits. Two optional software packages exist to take monitoring to the next level. The first package offers the ability to perform data logging of actual and preset welding parameters while correlating these values to the points within the welding program. This log is then stored for later analysis and or export. The second package offers the user an oscilloscope function, resident on the robot teach pendant, with the ability to display high sampling rate data in a high resolution format for detailed waveform analysis by a welding engineer or lower resolution for production quality control. There is no longer a need to drag sensors and computers out to the welding shop floor - with TAWERS the high resolution arc data monitoring hardware is standard. Take your welding process control and analysis to the next level with TAWERS, the arc welding robotic solution.  MORE IMAGES  · Teach Pendant
