SIMPLY WELDING. INTEGRATED ROBOT WELDING SYSTEM

COMPANY PROFILE Since 1957, a total of 60 years, Panasonic has been developing innovative products and processes for welding technology. Areas of application are laser welding, Metal Inert Gas welding (MIG), Metal Active Gas welding (MAG) and Tungsten Inert Gas welding (TIG) for robot as well as manual welding. Panasonic Robot & Welding Systems Europe, headquartered in Neuss, Germany, is the European sales and engineering center for all welding products. The state-of-the-art competence and training center has a welding test area for all actual robot welding systems. Panasonic is also represented...

THE ROBOT WELDING TECHNOLOGY ROBOT SYSTEM Fusion of robots, robot controller, power source and servo wire feed together in one unit. Faster, better and worldwide unique. Everything from one manufacturer. The idea behind TAWERS is based on the “fusion technology” contained in TAWERS, whereby the robot controller is fused with the welding power source controller. All control parameters such as data processing and programming sequences for the welding power source, the wire feed and the robot are combined on a 64-bit CPU PCB. This technology enables up to 250 times faster communication, eliminating...

TAWERS - SIMPLY EXPLAINED ETHERNET MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY OF WELDING PROCESSES REDUCTION OF PRODUCTION COSTS HIGH PROCESSING SPEED OPTIMUM ACCESSIBILITY THANKS TO THE SLIM CONSTRUCTION Fusion of robots, robot controller, power source and servo wire feed to a complete system. Faster, better and worldwide unique. Everything from one manufacturer.

YOUR ADVANTAGES USER-FRIENDLY HANDLING WELD DATA MONITORING AND RECORDING EASY CREATION OF WELDING PARAMETERS THROUGH WELD NAVIGATOR TAWERS 100 KHZ INVERTER TECHNOLOGY SPATTER REDUCED WELDING HEAT INPUT REDUCED WELDING THIN AND THICK PLATE WELDING WITH ONE POWER SOURCE TAWERS – The Arc Welding Robot System

STANDARD FUNCTIONS LIFT-START/LIFT-END At the start and end of the welding process, the robot quickly lifts the welding torch. By coordinating the robot movement with the specified welding parameters and the wire feed control, quality and cycle time are improved. Spatter reduction during arc ignition Cycle time reduction Lift Reduced cycle time at the end of the welding process REPEAT FUNCTION FOR ARC IGNITION If an error is detected when the arc is ignited, the robot automatically starts a new ignition attempt. INCREMENTAL MOVEMENT This function allows the robot to move a set distance by clicking...
