Assumed Customer Challenges
Spatter reduction
The MTS-CO2 welding method, which is the basic function of TAWERS, has significantly evolved, demonstrating its spatter reduction effects in the high-current range.
Ease of use
The teach pendant equipped with a touch panel has enabled more intuitive and easier operation. Welding Navigation also allows easy condition setting.
Welding defects
These models enable the analysis of welding results in a more detailed manner than conventional models. Users can expect enhanced welding quality through the in-depth analysis of welding results.
Features and Effects
The further evolution of the performance of the MTS-CO2 welding method contributes to reduced spatter
Significantly improved weldability in the high current range of 200 A or higher
Reduces spatter by approximately 30% and 60% in the 200 A range and 260 A range, respectively, compared to WG3
No need to purchase optional products since these improvements can be achieved through the basic function of TAWERS
Improved weldability is highly effective for the visualization and reduction of welding defects
Welding control optimization according to robot posture reduces cycle time
The basic performance has been enhanced through improved CPU performance and memory capacity
The maximum speed of each axis has been improved by up to 27% (compared to the G3 controller)
The new teach pendant equipped with a touch panel has further improved ease of use
A touch panel has been installed for the operation display without changing the basic operation
The panel can be operated by users wearing gloves
The display features a tidy design with integrated functional buttons
The characters on the display can be enlarged, reducing the risk of pressing the wrong keys and significantly improving visibility
Easy to set up at factories outside Japan without the need for a step-down transformer
There is no need for an external step-down transformer, which can achieve reduced costs and a more compact footprint
Failure risks can be reduced with fewer connected devices and cables
* When setting up these robot systems in Japan, an input power supply is required according to the specifications of each model.
Please note that if you cannot prepare the required power supply, then a separate transformer is required to convert the input voltage to 200 V.
Enhanced compatibility with peripheral devices by conforming to the OPC UA global standard for industrial interoperability (WG4 / WGH4 / G4)
OPC UA-compliant devices possess connection compatibility, thereby enabling secure and seamless data exchange between them
* OPC UA-compliance is an optional function. In order to ensure data exchange between devices, all of them must be OPC UA-compliant.
The software-based safety mechanism enables more flexible and safer work environments
Conventional hardware limit switches for manipulators have been replaced with software-based monitoring
Safety signals such as for emergency stop can be exchanged by using communication signals
Complex safety circuits, which were conventionally designed by combining PLCs, switches, and relays, can now be configured with software, thereby facilitating specification changes
