1.4 TAWERS 350A 60% Duty Pulse, 80% CV
Ø TAWERS 350 Amp welding systems come standard with Embedded Arc Control (EAC) technology which eliminates the need for three separate control systems and fuses control of the robot, welder and servo wire feeder into a single physical unit.
Ø This new controls breakthrough is contained entirely internal to the robot controller and is monitored by the TAWERS 64-bit main CPU. EAC technology controls not only the robot motion path and sequence commands, but simultaneously synchronizes the welding power supply waveform control and servo wire feeder response accordingly, to adjust and correct for dynamic changes in the welding process.
Ø TAWERS with EAC technology goes far beyond conventional digital communication systems, delivering the first and only generation of fully software-controlled robotic welding solutions.
Ø SP-MAG is a new welding process developed out of industry needs for a more versatile CV welding process. Where conventional and even high-end CV processes have tried to produce low-spatter, high-speed welds, they have missed the mark ultimately demanding lower amperage levels or slower welding speeds to achieve their goals. TAWERS has successfully met these challenges by bringing together the major benefits of Pulse and CV into one process SP-MAG
Ø Ultra-low spatter levels
Ø Low heat input
Ø Low susceptibility to arc blow
Ø Wide process windows across entire amperage range
Ø Excellent thin material and gap handling capability
Ø Spatter is the enemy of every company, big or small. The TAWERS solution takes aim at not only the arc physics that generate spatter, but also other factors that
directly impacts spatter generation. SP-MAG combined with advances in welding arc starting and ending have led to an extreme decrease in the amount of spatter generated during the entire welding process. Extensive testing has shown that a switch from conventional CV to SP-MAG could result in a savings of 100 to 150 lbs less wire purchased per arc.
Ø Reduced or eliminated secondary cleanup operations saving manpower, floor space and limiting total work in process
Ø Using a 100 kHz primary side high frequency inverter, TAWERS offers an extremely fast response, providing exceptionally precise, almost real time, and control of the welding arc.
Ø 10-5 sec (10 micro second) control and correction cycle
Ø 5X faster response than conventional feedback control circuits
Ø Electronic reactor control makes special process inductance taps a thing of the past. Optimum current control during all phases of welding is now possible.
1.5 Step-Down Transformer
Ø The system comes pre-wired to a single disconnect box, with input power of 480 volts, 3 phase, 60 amps suggested service (single robot systems). Other input voltages can be accommodated at an additional cost.
1.6 Operator Control Center
Ø Robot handles all safety supervision through concurrent I/O
Ø PLC used to simplify wiring

o Typically needed when an operator needs to load parts in more than one load position
1.11 Task Lighting (Operator and Robot Station)
Ø Fluorescent lighting at the robot and operator station to provide lighting during load/unload, inspection and programming
1.12 Harmony Software
Ø This option allows the robot and the servo positioner to work together in harmony.
Ø Sometimes called – coordinated motion – the result is that the robot can turn the part in the positioner at the same time the robot is moving and welding, whether the part is on-center with the positioner or not.
Ø The robot will maintain a consistent speed and path relative to the turning part.
Ø If you need to rotate your part while the robot is welding, this option is strongly recommended.
