Performance, ArcLink and Fanuc Robotics

A CLOSER LOOK

PERFORMANCE

•Designed for robotic and hard automation for the automotive, transportation, fabrication, furniture, lawn and garden, and agri- cultural industries, among others.

•Digital communication between the power source and the wire feeder for demanding robotic applications.

•Braking system minimizes wire sticking in the puddle for smooth finishes.

ArcLink™ and FANUC Robotics

ArcLink is a digital communications protocol for sharing information between intelligent components in an arc welding system. Power Wave products and FANUC robotic systems interfaced with ArcLink™ provide the following benefits over Analog-Digital Interface:

•Common user interface on Teach Pendant eliminates the requirement for any user panel on the power source.

•Teach Pendant can display actual volts, wire feed speed, etc. in process specific units.

•No setup function is required. The Robot is an ArcLink device and recognizes which power source is connected.

•Process procedures reside in the power source database and can be searched by process and material type directly on the Teach Pendant.

•High speed CAN 2.0B interface provides robust industrial network with collision detection and active/general connection states.

•Switch among eight modes (CV, Pulse, Pulse-On-Pulse, etc.) dynamically on the fly based on weld requirements.

•Arc start response time of 5/10 msec or less.

•FANUC’s FAStart provides 300 msec arc start improvement over other systems, 100 msec arc end improvement resulting in time savings of 400 msec per weld.
