Active Wire Process (AWP)

Active wire is an advanced short arc welding
process combining the robot motion path,
welder waveform and servo wire feed control
simultaneously reversing the wire at the short
circuit to control the weld deposition precisely.
Spatter control. Spatter is virtually eliminated in all phases of the weld using mixed argon
90/10 or 100 percent CO2 gas.
Fast and clean arc striking. At the moment the wire touches the base the wire is reversed,
reducing arc strike spatter by up to 90 percent.
Flexibility. Large variations in torch angle are possible, allowing push-pull in and out of corners
without increasing spatter.
Appearance. The precise nature of the process allows many customers an alternative to TIG welding.
Wide range of materials. Mild steels, stainless steels and aluminum from thin to medium gauge
benefit from AWP.

Thick Plate Welding
Fast and easy programming even on the most complex multi-pass weldments. All required
commands and sensor setup in a single menu screen. Welding procedures can be developed
quickly and transported easily from part to part.
Graphical, menu-driven interface. Pop-up graphical windows allow for fast programming of any
welding joint in a single location.
Multi-layer path control. Easy-to-use interface to sequence the location of starts/stops and
create multi-layer weld paths with appropriate offsets.
Advanced sensors. High-voltage touch sensing with menu-driven touch macros, a specialized
high-amperage arc sensor system, and adaptive fill capability allow the weld process to adapt to
incoming/varying production parts.

DeskTop Programming and Simulation (DTPS)

Software allows the development of programs offline, minimizing
robot downtime and maximizing throughput and productivity.
Specialized software generates programs and simulates the actual
taught paths from your desktop.
Native language programming. Same language and functions that the
technician will see on the teaching pendent, making program generation
off-line easier than competitive code-based systems.
Simplified file transfer. Transfer robot programs between robot types,
sizes and controller generations.
