Panasonic Factory Solutions Company (PFSA) is recognized as a world leader in robotics
and arc welding technology. Our unique advantage as a manufacturer of both robots and arc
welding power supplies offers our engineers a perspective unrivaled in the industry.
A premiere example of this is our continually-evolving TAWERS robot family which combines i
ndustry-leading welding and robotic technology into a common platform utilizing Embedded Arc
Control (EAC) technology.
This industry-leading technology has been integrated into another solution to meet your needs;
our PerformArc line of pre-engineered systems are designed to utilize Panasonic servo positioners,
welders, robots and decades of industry experience to make your jump into automation the least of
your day to day worries.
Having a problem finding qualified welders? Panasonic pre-engineered robotic arc welding systems
are your solution.
Panasonic’s new process: HEAT (High-Efficiency Advanced Tip) was developed for quality-minded
manufacturers to control common welding issues associated with GMAW (aka MIG) welding.
Benefits include:
• Up to 40% higher deposition than conventional welding processes
• Less burn-through—ideal for thinner metals
• Improved gap handling without sacrificing travel speed
• Consistent tip-to-wire electrical contact for improved process control
HEAT squeezes process variation out of GMAW by making it more stable. It makes the process
window larger and more accommodating of part variations in joint position and gap. And that’s while raising productivity 30% or more, depending on the application. Overall, the HEAT process is more stable, more productive, and more tolerant of part variations than conventional GMAW welding.
TAWERS™ arc welding robots are the culmination of years of research combining the new line of high
performance TA series manipulators with the latest generation WG welders fused together using EAC™ technology. This next generation robotic welding solution is offered in a broad range of models to maximize your productivity through world-class advancements unique to the TAWERS platform.
TAWERS robots are optimized for speed—with larger motors and drives, increased acceleration and
a high rigidity FEA optimized design. Exceptionally high maximum robot speeds maximize your
performance by driving down cycle times.
These advances combined with innovative robot welder communication, industry-leading welding
technologies and effective software and hardware improvements create powerful new solutions for
your arc welding challenges.
• Bus communication—beyond digital, bus communication eliminates the protocols and timing
delays of digital, allowing new and exciting features to emerge that reduce cycle times, advance quality and improve flexibility of the welding process.
• Advanced sensitivity—servo control algorithms detect undue load on the robot during motion and
drop servo power to a soft state to protect the robot during collision situations.
• Ultra-low spatter—advanced arc physics analysis and control using a new welding process
SP-MAG can save over 100lbs of wire per arc versus conventional CV processes.
• Dustproof welder—in the TAWERS solution, the robot controller and welder exist in the same
dustproof cabinet assembly that does not exchange outside air with the welding environment, eliminating failures due to welding dust contamination. (WG only)
