TAWERS Arc Welding and Industrial Robots
-
The Panasonic-invented all-in-one welding robot system on the market TAWERS stands for ‘The Arc Welding Robot System’. The idea behind TAWERS is based on the “fusion technology”, whereby the robot controller is fused with the welding power source.
All control parameters such as data processing and programming sequences for the welding power source, the wire feed and the robot are combined on a 64-bit CPU PCB. This technology enables up to 250 times faster communication, eliminating virtually any delay in information flow between the individual components. The result is unique and allows many special functions to increase the quality and productivity of TAWERS, e.g. SP-MAG, lift start and lift end, automatic wire distance control, welding data monitoring, collision detection etc.
TAWERS provides a seamless and efficient welding solution, adaptable to diverse industrial needs.

The “Weld Navigation” feature can be compared to a navigation system in the car. It guides the user in the parameter choice utilising a range of “on screen” information data pages ensuring the required welding target is realised.
To find the best welding parameter for the application you need only to select joint type and material thickness.
The remaining parameter will be automatically calculated by the configured synergy curve and welding speed.
Additionally it’s possible to influence the design of throat thickness or joint length to adjust the joint design to specialised requirements. “Weld Navigation”, will automatically re-calculate the new parameter instantly.New opportunities are now created allowing less experienced programmers with limited welding knowledge to seek and achieve perfect welding results within a short time. It will also allow the welding “expert” to reduce routine remedial work enabling them to concentrate their skill and know-how on product optimization.
