4.1 ArcWare 3.2
ArcWare comprises a large number of dedicated arc welding functions, which make the
robot well suited for arc welding. It is a simple yet powerful program since both the
positioning of the robot and the process control and monitoring are handled in one and
the same instruction.
I/O signals, timing sequences and weld error actions can be easily configured to meet
the requirements of a specific installation.
ArcWare functions
A few examples of some useful functions are given below.
Adaptation to different equipment
The robot can handle different types of weld controllers and other welding equipment.
Normally communication with the welding controller uses parallel signals but a serial
interface is also available.
Advanced process control
Voltage, wire feed rate, and other process data can be controlled individually for each
weld or part of a weld. The process data can be changed at the start and finish of a
welding process in such a way that the best process result is achieved.
Testing the program
When testing a program, welding, weaving or weld guiding can all be blocked. This
provides a way of testing the robot program without having the welding equipment
connected.
Automatic weld retry
A function that can be configured to order one or more automatic weld retries after a
process fault.
Weaving
The robot can implement a number of different weaving patterns up to 10 Hz
depending on robot type. These can be used to fill the weld properly and in the best
possible way. Weaving movement can also be ordered at the start of the weld in order
to facilitate the initial striking of the arc.
