The control system is a fully digital controlled system. This means there are only digital signal processors (DSP) involved in the entire control system and not any analogue electronic component. All the components of the control system (such as control cabinet, welding power source, each axis and the teach pendant) are linked by a digital bus system.
A full digital robot control system brings the following advantages:
No influence by any environmental disturbance like inductive fields of welding cables
Quickest response time by fastest bus connection > smooth motion of robot
Absolute reproducibility of welding result > highest consistency in welding quality
Easy diagnosis possibilities of the entire robot control system > less skills and no special instruments for diagnosis are necessary
By using modular drive technology and standard PC components a high reliability is guaranteed and the ability to remain constantly at the cutting edge of technology.
Due to the used standard PC components, diagnosis and exchange of components are easy possible also by the customer's engineers.
The complete control system for up to 8 robot axes and all external NC axes is included in a compact control cabinet connected to the robot, the teach pendant, the operating cassette, the external axes, and the power source by cables, pluggable on both sides.
