NEXT GENERATION ROBOT & WELDING G4 CONTROLLER
The new G4 Robot Controller is designed to set new standards in Robot Welding for speed, quality, safety and connectivity. The G4 Controller is part of Panasonic Factory Solutions’ The Arc Welding Robot System (TAWERS), which delivers unique peace of mind to customers by bringing together the total solution of robot, controller, power source and servo wire feeder all from one manufacturer.
G4 Controller helps deliver a faster, more accurate and efficient robot welding service than ever before. There is an 18% increase in the average speed of movement on the robot’s main axes by fine tuning acceleration and deceleration control. Individual axis movements can be up to 27% faster than with the previous G3 controller. Motion accuracy has also been improved by up to 20%. The teach pendant has been enhanced with an intuitive, slimmed-down user interface and increased resolution on the glove-friendly touch panel display. It also includes a 3D high definition display for operators to visualise the movement of the robot and any potential safety issues ahead of operation. Fast and flexible connectivity in a manufacturing environment is enabled with the inclusion of the OPC UA open standard. This means the future addition of cameras or sensors for data collection or safety can easily be integrated into the system.
With uptime more important than ever, the G4 Controller has upgraded reliability and maintenance functions with data log enhancements and an increased error histories capability to improve quality tracking and improved data for preventative maintenance.
