What we offer

Production Manager

Production manager monitors and controls the production cycle, is application independent and can also be used in non-welding applications. Production Manager takes care of:

  • Describe your parts to produce
  • Run Setup and Service routines at certain intervals
  • Map our physical cell layout to logical work areas
  • Organize program flow in a standardized chain of events, maintaining dynamic execution
  • Synchronize certain jobs if MultiMove
  • Initiate the production via PLC or an Operator

RobotStudio ArcWelding PowerPac

ArcWelding PowerPac (AWPP) is an add-on to RobotStudio, which is a unique, geometry based off-line programming tool for generating arc welding programs.

The programmer defines weld locations on the CAD geometries and the system automatically creates robot positions in relation to that geometry including approach and departure positions.

In other words, it has never been easier to program arc welding robots.

RobotWare Arc 

It is a simple yet powerful program since both the positioning of the robot and the process control and monitoring are handled in one instruction. I/O signals, timing sequences and weld error actions can be easily configured to meet the requirements of a specific installation.

Key features:

  • Adaptation to different equipment
  • Advanced process control & supervision
  • Automatic re-strike after weld error
  • Weaving
  • Wire burn back and rollback
  • Fine adjustment during program execution
  • Seam finding & tracking

VirtualArc®

VirtualArc® is a unique process software tool for MIG/MAG simulation that offers a user-friendly graphical interface, for predicting and tuning welding parameters in an off-line environment.

Key features:

  • Documentation and planning of welding process
  • Minimizing start-up time
  • Off-line tuning of MIG/MAG welding parameters
  • Off-line prediction of weld shape & penetration /  weld quality /  welding defects
  • Financial studies of the cost of the predicted weld in EUR/meter
  • Optimizing welding productivity and welding quality of your process
