Top Power Sources for Robotic Welders Offered at Robots.com

Weld­ing automa­tion is the most pop­u­lar robot appli­ca­tion at Robots​.com. Count­less cus­tomers have expe­ri­enced the increase in speed, qual­i­ty, and reduc­tion in errors after pur­chas­ing a robot­ic welder. At Robots​.com, we are proud to offer a wide selec­tion of robot­ic welders and nec­es­sary sup­plies to pro­duce opti­mal results for your automa­tion needs. 

When choos­ing a robot­ic sys­tem, pow­er sources are indis­pens­able and should be a pri­ma­ry focus when shop­ping. Hav­ing the per­fect pow­er source is key for a seam­less inte­gra­tion of a weld­ing robot. In order to help you make the best deci­sion in the pur­chase of your pow­er source, you can first read about the pop­u­lar pow­er sources sold at Robots​.com and their parameters.

Lin­coln Electric

The Pow­er­Wave tech­nol­o­gy by Lin­coln Elec­tric guar­an­tees qual­i­ty and enhances part-to-part con­sis­ten­cy with con­trol of the user inter­face. This inter­face is designed to present nec­es­sary infor­ma­tion to the oper­a­tor via a dash­board, in order to elim­i­nate guess work and allow sys­tem con­trols to pro­vide man­age­ment; all the while being a less com­plex sys­tem set-up for expe­ri­enced and new operators.

Lin­coln Elec­tric Pow­er­Wave R350 (paired with Fanuc): Rec­om­mend­ed for process­es such as Stick, DC TIG, Pulsed DC TIG, MIG, Pulsed MIG, and Flux-Cored. The R350 has a built-in wire feed­er con­trol and an incred­i­bly fast arc response, both which make it espe­cial­ly per­fect for use in robot­ic weld­ing appli­ca­tions. It includes over 65 stan­dard weld­ing wave­forms and can be used for GMAW at a rat­ed out­put of 350A/31.5V/40%.

The R350 also con­verts input pow­er to reduce oper­a­tional costs and has easy eth­er­net acces­si­bil­i­ty to allow sim­ple soft­ware upgrades. It can also track equip­ment usage, store weld data, and con­fig­ure fault lim­its to aid in pro­duc­tion analy­sis and process improvements. 

Lin­coln Elec­tric Pow­er­Wave 455M (paired with Fanuc) The 455M is your solu­tion for weld­ing thick­er mate­ri­als for Stick, TIG, MIG, Pulsed, STT(1) Flux-Cored, and Goug­ing appli­ca­tions. It has an out­put range of 5 – 570amps and offers over 60 stan­dard weld­ing wave­form pro­grams and a broad range of elec­trode sizes, types and shield­ing gas com­bi­na­tions to give you opti­mal appear­ance, pen­e­tra­tion, bead­shape, and trav­el speed for each application.

Lin­coln Elec­tric Pow­er­Wave i400 (paired with Fanuc) is opti­mal for MIG, Pulsed-MIG, Flux-Cored, Met­al-Cored, and TIG (Lift Start Only). The i400 is rat­ed the best in class for pow­er as it deliv­ers an out­put of 5 – 420 for a wide range of process­es and mate­ri­als, with no der­at­ing for pulse waveforms.

It is keep­ing up with the tech­no­log­i­cal advances that are hap­pen­ing in the automa­tion world as it can com­mu­ni­cate via tra­di­tion­al ArcLink over a CAN-based net­work or via ArcLink XT over an indus­tri­al Eth­er­net con­nec­tion. This Check­Point and Pro­duc­tion Mon­i­tor­ing 2.2 allows you to use your serv­er or our cloud-based serv­er to view and ana­lyze your weld­ing data on almost any device. 

Miller Auto-Axcess

The Miller Auto-Axcess plat­form brings the ben­e­fits of dig­i­tal con­trol tech­nol­o­gy to man­u­fac­tur­ers who cur­rent­ly use ana­log robot con­trol. All sys­tems list­ed below have Insight Core, which is a flex­i­ble, inter­net-based man­age­ment solu­tion. Insight Core helps to mon­i­tor the weld­ing process out­puts to com­pare per­for­mances of weld oper­a­tors, work groups, devices, or shifts. It will deliv­er the infor­ma­tion to any web-enabled device, any­where on the globe.

The fol­low­ing Miller Auto Axcess welders can per­form the fol­low­ing: Process- Mul­ti-MIG weld­ing (Accu-Pulse MIG, Pulsed MIG, MIG, Met­al-cored, GMAW); Man­u­fac­tur­ing process­es: Con­struc­tion equip­ment, auto­mo­tive com­po­nents, recre­ation­al vehi­cles, farm machin­ery, office fur­ni­ture, and min­ing machinery.

It can weld sheets of 0.3mm or thick­er with base met­als such as alu­minum, CrNi, Spe­cial met­als, and steel.

Fro­nius TransPuls 4000 CMT (paired with Motoman, Fanuc, ABB) – The 4000 CMT is the pow­er source for short cir­cuit, spray and pulsed arcs with an out­put of 400A. It is suit­able for MIG/MAG, TIG, and elec­trode weld­ing. The 4000 is used for indus­tries such as auto­mo­tive, com­po­nent sup­ply indus­try, chem­i­cal plant con­struc­tion, machine and tracked vehi­cle man­u­fac­tur­ing, and shipyards.
