Power Source for Automated Welding

Fronius is launching the new TPS/i Robotics power source, which is specially designed to meet the demands of robot-assisted welding. Thanks to its interconnected and fully synchronised system components, it enables robotic welding to be performed faster and with a higher degree of reproducibility. A new level of quality can be achieved and maintained as a result of the ingenious yet easy-to-use functions of the TPS/i Robotics. A crucial role is played by the modified dip transfer arc (LSC - Low Spatter Control) and the modified pulsed arc (PMC - Pulse Multi Control), which give the welder a significantly higher level of control over the arc. The user is also supported by brand new stabilisers: while the penetration stabilizer ensures that the penetration remains constant - even if stick out fluctuations occur - by adjusting the highly dynamic wirefeeder, the arc length stabiliser keeps the arc at an optimum length when the arc geometry (e.g. due to a change in the weld seam profile) or weld pool temperature changes. As a result TPS/i Robotics not only makes the welding process considerably quicker than ever before, but also enhances the weld seam quality. One of the visible improvements is the minimal amount of spatter produced. Fronius is also forging new paths in the area of communication between the welding system and robot control. Like all other process control components, the TPS/i system's new robot interfaces are incorporated into the system bus architecture and are therefore able to provide data relevant to the robot control in real time.
