Welder Setup is Automatically performed at power-up. Once the PowerWave 455-R has been selected. The characteristics of the PowerWave 455-R are automatically set in the robot. The system puts the Powerwave on-line in the DeviceNet menu. DeviceNet communication ensures that welding parameters set in the robot are accurate. All setups are done from the robot teach pendant.

Surface Tension TransferTM (STT )

WAVEFORM CONTROL TECHNOLOGYTM for the 21st CENTURY

 STT

BASICS

STT is a Unique GMAW Shorting Process Wire Feed Speed and Current are Controlled Independently

Reaction to Arc Physics

Unlike Conventional CV: Waveform Control Technology is used to Precisely Control Current

CV GMAW REVIEW
Conventional short arc attempts to maintain a constant voltage throughout the welding cycle.

STT WAVEFORM

STT WAVEFORM
Background Current: Controls bead shape and provides minimum heat to maintain a liquid ball (T7-T1)
Peak Current: Controls arc length and promotes good fusion (T5-T6) Tailout: Reduces puddle agitation, eliminates premature shorts, and smoothes bead (time between T6-T7)

MAJOR ADVANTAGES
Low Heat Input
Minimal Spatter Bead Contour Reduced Distortion Reduced Cleaning

Less Grinding
Fusion Even on Gaps Smaller Welds

Process Efficiency
Over Welding Uses Larger Wire

Lower Cost
Lower Cost Minimal Training

Can Use CO2

Easy Environmental

Less Smoke
