would make the weld manually. How would I position my torch? What would my gun angle look like? What would tip-to-workpiece distance need to be? He simply moves the robot arm into that orientation from point to point. The unique features of our robot allow him to digitally see the work angle, the torch angle, the push angle, or pull angle—all visually displayed. It takes the guess- work out of programming,” said Sum- mers. “Using the Weld Navigator func- tion allows inputting variables about what kind of weld, material thickness is required, and the robot will automatical- ly calculate what travel speeds, voltage, and amperage are required based on material thickness and joint size.” Summers said that welding thinner metals and metals coated for corrosion resistance is a challenge to controlling feed input, while fi t up is always a chal- lenge. “If the joint isn’t in the same spot each time results will not be consistent. For welding thinner metals, our Active Wire Process technology, for example, uses a combination of mechanical feeding forward and backward of the welding wire, which is moving in and out like a sewing machine needle. We combine that motion with waveform control to weld thinner and thinner ma- terials with absolutely no spatter.”


Supplier Goes All-In With Its Turnkey Solutions “We have a diverse customer group that includes, automotive, light and heavy industrial, and oil and gas, and aluminum applications which happens to be our specialty for robotic weld- ing,” said Todd Griffi eth, Technical Operations Manager, OTC DAIHEN (Tipp City, OH). “As a turnkey solutions provider, we propose a solution that fi ts the cus-
