AWS3 Pneumatic
The AWS3 Pneumatic Active Welding System combines pneumatic weld heads / weld pincers (F- and FP-series) with an inverter power supply (IS-Q-series) all in one unique system. Its various interfaces make AWS3 an easy to integrate system for automation. The complete system is an integrated solution providing process control, monitoring and quality analysis all in one.
The Active Welding System is available as standard or with displacement and force measurement. The AWS3 can control 1 or 2 weld heads or weld pincers depending on the configuration selected. An additional lower stroke unit is available. Automatic calculation and monitoring of critical values, programming of weld power and weld force profiles as well as the static and dynamic process monitoring are critical elements to achieve optimum welds. The AWS3 Pneumatic combines these elements into one premium system that enables quick and precise parameter settings.
