Three control options are available:

1. Basic Control consisting of:
   • Small Size PLC
   • Programming of welding parameters is accomplished via potentiometers located on a small pendant.
   • Weld duration time is based on a timer and is programmable.
   • Welding can be accomplished utilizing the X-axis or rotary axis.
     
   
   
2. Advanced Control consisting of:
   • Medium Size PLC
   • Programming of welding parameters is accomplished via a touch screen located on the operator's pendant.
   • Weld current, travel speed, and arc voltage have override adjustment.
     


3. NC Control consisting of:
   • NC Controller utilizes a DSP processor with the control card located in the PC chassis.
   • Programming of welding parameters is accomplished via an operator console with a CRT keyboard.
   • Programming is NC language.
   • Operator pendant is used to start and stop the weld program.
   • Weld current, travel speed, and arc voltage have override adjustment.
   • Motorized axes jogs are provided in low speed, medium speed, high speed, and in increments of 0.01" and 0.1"

Optional features include:

• Weld Gap Measurement
• Camera System
• NDT
• Networking
  

PWT offers PLC retrofits for obsolete automatic welding equipment such as Hobart DABBER TIG welding systems, Griffin automated welding machines, and others.

Each controller is capable of executing the following functions: Preflow Time Initial Weld Current & Travel Speed Initial Slope for Weld Current AVC Head Unlock Delay & Wire Feed Start Weld Current & Travel Speed Final Slope for Weld Current Final Weld Current & Travel Speed Wire Feed Retract & Stop Post Flow Timer     Pictured system includes:   programmable touch panel (upper left corner) and hand-held pendant (lower left corner).
