G4 Controller - Next Generation Robot Controller
Panasonic Robot & Welding introduce its next generation G4 Robot Controller designed to set new standards in Robot Welding for speed, quality, safety and connectivity. The G4 Controller is part of ’The Arc Welding Robot System’ (TAWERS), which delivers unique peace of mind to customers by bringing together the total solution of robot, controller, power source and servo wire feeder - all from one manufacturer.
The G4- is the further development of the G3 controller and supports the Factory Optimization due to Improved motion accuracy, Touch panel with 3D display and Open interface specifications.
Highly accurate, efficient welding experience
The new G4 Controller helps deliver a faster, more accurate and efficient robot welding service. The maximum speed of each axis has improved by up to 27% by fine-tuning acceleration / deceleration control. These improvements increase productivity in demanding tasks and product quality.
Easier to use with touch panel and 3D display
The teach pendant has been enhanced with an intuitive, slimmed-down user interface and increased resolution on the glove-friendly touch panel display. It also includes a 3D high-definition display for operators to visualise the movement of the robot and any potential safety issues ahead of operation.
For manufacturing where everything is connected
Fast and flexible connectivity in a manufacturing environment is enabled with the inclusion of the open communication interface OPC UA. Cameras or sensors for data collection or safety can easily be integrated into the system.
Enhanced welding performance
Next generation welding performance is assured with a series of innovations. Welding is also enhanced, for example with one process reducing spattering by up to 62% to improve quality. The new G4 Controller also offers improved welding navigational data and management, on-site welding waveform analysis and welding defect verification without the need for external measuring equipment.
