Mechanized Thru-ARC System

MTS is an add-on Thru-ARC™ Tracking System designed to interface to a new or existing welding system and will operate as a standalone tracking system. It only requires the installation of the slides, clamp on current sensor and voltage sense cable with no direct interface to the welding power supply.

• Torch Height (AVC or ACC), Centerline, Single Side (Right or Left) and Width Control Tracking Modes
• System configurations are programmed through a 4” Touch Screen Operator Interface Panel (OIP)
• Interfaces to existing logic controls using the Modbus® communications protocols (RTU or TCP/IP)
• Micro Step Controls for X and Y axis motion control
• Remote user I/O and control signals
• Can be used with GMAW, GTAW, SAW and GMAW-P welding processes

Connectivity

• MTS Lan Port – RJ45 Modbus® TCP/IP Ethernet, 10Base-T or 100Base-TX (auto-sensing)
• OIP Lan Port – RJ45 Ethernet 10Base-T or 100Base-TX (auto-sensing)
• OIP USB Port – USB 2.0 connection for program updates

Benefits

• No additional sensors
• Maintains true arc position
• Provides adaptive fill capabilities
• Simple retrofit to existing fixtures
• No special maintenance required
• Lower cycle time and increase productivity
• Improve weld quality and consistency Reduce scrape parts
