Additional Training Courses

Robotic TIG WeldingThis course teaches the process of welding, using a tungsten electrode. During the training the student will receive instruction and extensive hands-on opportunities to develop the skills required to demonstrate proficiency of TIG welding.

Arc Touch Sense / Seam TrackingStudents learn to setup all parameters required for successful arc sensing and seam tracking, ensuring high quality welds on even the most inconsistent materials.

Coordinated MotionThis course teaches the skills and knowledge required to generate robotic welding programs using external servo driven axis.

Aluminum Welding OptimizationThis course teaches the sequence commands associated with welding aluminum applications. The curriculum also covers techniques including base-metal preparation, preheating, shielding gas, welding wire, and programming techniques related to aluminum robotic programming.

Active Wire ProcessPanasonic Active Wire Feed Process (AWP) is born from TAWERS “Fusion” technology developed for further improving welding quality. This course teaches the principles behind welding with AWP and setting weld parameters.

Waveform DevelopmentThis course teaches the programmers how to input the sequence commands that impact the waveform of the arc. A series of labs allow users to understand what each sequence command adjustment does to the arc. The course also includes an overview of adjusting the waveform for each welder profile.

Dual Robot OperationThis course covers the basics of slave robot control, advance Input/Output programming, and programming with handshakes.
