The new TAWERS Zi-Tech process - the solution for welding of zinc coated steel
December 2012
With the TAWERS Zi-Tech process Panasonic Robot and Welding Systems Europe is proud to present the latest function of its TAWERS technology (welding robot systems with integrated power source). The new Zi-Tech process allows low-spatter welding of zinc coated work pieces with the TAWERS WG3 welding robots.
Therefore two variants of Zi-Tech are available:
- Zi-Tech HD-Pulse
- Zi-Tech Active Wire
With the Zi-Tech HD-Pulse zinc coated steel can be low-spatter welded with mixed gas. In compare to the normal CO2 welding it's possible to achieve a spatter reduction of up to 63%.
The Zi-Tech Active Wire technology allows a further spatter reduction of up to 81% by using CO2 as shielding gas in compare to normal CO2 welding.
