PERFORMANCE
• Designed for robotic and hard automation for the automotive,
transportation, fabrication, furniture, lawn and garden, and agri-
cultural industries, among others.
• Digital communication between the power source and the wire
feeder for demanding robotic applications.
• Braking system minimizes wire sticking in the puddle for smooth
finishes.

WHAT IS NEXTWELD™?
ArcLink™ and FANUC Robotics
ArcLink is a digital communications protocol for sharing information
between intelligent components in an arc welding system. Power
Wave products and FANUC robotic systems interfaced with ArcLink™
provide the following benefits over Analog-Digital Interface:
• Common user interface on Teach Pendant eliminates the
requirement for any user panel on the power source.
• Teach Pendant can display actual volts, wire feed speed, etc. in
process specific units.
• No setup function is required. The Robot is an ArcLink device and
recognizes which power source is connected.
• Process procedures reside in the power source database and can
be searched by process and material type directly on the Teach
Pendant.
• High speed CAN 2.0B interface provides robust industrial network
with collision detection and active/general connection states.
• Switch among eight modes (CV, Pulse, Pulse-On-Pulse, etc.)
dynamically on the fly based on weld requirements.
• Arc start response time of 5/10 msec or less.
• FANUC’s FAStart provides 300 msec arc start improvement over
other systems, 100 msec arc end improvement resulting in time
savings of 400 msec per weld.
• Touch Sensing Performance of 100 mm/sec search speed with
.045 steel wire.
• Touch Sensing does not require additional hardware.
• ArcTool Control software enables true weld sequencer commands
motion and weld procedures.
• Detailed power source Fault & Alarm information available on the
Teach Pendant.
• Ability to monitor and download software to the power source
through the Ethernet connection on FANUC’s R-J3iB controller.
New procedures can be sent to any and all machines over the
network.
• Full support of Lincoln diagnostic packages through R-J3iB
Ethernet port.
• FANUC TAST performance is available with no additional
hardware to provide updates of actual weld current and voltage
at 250 Hz for improved seam tracking performance.
• Calibration between robot and power source is not required.
