PerformArc 1100FW

PerformArc 1100FW

High Output system for Automotive or General Industry Parts

Features

Extremely High Productivity
High speed "ferris wheel" positioner with three independent servo motors provides industry leading indexing times, which maximizes welding production time.

118" span between the head and tail stock with 1100 lb. capacity on each side.

Available dual robot configuration allows a second robot to be added, theoretically doubling throughput with no additional floor space required.

GMAW and GTAW applications.
Load Station Flexibility
Optional load station jogging provides complete load position flexibility, allowing multi-stage loading or tack and finish welding to occur in a common welding fixture.

Servo Positioners allow the parts to be rotated into the desired welding position, maximizing torch access and welding quality.
Quick Assembly
A fully welded frame, pre-wired and pre-assembled ships in three sections for quick assembly.
Safety and Performance

Accessories

DTPS - DeskTop Programming and Simulation Software

Heavy Plate Software

Fast and easy programming even on the most complex multi-pass weldments. All required commands and sensor setup in a single menu screen. Welding procedures can be developed quickly and transported easily from part to part.
Active Wire Process (AWP)

Active wire is an advanced short arc welding process combining the robot motion path, welder waveform and servo wire feed control simultaneously reversing the wire at the short circuit to control the weld deposition precisely.
