| WOC-1000™
Weld Oscillator Controller |
- Computer
Weld Technology's Weld Oscillator Control System is a compact,
lightweight, weld torch manipulation control system comprised
of the micro-controller based Weld Oscillator Control and
a stepper motor driven Pendulum Oscillator Assembly. This
system is capable of providing independant control of all
torch movements in the horizontal plane. Employing patented
"Thru-Arc" tracking technology, the system provides
automatic torch centering and width control.
- The
WOC-1000 provides automatic torch centering and four modes
of operation. Constant width oscillation with automatic
torch centering, variable width and centerline control using
a depth of penetration parameter to control the width, single
right side tracking with constant width and single left
side tracking with constant width. All of the seam tracking
information is derived from the welding arc and oscillator
position.

- The
WOC-1OOO provides a user definable 50 sequence Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC) with four 24 vdc inputs and two N.O.
relay contacts. Using the PLC the user can provide external
program control and simple power source interface. The RS-232
serial port is provided for off-line programming and system
configuration and can also be used to remotely control the
WOC-1OOO.
- The
Weld Oscillator Control provides the necessary command signals
to the stepper motor powered drive to permit the selection
of the following functions from the front panel of the oscillator
control box.
