With the requirements to increase the quality of the welding process along with a desire to reduce the cycle times, the company neusser formblech from Neuss, near Düsseldorf approached Panasonic Robot & Welding Team in order to fulfill these expectations.

The primary application is for the welding of metal cassettes used especially in the fields of plant manufacturing and cement industry, neusser formblech has searched for a solution where their existing manufacturing capabilities could be stretched and fully optimized, allowing the whole welding process to run fully automatically.

Advantages of the TAWERS Systems are the integrated Inverter Pulse welding power source, additionally as standard the system includes weld navigation software and the new G3-Controller with Ethernet connection possibility. The integration of this robot automated system implicates as a very important productivity improvement: Not only during the welding process but also in the general product handling procedure. neusser formblech are benefiting from a high reduction in cycle times across a variety of products. Typically for each process a welding time of 35 – 40 minutes is saved.

Therefore the total processing time has been reduced significantly. Neusser formblech is convinced of this robot based solution and are already planning to integrate more products into the welding cell manufacturing system. ‘With the system solution of Panasonic we were able to reduce cycle times enormously and therefore save productions costs. For us this is an investment benefit for the long run!’, sums up Mr. Tröster, factory manager of neusser formblech.
