Amada Weld Tech Europe has released the AWS3 Pneumatic Active Welding System. This system combines pneumatic weld heads and weld pincers with an inverter weld controller. 

The system is an integrated solution unifying process control, monitoring, and quality analysis, one that can be used for welding applications including in medical engineering. 

This system specifically combines F- and FP-series pneumatic weld heads and weld pincers with an IS-Q-series inverter power supply. This means the full AWS3 functionality is now available for pneumatic weld heads. The system does not require a separate monitor, nor a separate WKA adaptor and Smart System Bus interface. Rather, the system only requires one connection for the field bus.

With various interfaces, the Active Welding System can be integrated for automation as it includes MG-300A process monitoring functionality. With remote service capabilities, and a user-friendly human interface panel with either single knob push and turn operation or a touch screen, the system is accessible through several different methods.

The Active Welding System is available in a standard version or with displacement and force measurement. Depending on the configuration selected, the AWS3 can control one or two weld heads or weld pincers. A shorter stroke unit is also available.

To achieve optimum welds, it is crucial to achieve automatic calculation and monitoring of critical values, programming of weld power and weld force profiles, as well as static and dynamic process monitoring.
