Panasonic TAWERS WG4 Review Summary
TAWERS is Panasonic's signature idea: one controller runs both robot and welding power source, so the arc and the motion are controlled together. The WG4 generation outputs 30 to 350 A for CO2, MAG and MIG, including pulse, with 80% duty cycle on standard processes. It controls six axes simultaneously and up to 27 in total, has functional safety I/O, a multi-core CPU and backlash and deflection correction for accurate high-speed paths. Panasonic cites up to 62% less spatter with one process. A touch pendant with 3D display and IoT interfaces round it out.
Pros
Integrated power source
Up to 27 axes
Low spatter
Functional safety
Cons
Panasonic ecosystem only
200 V three-phase supply
Who It Is For
