General
Device concept
The TransSteel (TSt) 3500 Rob and TSt
5000 Rob power sources are fully-digitised,
microprocessor-controlled inverter power
sources.
The modular design and potential for sys-
tem add-ons ensure a high degree of flexi-
bility. The devices are designed for the
welding of steel.
All devices are suitable for:
-
MAG welding
- Manual metal arc welding
The device has a "Power limitation" safety feature. This means that the power source can
be operated at the power limit without compromising process safety. For more information,
see the "Welding mode" section.
Requirements The TSt 3500 Rob and TSt 5000 Rob power sources can be used in conjunction with the
VR 5000rob wire-feed unit.
Functional princi-
ple The central control and regulation unit of the power source is coupled with a digital signal
processor. The central control and regulation unit and signal processor control the entire
welding process.
During the welding process, the actual data is measured continuously and the device re-
sponds immediately to any changes. Control algorithms ensure that the desired command
values are kept.
This results in:
-
a precise welding process,
- a high degree of reproducibility of all results,
- excellent weld properties.
Application areas The devices are used in workshops and industry for manual and automated applications
with classical steel and galvanised sheets.
The TSt 3500/5000 power sources are designed for:
-
Machine and equipment construction
- Steelwork
- Plant and container construction
- Shipyards and the offshore industry
- Metal and gantry construction
- Rolling stock construction
