Visitors to the world’s leading trade fair for joining, cutting and surfacing, will be able to see how the Panasonic TAWERS G4 Welding Robot System – two years on from launch – continues to break new barriers in automated welding control and quality across a variety of different processes and industry requirements.
Panasonic TAWERS G4 Robot Welding System
The Panasonic TAWERS G4 Robot Welding System is the latest evolution in integrated welding solutions, combining advanced robot control and power source technology in one seamless system. Designed for maximum precision, speed and reliability, it delivers outstanding weld quality with reduced spatter and cycle times.
The intuitive interface, real-time data feedback and enhanced adaptability make it ideal for high-mix, high-volume production environments. Additionally, the simplified programming of the TAWERS G4 helps manufacturers boost productivity, improve consistency and reduce operating costs.
Live Demonstrations of Advanced Welding Processes
Argon-Rich Low-Slag Welding for Mild Steel
This advanced method delivers exceptionally clean, high-quality welds – saving time, reducing costs and boosting productivity. By using a stable, argon-rich shielding gas mix and precisely controlled automation, the TAWERS G4 ensures consistent, low-spatter results without the need for a special wire.
AC TIG Welding for Aluminium
The new TAWERS AC TIG welding process for aluminium combines precise waveform control with high welding speeds, thanks to pre-heating of the filler wire. The result is flawless, spatter-free welds with minimal distortion – perfect for bicycle and motorcycle frames, furniture, tanks, and offshore applications.
Pulse Mix Welding with Twin Harmonised Software
Panasonic introduces synchronized dual-robot welding, where one robot leads and the other follows – cutting production time by up to half. This breakthrough ensures beautiful bead appearance, minimal spatter, and precise heat input, especially for aluminium and steel welding in automotive and industrial manufacturing.
Thick Aluminium Plate Welding with High Penetration
For the first time at a live show, Panasonic will demonstrate welding 16–22mm thick aluminium plates using a 500A power source and a pull torch with high penetration – without Helium. This innovation is ideal for offshore and shipbuilding sectors.
Zi-Tech Pulse Welding for Automotive Applications
The new Zi-Pulse process tackles the challenges of welding zinc-galvanized plates. Panasonic has significantly reduced porosity, burn-through and weld defects, making it a powerful solution for automotive underbody parts.
Welding Navigation Plus: Smarter and Simpler
Panasonic debuts its enhanced Welding Navigation Plus software, making robot welding more accessible. The system automatically sets optimal welding parameters and now allows adjustments for penetration depth and weld geometry.
This solution helps manufacturers overcome skilled welder shortages by enabling consistent, high-quality welds with minimal training – all controlled via the TAWERS Teach Pendant.
Panasonic’s Commitment to the Future of Welding
Sergio Maeda, Department Head Robot & Welding, Panasonic Factory Solutions Europe, said:
“Visitors will see first-hand the next wave of welding innovation with these new processes and software enhancements - all designed to deliver cleaner, faster and more consistent welds across a wider range of materials and applications. It’s more reasons why so many manufacturers are now upgrading to the TAWERS G4 platform or switching to Panasonic for the first time: unmatched weld quality, fully integrated systems, user-friendly operation and the power to future-proof their production.”
