Features of New Robot Controller, CB-type Controller, for ARCMAN^sup TM^ Welding System

Recently, the needs for welding automation have become more diversified and advanced, requiring a robot controller with higher performance and improved functions. Hence, we have developed a new controller, the CB-type controller, which features high performance, highly-sophisticated functions, and ease of use. This paper introduces these three features. In addition, the potential of the CB-type controller is described along with the example of a new arc-sensor control system under development.
