Remote Power Enclosure Solutions

Available in AC or MFDC models!

The remote power enclosures are suitable for integrated welding control solutions

such as the MedWeld 3005 (Allen-Bradley

SLC500 System), the MedWeld 3003 (Nachi

Robotics

System), the MedWeld 3004 (Fanuc Robotics

System) and the MedWeld

3006 (Motoman Robotics). It is selected where the user requires a separation of the

higher welding bus voltages from the control circuits. The remote enclosure

incorporates single or multiple SCRs and welding current sensors. It is also available

with optional circuit breakers and isolation contactors. The intelligent resistance-

welding processor module(s) is shipped with the enclosure to be installed in the main

processor rack within the robot or SLC control. Each SCR firing module requires an

interface cable to link it to the welding processor.

Please refer to the cable reference table.

First Time users of the MedWeld 3005 system should register by purchasing the

"Integrator's Documentation Kit" (Part No. 830-0152) in order to facilitate quick

ladder software instructions.

Note on Current Monitoring for AC and 3-Phase to DC Controls:

The current transformer coil shown above and throughout this catalog is used on AC

and 3-Phase to DC controls. This device is suited for currents above 50 amperes. For

applications below this level, please consult with WTC and request for the document

entitled “Guidelines to Select a Sensor to Measure Welding Current”.
