MedWeld 3000 Catalog Revision 8
July 2002 Page 8 of 72
Configurations and Packages
The MedWeld 3000 Series resistance welding controls have welding processor boards that integrate into
the hardware platform of machine or robotic controllers. This eliminates redundant hardware such as input
and output modules, multi-conductor cables, terminal points, and rack assemblies. This makes the overall
system more reliable in its production environment.
MedWeld 3003 – integrates with Nachi Robotics Systems – AR & AW Robots
MedWeld 3004 – integrates with Fanuc Robotics Systems – RJ3 Robot
MedWeld 3005 – integrates with Allen-Bradley – 1747 SLC 500
MedWeld 3006 – integrates with Motoman Robotics Systems – XRC Robot
Other available platforms for integrators:
IBM PC ISA Half slot bus
VME bus in 6U form factor
Compact PCI 6U form factor
PC104 bus compatible
What type of package to order?
There are three types of packages that can be obtained: kit format, remote enclosure format, and the fully
integrated system format. The MedWeld 3003, 3004 and 3006 come only in the remote enclosure format
whereas the MedWeld 3005 comes in all types of packages.
Kit Format
The MedWeld 3005 can be purchased in kit format. Kits are for integrators who assemble their own control
enclosures and want to add Medar modules within these enclosures to provide resistance-welding
capabilities. Please call should another type of kit not listed in this publication suit your needs better. An
integrator who purchased a MedWeld 3005 Tripack integrator’s kit shown has assembled the control
system that is shown on the cover. The circuit breaker with its operating handle, the isolation contactor,
and the power bus bars are also available in kits.
Remote Enclosures
All MedWeld 3000 Series controls can be purchased in remote enclosure packages. This package allows
the separation of high voltages present in welding controls from the controls system. A full description of
the remote enclosure concept is described on pages 16 and 18.
Integrated Welding Systems
OEMs and users can acquire a fully integrated resistance welding system from Medar. There are various
standard configurations that are shown in this catalog. Please call should you need a customized system
that is not shown in this publication.
