The Mechanized Thru-ARC System (MTS) is an add on Thru-Arc™ Tracking System that can be installed as an addition to a new or existing welding cell and can operate as a standalone component or interface with existing logic controls via MODBUS Communications protocol. 

The control is comprised of the following major components: 

o Thru-Arc Tracking embedded micro controller assembly 

o Two MSC II Micro Step controllers for X and Y Axis motion control 

o 4” Operator Interface Panel

o Our Vertical and Horizontal Slides 

o Our Volt Sensor and 1000 amp sensor assembly 

The embedded micro controller assembly provides six isolated 24 VDC inputs, four isolated Solid State Relay outputs, one isolated RS422 Terminal serial control port, TTL level encoder input. 

The MTS system is supplied in two versions. 

The first version is the “Basic” system and will support the following Thru-Arc™ tracking modes: 

o ACC/AVC torch height control

o A=B centerline tracking with torch height control

The second version is the “Adaptive” system and will support the following Thru-Arc™ tracking modes:

o ACC/AVC torch height control

o A=B centerline tracking with torch height control

o Single side tracking with torch height control

o Width control with constant volume fill

o Inverted A=B centerline tracking with torch height
