Welding Navigation Plus

User-Friendly for Any Experience Level

Summary

Welding Navigation Plus helps to solve several major challenges in modern production – finding skilled welders, reducing teaching and setup time, and determining the optimal parameters for each job. 

Already a standard weld navigation function recommends ideal welding conditions simply by entering the joint shape and plate thickness, which will support to make the welding more reliable. 

With the upgraded G4 version—Weld Navigation Plus—users can go even further. The software suggests not only suitable parameters but also targeted control of penetration and welding shape, which enabling a higher degree of process optimization.

Benefits

✓ Recommends optimal welding conditions by inputting joint shape & plate thickness 

✓ Reduces teaching time and reduces skill dependency, achieving high-quality welding

Your Value and Options with Panasonic

Intuitive User Guidance

Available with the TAWER Super Active Process: Weld Navigation Plus supports essential parts of the setup process, making welding more costefficient and ensuring consistently high quality. Because it is easy to learn and requires fewer welding skills, even beginners can quickly achieve stable welding results. This is particularly valuable in industries facing a shortage of skilled welders. With Weld Navigation Plus, companies can bridge this skills gap easily. 

Another major benefit of the TAWERS system is its fully integrated approach. All tasks—welding parameter setup, robot programming, and system operation—are managed through a single device: the Teach Pendant. Users do not need separate training courses for different manufacturers’ components. Panasonic provides one comprehensive training program (including external axes) that can be completed in just four days. 

This integrated concept makes the entire workflow more cost-effective, easier to understand, and eliminates compatibility issues between different suppliers. Everything comes from one source— Panasonic—ensuring seamless operation and maximum efficiency.
