 Simplicity and efficiency in programming
Five ways to program Panasonic weldingrobotsystems
Both Panasonic Welding Systems and Valk Welding wants to offer the finest tools for the arc welding robot industry.

With the TAWERS weldingrobots and programming software for teach-pendant and pc, they offer the best all-in-one

system available on the market for arc welding robot jobs.

robot systems
the best tools for the arc welding
robot process
Valk Welding uses Panasonic arc welding robots to automate welding pro-
cess. Panasonic is one of the few welding robot manufacturers producing
all components and the software under its own management. This carries
the advantage that the welding robot, welding power source, control, wire
feeder, positioners and software are optimized with each other. Panasonic
has thus grown to be one of the most innovative manufacturers in this field.

Valk Welding welding robots and

consumables throughout Europe
During the past decade Valk Welding has built up its reputation in the Euro-
pean welding industry as a premier robot integrator and supplier of welding
wire and welding consumables. With the sale and installation of more than
1.800 welding-robot systems throughout Europe and monthly deliveries of
more than 650 tonnes of solid welding wire Valk Welding has grown into an
organisation with a broad range of engineering, assembly, training and dis-
tribution facilities, with sites in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, the Czech
Republic and Denmark.
