Yaskawa Motoman’s Universal Weldcom Interface simplifies welding process control

Universal Weldcom Interface (UWI), a new pendant application from Yaskawa Motoman, enables full utilization capabilities on select Miller and Lincoln Electric digital welding power supplies.

The interface simplifies control of any weld process or parameter, including voltage, amperage, and wire feed speed, through a common user interface for either brand.

The unit can filter weld modes based on process type, wire size, wire type, and gas type. Up to 16 processes from the power source library can be defined for easy access within the interface, and up to 1,000 custom arc files with specific processes and parameters are available for use in motion programming.

Up to six weld process parameters in a weld sequence can be set. A new dual-pulse function allows alternating between GMAW parameters and settings for GTAW-like cosmetics.
