WeldTech’s 3
rd generation PTA Controller is the primary unit for controlling all parameters of the WT3500 system. The controller can be run in any of three operating modes; manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic.
The unit is a PLC driven system that can be operated via digital touch screen or analog controls on a remote hand-held pendant. Exclusive to WeldTech’s WT3500 controller are internalized controls for the Arc
Voltage Controller (AVC) and Oscillator components. Our units have been rigorously tested while running under real world applications proving themselves to be both reliable and cost efficient solutions for PTA
welding applications.
NOTE: This overview includes additional options not available in the base controller. For a complete list of features, options, details and specifications please reference the appropriate “TAB” above.
