How it compares
The TM-1400 competes with Yaskawa MA1440, OTC FD-B6, and Fanuc Arc Mate 120iD in the 6kg/1400mm welding robot class. Panasonic's TAWERS integration advantage becomes more pronounced in the WG3 generation; the TM-1400 is the standard platform for straightforward arc welding applications.
FAQ
What welding processes does the Panasonic TM-1400 support?
The TM-1400 supports MIG, MAG, and TIG arc welding when paired with compatible Panasonic welding power sources through the G3 controller.
What controller does the Panasonic TM-1400 use?
The TM-1400 uses Panasonic Robotics' G3 controller, which provides integrated motion control and welding process management.
How does the TM-1400 compare to the TM-1400WG3?
The TM-1400WG3 is a newer generation with TAWERS WG3 welding integration for improved arc quality. The TM-1400 is the standard platform for general arc welding; the WG3 variant is preferred where weld quality optimisation is a priority.
