Notes on Safety
Before installation, operation, be sure to read "Chapter 1 Points on Safety" in INSTALLATION manual and other
attached documents thoroughly and acquire all the knowledge of machines, safety information, and precautions.
Furthermore, before maintenance, inspection, and trouble scene, be sure to read CONTROLLER
MAINTENANCE manual and MANIPULATOR manual and other attached documents thoroughly and acquire all
the knowledge of machines, safety information, and precautions.
If operating machines in a wrong way, the accident resulting in various ranks of injury or death, or damage may
occur.
In order to call attention to wrong handling, the following four ranks of safety notes (“DANGER”, “WARNING”,
“CAUTION”, and “IMPORTANT”) are provided.
DANGER
Cases where a mistake made in handling is likely to cause the user to be exposed to
the danger of death or serious injury and where the degree of the urgency
(imminence) of the warning given for the danger to occur is at the high end of the
scale (including high-level danger).
- 3 -
WARNING
Cases where a mistake made in handling is likely to cause the user to be exposed to
the danger of death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Cases where a mistake made in handling is likely to cause the user to be exposed to
the danger of minor injuries or of property damage only.
The following symbol is also used for particularly important checkpoints:
IMPORTANT
This is a particularly important checkpoint.
Note that even the matters which are described as CAUTION can result in serious accident depending on the conditions.
Be sure to keep the safety notes since they describe very important matters.
The meanings of “Serious injury”, “Minor injury”, and “Damage” described above are as follows.
Serious injury :Injury which has the aftereffect by loss of eyesight, an injury, the burn (high/low
temperature), an electric shock, fracture, poisoning, etc. and that which requires
hospitalization and long-term treatment as an outpatient.
Minor injury : Injury which does not require either hospitalization or long-term treatment as an outpatient,
a burn (high temperature, low temperature), and an electric shock.
Damage : Direct and indirect damage in connection with damage of property and equipment.

1.1 Welding Interface (Digital)
1-1
1.1 Welding Interface (Digital)
When "Welding Interface (Digital)" is used, the latest Welbee Inverter series welding power source can be
connected to an AXC controller using digital communication. Compared to Welding Interface (AXWF-10**) that is
connected using analog signals, many more welding parameters that are available in the Welbee Inverter series
welding power source can be controlled by the robot controller. Also, various useful functions are available, such
as the real-time monitoring of the welding current and voltage during welding.
When the interface is used, D series welding power sources shown in Table 1.2.3 that are connected to the AXC
controller can be easily replaced with Welbee Inverter series welding power sources. In this case, you only need
to adjust the welding conditions. You can continue using the existing programs and welding condition file.

1.2 Main specifications
The interface is installed inside the AXC controller. The main specifications are as follows.
1.2.1 Hardware specifications
Table 1.2.1 Hardware specifications
Item Specification
Product name Welding Interface (Digital)
Part number L22440A00
Input power supply (rated
voltage) DC24V ± 10%
Permissible operating
temperature range 0 to 60℃, 20 to 80% RH (no condensation)
Permissible storage
temperature range -30 to 70℃, 10 to 90% RH (no condensation)
Communication interface CAN, 2ch
USB port
1 port
For USB memory (settings, maintenance)
*Operation is not guaranteed to work with a commercially
available USB memory.
Use the USB memory (parts number L21700U00)
recommended by OTC.
1.2.2 Connectable robot controllers
The interface can be connected to an AXC controller. It cannot be used with robot controllers
other than AXC robot controllers.
1.2.3 Connectable welding power sources
When the interface is used, the Welbee Inverter series welding power sources shown in Table
1.2.2 can be connected to the AXC controller. Up to 4 Welbee Inverter series welding power
sources can be connected to the interface. These welding power sources are used by registering
them in f5 <Arc Constant> - [1 Registration of welder] on the AXC controller as the welding power
sources shown in "Configuration on the robot controller" in Table 1.2.2.
IMPORTANT
Control software that supports the interface must be installed on the Welbee
Inverter series welding power source that is connected to the interface. To
confirm whether your welding power source is supported by the interface,
check the software version of the welding power source, and then contact
OTC’s Service.
You can check the software version of the welding power source on the front
panel.
For details, see the instruction manual of your welding power source.
D series welding power sources and Welbee Inverter series welding power
sources cannot be used at the same time.

connection.
*5 Continue using DP as is only when the existing DP-500 is replaced with WB-P500L. Also,
when using WB-P500L, a rated current 500A for WB-P500L is available at the maximum
even if it is registered as DPR in the robot controller.
POINT
Welbee Inverter series welding power sources connected using the interface are
handled by the AXC controller as the D series welding power sources shown in
"Configuration on the robot controller" in Table 1.2.2 for operations and teaching.
If you replace an existing D series welding power source connected to the AXC controller with a
Welbee Inverter series welding power source as shown in Table 1.2.3, you can continue to use
the existing programs and welding condition file (however, you need to adjust the welding
conditions).
To replace using Welding Interface (AXWF-10**), you need to re-teach the arc start/end functions
(AS/AE functions) (delete and re-teach the AS/AE functions), and re-create the welding condition
file.

POINT
Use welding characteristic data with a "High" Travel speed as the welding characteristic
data for Table 1.4.2. If the welding speed is low (generally, 50 cm/min or less) and the
welding is unstable, use welding characteristic data with a "Standard" Travel speed.
Welding performance may become unstable when using the extended power cable
depending on the layout condition of cables (when the total length exceeds 30m or the
cable is coiled). In that case, voltage adjustment will normally bring about stable
condition. However, use the welding characteristic data dedicated to “Extension cable”
application if the welding performance is not yet stable.
