Welbee Welding Power Sources: Advanced Digital Arc Control for Robotic Welding
Welbee is OTC Daihen's lineup of digital welding power sources. Welbee welding power sources are engineered specifically for robotic and automated welding applications with advanced waveform control, pulse welding capabilities, and ultra-low spatter technology. This helps reduce manual welding needs. The same machine is available for manual use when paired with a wire feeder.
Welbee power sources use digital inverter technology to precisely control the welding arc at the waveform level by adjusting voltage, current, and wire feed in real-time. This is done to optimize arc stability, penetration, and bead profile for each material and joint combination.
Capital Machine is your source for the full Welbee product line.
We have integrated Welbee welding machines with Yaskawa manipulators and Fusion Arc weld cells to deliver complete, turnkey robotic welding systems that are backed by our 40+ factory-trained field service engineers across our 22-state territory.
Welbee Product Lineup: Models for Every Robotic Welding Application
The Welbee welding lineup available through Capital Machine will cover all your shop's needs. The Welbee
M-series focuses on standard metal inert gas (MIG) and metal active gas (MAG) welding with digital arc optimization. The W-series adds AC/DC welding machines with advanced pulse welding modes for materials requiring precise heat input control, such as thin gauge metal, aluminum, and stainless steel. This Welbee W-series offers specialized waveform options for demanding applications.
We also offer specialty units such as the Welbee DL350 for low heat input applications requiring minimal distortion, the OTC Daihen DA300P TIG welding machine for hybrid pulsed welding, and the OTC Daihen D12000 air cutting plasma system, expanding the range of processes Capital Machine can support.
Synchro Feed and Digital Waveform: How Welbee Technology Improves Your Welds
Synchro Feed Evolution is OTC Daihen's proprietary wire feeding technology that is integrated with Welbee power sources. This combination synchronizes wire feed direction with arc transfer to produce ultra-low spatter welds by reversing wire direction during the short-circuit phase.
Welbee's pulsed MIG welding machine capabilities are particularly effective on challenging materials. Pulsed MIG alternates between peak and background currents, enabling spray transfer quality on thin materials without burn-through risk.
Why Welbee Power Sources Outperform Conventional Welding Equipment
A typical 300-amp transformer supply weighs 200lbs to 400lbs, while inverter-based units, like the Welbee, weigh a fraction of that. Inverter technology delivers up to a 30% reduction in power usage. Welbee has several advantages over basic inverter units, such as advanced digital waveform shaping, not just on/off pulse; Synchro Feed wire control; multiple programmable weld schedules; and designed-for-robot communication protocols. These are all capabilities that basic inverters lack.
Welbee Integration with OTC Daihen & Yaskawa Robots and Fusion Arc Cells
Welbee power sources communicate with OTC Daihen with direct communication, as well as with Yaskawa robot controllers through digital protocols that synchronize arc welding start/stop, wire feed speed, voltage, and travel speed. This ensures the power source and robot work as a coordinated system rather than independent components.
Since OTC Daihen manufactures both the welding power source and complementary welding robots, their equipment is designed for seamless integration. Capital Machine extends this by pairing Welbee power sources with OTC Daihen's reach, speed, or specific model capabilities.
Installation, Training, and Lifecycle Support for Welbee Power Sources
Capital Machine offers power source installation, communication setup with robot controller, weld schedule programming and parameter optimization, first-article testing, and operator training. This is all managed as part of our broader robotic welding system integration.
Operators learn weld schedule management, parameter adjustment, and basic troubleshooting. Our programming training covers weld schedule creation, pulse mode selection, and optimization for specific materials with ongoing retraining as staff changes.
We offer condition-based maintenance, contact tip and consumable management, firmware updates, weld procedure development support, and break-fix service with parts-stocked vans all backed by our 40+ factory-trained field service engineers across our 22-state territory.
