The ESAB Aristomig 5002CW is a MIG/MAG welding system taken off a robot station. The Chopper type power source, marked in the source description as Origo Mig 5002cw, gives 500 A at a 60% duty cycle and 400 A at a continuous 100% load. The set is run by the Aristo U82 panel with synergy, pulse and double pulse.
What this machine is for
This is equipment for plants that automate production or add a second robot station. The set came complete from a working cell: power source, panel, robot wire feeder, communication module and torch, so after you connect it to the robot controller you have a ready welding path. Continuous work at 400 A means the robot can weld in long cycles without breaks for the power source to cool.
The power source works in Chopper technology. The current is controlled on the constant voltage side, so the arc stays steady also at a high load close to 400 A and 500 A, and that counts on long welds on thick structural steel. The Aristo U82 panel adds full synergy and pulse modes to that, among them the double pulse, which lays an even ripple and puts the penetration in order, so the amount of spatter drops and the station needs the torch cleaned less often.
In the panel you save up to 255 synergic lines, so setting the robot up for a new part comes down to picking a saved program. Repeatable parameters are the base for work to the requirements of EN 1090 and ISO 3834, which the source description of the set refers to.
The second part of the set is the automation. The Robo Feed 3004w wire feeder has a four roll drive and liquid cooling, so the wire feed stays even at high welding speeds and the weld geometry does not drift. The Aristo W82 module with DeviceNet communication ties the power source to the robot controller, so you set and change the parameters from the robot programming panel and not by hand at the machine. The interconnection cable package of 10 m gives you room in setting the power source against the arm.
Features and equipment
- Chopper type power source for 500 A at a 60% duty cycle and 400 A in continuous work at 100%: a steady arc at a high load.
- Aristo U82 panel: full synergy, pulse and double pulse, control of the whole process from one place.
- Memory for up to 255 synergic lines: setting up for a new part comes down to picking a program.
- Double pulse: an even ripple and control of the penetration, less spatter in robot work.
- Robo Feed 3004w wire feeder: four roll drive, liquid cooling, even feed at high speeds.
- Aristo W82 module with DeviceNet: a direct tie of the power source to the robot controller and control of the parameters from the programming panel.
- AbiRob W5h torch made for work on a robot arm.
- Interconnection cable package 10 m: you set the power source in the place you pick in the cell.

What to watch out for
The supply is a 400 V mains, and the power circuit you size for work at 500 A. The set was put together for a robot, so the AbiRob W5h torch suits an arm and not a hand. If you want to weld by hand, add a manual torch and check that the connector on the feeder side fits. The communication runs over DeviceNet, so on the robot side you need a controller that handles this protocol, and with another system a module that translates the signals comes on top.
The wire feeder and the torch are liquid cooled, so before the start check the coolant level, the flow and the tightness of the quick couplings. The interconnection cable package is 10 m, which sets the minimum distance between the power source and the arm, but it also means that you take the whole set apart when you move it. The card gives no weight and no dimensions, so settle the transport and the way in with us beforehand. The set was taken off a working cell.
How we sell used machines
This unit was checked in our service workshop in Krotoszyn with measurements to PN-EN 60974-4 and a load test. The price includes the first year of the basic service package: an inspection with cleaning of the machine and a validation measurement. Further years can be added. We ship across the European Union, collection in person by appointment.
