Press Release Summary:
By combining Model WEL weld-thru load cell with Model WGM Weldmeter, user can control electrode force at time of firing for spot and projections welds. System works in combination with new constant voltage weld controllers to provide economical control system that triggers weld when proper force is reached. System works equally well with differential air or hydraulic pressure sensors. Original Press Release:
Weld-thru Sensor for Force-Triggered Firing
SENSOTEC introduces the application of force measurement technology to traditional resistance welding techniques. By combining the Model WEL weld-thru load cell with a Model WGM Weldmeter it is possible to control the electrode force at the time of firing for spot and projections welds. This system works equally well with differential air, or hydraulic pressure sensors to provide consistent results.
This proven technology works in combination with the new constant voltage weld controllers to provide an economical control system which triggers the weld when the proper force is reached. Many tier 1 & 2 manufacturers, especially in the automotive market, are driving towards zero defects. Reducing variations in weld nugget diameter through technology is a cost-effective solution. Sensotec provides a family of force sensors and meters to suit most welding applications.
