QUES.   What does a resistance welding monitor do?

ANS.     Most resistance welding controls don't have any way to check their work (and none can check their work as well as the WeldComputer® Adaptive Control). Some manufacturers want to provide a level of quality assurance to their resistance welding operations so they utilize monitors to check the work of their welding machines. Unlike other monitors, the WeldView® Monitor is designed for production process control and, unlike other monitors, the WeldView® Monitor checks more than just electrical parameters.

QUES.   How many welding heads can a WeldView® Monitor check?

ANS.     The WeldView® Monitor can be configured to check from one to eight welding heads (i.e., sets of electrodes) simultaneously for all key welding parameters.

QUES.   What welding parameters does the WeldView® Monitor check?
 
ANS.     The WeldView® Monitor can be configured to monitor current, voltage, conductance, energy, workpiece thickness, displacement, and electrode force for every half cycle of every weld (or, in the case of inverters and cap discharge welders, as frequently as every 10usec!).  Actual values are compared to upper and lower limits of acceptability and the system provides a fault signal output if any parameter is out of limits.
