WeldComputer Adaptive Control for Flash Welding

Adaptive control regulates consistency of flash weld process while reducing power consumption. Most flash welding operations have high scrap rates and and power consumption due to the complexity and demands of the application. WeldComputer(R) inverter controls reduce energy demands, while providing for more precise flashing control. By adding monitoring and adaptive capabilities, flashing distance and upset […]

Increasing Resistance Seam Welding Throughput with Adaptive Controls

Benefits include regulating weld consistency, operating at fast production speeds, and improving weld qualityBy Robert K. Cohen Making a gas-tight seal with a seam welding machine involves making a series of overlapping spots. Each spot produced should be a fully formed nugget that is free of expulsion. Using too little heat produces an undersized spot, which can cause a leak. Using too much heat […]
