Resistance welding gauge
January 1st 2008 The automotive industry is a major
user of resistance welding
equipment, most of it installed
under robot control. It is essential
that the equipment installed to
produce these welds is
continuously and accurately
monitored using gauges which
measure the welding force applied
to the joint.
Electrode pressure or force is a
key parameter in obtaining quality
welds in the automotive industry;
these are regarded as safetycritical
joints. By using gauges to
check pressure regularly, welding
and quality engineers can help
eliminate scrap and prevent
damage to their equipment.
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques
has made significant improvements
to its resistance welding monitors.
They can be used as go/no go
devices or as continuous monitors.
HFT manufactures two gauges,
one for manual checking and the
other for installing in two robot
cells. More articles from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Ltd: |
