MacGregor Welding will be at Productronica (B3.519) in Munich this year promoting the equipment and services the SMART range offers.

According to the company, SMART head joining solutions are delivering significant process control benefits to a number of world renowned medical and automotive manufacturing companies.  

Key to this success has been the flexible connectivity offered by the system platform, enabling customers to readily integrate process control and measurement at the welding end, directly into their central data collection and quality control systems.

Ethernet based data collection, parametric setting and remote access/control of the welding process is a natural progression in reducing human intervention and increasing manufacturing process stability.  With a variety of built in data collection and analysis functions, the SMART series provides a convenient functional route map for manufacturers wishing to stage gate advanced process control into their existing installations.

Applications for these micro welding technologies include aerospace, automotive, medical, battery and lighting sectors manufacturing volume precision components such as sensors, micro-electronic assemblies, solar cells and LED arrays.
