SMART head joining solutions are delivering process control benefits to prestigious medical and automotive manufacturing companies.

Key to this 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.
