Join the Resistance
For shops looking to invest in new resistance welding technology, here are a few of the latest advances that can help them increase their operating capacity, make their employees safer, and improve their profitability.
SureWex Acquires Welding Business and PPE Brands from KCP
Along with Jackson Safety and Wilson, this includes welding helmets, accessories, PAPRs, barriers, and face-head-hearing protection.
Lincoln Electric Appoints New Executives
Gabe Bruno is now executive vice president of finance and Geoff Allman is senior vice president of strategy and business development.
Moran Iron Works Receives Award
They receive HUBZone certification from the Small Business Adminstration.
Pinch-Point Safety System for Resistance Welding
The Unitrol SOFT TOUCH Pinch-Point Safety System from Rockford Systems is the first and only fully passive safeguarding system that prevents a spot welder from applying full force if it detects fingers in the machine’s point-of-operation area.
Desktop Resistance Weld Checker
Ideal for monitoring and managing key welding variables in process development and production environments, the compact MM-400A desktop resistance weld checker from Amada Miyachi America supports AC, DC inverter, AC inverter, transistor and capacitive discharge resistance welding technologies.
Robot Dressed for Spot Welding
The fully integrated Spot Welding Function Package on the IRB 6700 robot from ABB Robotics features an electric servo gun with parallel arm movements managed by an IRC5 robot controller to guarantee process quality in a wide range of spot weld applications.
Fiber Laser Windows Reduce Focus Shift and Beam Deterioration
Ideally suited as debris shields for laser welding and cutting, Sapphire Fiber Cover Glass Windows from Laser Research Optics can withstand steel splatter, flash, and debris better than fused silica.
3D Simulation and Offline Programming for Laser Welding Systems
FASTSUITE Edition 2 software from CENIT creates virtual cells for TRUMPF, Amada and other automated laser welding systems for faster creation of fixtures for prototypes, shorter cycle times for production parts and less overall programming time.
A New Approach to Fiber Laser Welding
CleanWeld technology from Coherent delivers up to 80 percent spatter reduction with minimal cracking and porosity in diverse applications, including zero-gap welding of galvanized steel, automobile powertrain component welding, and aluminum and copper welding for electric car batteries.
Robotic Laser Welding and Cutting Meets Demands for High Accuracy
Pre-engineered with offline programming capabilities and tools for automatic TCP calibration, work objects and positioner base frames that match various part sizes, geometries and production volumes, the IRB 2400 robot from ABB Robotics laser welds and laser cuts using world-class motion control and path performance.
Laser Welding Cell Forgives Imperfections
Getting started with laser welding is now easier than ever before thanks to tolerant laser welding with FusionLine technology from TRUMPF that allows for the welding of components with gaps for even simpler operation.
