Weld Monitor : History

The Weld Monitor Unit was designed and developed after the realisation that effective independent weld monitoring was generally beyond the economic grasp and viability of the vast majority of welding applications and users.  

In particular, those applications using relatively low cost capacitor discharge equipment were faced with monitoring solutions that could cost as much if not more than the welding equipment itself !  

Given that micro welding applications generally produce things, the need for a realistic quality check on each and every weld appeared to be an obvious requirement in a Quality Controlled Environment and yet, in the majority of cases, this is missing.

With digital acquisition and display monitors (Internal & External) becoming the industry norm, it was clear that an industry trend was being set that in many cases, over complicated what is a relatively straightforward problem.  

In doing so, this trend has pushed general monitoring costs up and has led to a plethora of “monitoring features” that more often than not, are simply not used or practical.

The Weld Monitor Unit is therefore a KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) solution amid the array of weld monitoring products.

• N.B. It is important to know and realise that micro-welding applications can vary enormously in terms of process sensitivity and viability to monitoring.  

• In the first instance, try to ensure your process is defined, recorded and stable.  If it isn’t, a weld monitor will simply cost you money and annoy you !
