Weld Monitor Applications - Overview

Designed to monitor the output from Capacitor Discharge welders, Linear DC Welders, HFDC, Hybrid Welders and Micro Arc Spot welders with or without Polarity Reversal functions, the Weld Monitoring Unit delivers effective quality weld monitoring to the many applications that simply cannot afford or justify the expense of conventional digital capture based solutions.

Regardless of the type and/or sophistication of any welding power supply, the need for real time Quality Checking in a manufacturing process is a highly desirable modern day requirement to give assurance that a process is under control.

External Weld Monitors INDEPENDENTLY check that all is well with a Power Supply, Weld Head, Operator and Material process combination, essentially auditing each and every weld to declare whether or not it was created within a pre-defined process window.  Those welds that fall within the process window are essentially verified, while those outside of the window can be rejected.

• Independent Weld Monitoring significantly increases Quality and decreases product rejects and faults.

Manual & Automatic Applications

The Weld Monitor is designed to operate in either manual or automatic applications.

In manual applications, the user simply sets the controls to suit the programmed weld schedule.  If you change the schedule, you just change the settings to the pre-determined settings that suit the schedule.  Single or double pulse welding, with or without polarity reversal is accommodated.

In automatic applications, the monitor can be used in the same way as for a manual application.  Alternatively, the automatic equipment can be configured to measure and react to the optional isolated Peak Energy Output signal that is timed and held in conjunction with the PLC interfacing signals.  In this way, the automatic system designer is free to determine their own software based process limits.
