Hand-held unit provides complete resistance welding process control

Dengensha America’s new hand-held Weldscope WS-100 controls 15 monitoring functions and three selectable detection ranges. Users can monitor, measure, save, and print out welding current, cycle time, and peak current from numerous types of welding machines, including AC and DC, single- and three-phase, capacitor discharge, AC seam, pulsation AC/DC, and inverter.

The unit generates upper and lower limit error signals and “good” and “no good” output signals, and it detects secondary cable wear. It also incorporates a waveform display, a zoom function, torodial coil, fluorescent display, multiple output options, and a lithium backup battery.

The control allows users to save the last 800 welds and then print them by way of direct cable or Bluetooth® to a PC.
