Resistance Welding Tech Cell

Welcome to the Resistance Welding Tech Cell. Here you will find information on resistance welding power sources and systems using in high-volume welding operations.

Combating internal condensation in your resistance welding machine

Resistance welding transformers generate a lot of heat, which is why most of them are designed to be water-cooled. But when condensation forms internally as a result of an improperly set chiller temperature, a number of catastrophic issues can arise. To avoid this, it's best to understand what causes internal condensation and how you can prevent it.

Don't forget the fixturing

Don't forget a component of the system sometimes can dictate whether a robotic welding integration succeeds or fails: the fixturing.

Welding fasteners: Spot or projection?

Both spot and projection weld fasteners have their place. Choosing which process to use—spot or projection welding—depends, like anything else, on the application

Resistance-weld more for less

Costs associated with poor resistance weld quality often can be traced back to faulty electrode usage. With today's high cost of copper—to say nothing of the extra labor and lost production time—wearing out electrodes prematurely has become more expensive than ever.

Respecting your resistance welder

Resistance welding results are only as good as the machine that is completing the process. By understanding how to properly maintain your resistance welding machine, you will be able to prevent unnecessary problems that tend to plague the unit's critical areas.
