Amada Weld Tech’s CD-A1000A capacitive discharge welder features dual-pulse output

Amada Weld Tech Inc. has released the CD-A1000A, a 1,000-Ws capacitive discharge welder for battery tab welding, honeycomb tacking, and welding of conductive terminals.

The unit is automation-ready and features dual-pulse output with control and monitoring of both pulses. The dual-pulse function helps overcome surface inconsistencies such as dirt and oil contamination during the first pulse and makes consistent welds with the second.

A built-in process monitor measures peak current for both pulses and displays the value after each weld. Upper and lower limits can be set for both pulses to help ensure weld consistency. An option to inhibit Pulse 2 if Pulse 1 is out of limits prevents weld blowout. The process monitor helps operators assess performance with a color-coded bar graph that provides an instant weld history of in-limit/out-of-limit percentages.
