Resistance Welding Diagnostics In A Suitcase
The Portable WeldView® Monitor is designed to monitor any resistance welding application: 50/60 Hz; AC/DC single and three phase; capacitive discharge; inverter power supply; spot, seam, projection, flash/butt welders. NIST-traceable electronics calibration is easily performed with a voltmeter. Current calibration requires no hardware adjustment.
BENEFITS
Benchmark the electrical and mechanical performance of every welding machine.
Verify the set-up and performance of every welding job.
Instantly measure the consistency of every weld without performing destructive tests that waste material and slow down production.
Determine the optimum production heat and time settings without performing multiple destructive tests.
Recognize when a shift in the welding process has occurred that requires corrective action.
Rapidly pinpoint the source of a process shift so that the problem can be corrected without incurring unnecessary downtime.
FEATURES
Monitors half-cycle by half-cycle secondary current and voltage, electrode force, work-piece thickness and dis-placement, conductance, power and conduction angle.
Upper and lower limits can be established easily for every half-cycle of each monitored parameter.
Notification of out-of-limits condition is made via the graphic display and via a fault signal output.
Weld data with upper and lower limits are displayed immediately after each weld.
Weld data are stored digitally in the data archive for SPC purposes or future proof of weld quality. Data can be converted for use in third party spreadsheet applications.
Acquisition time selectable from 10 microseconds to 10 minutes. Current waveform for machine diagnostics.
SPECIFICATIONS
Half-cycle by half-cycle RMS current with accuracy of +/-1% of the reading (above 500A).
Current range: 100A-100KA (guaranteed); 50A-300KA (typical).
Current Waveform, Min/Max Current, Adjustable RMS Current Window, Automatic Range Scaling.
Half-cycle by half-cycle RMS and Real voltage, -300VDC to +300VDC (configurable).
Half-cycle by half-cycle Thermal Expansion/Set-down, Force, Current Voltage, Conductance and Power.
Half-cycle by half-cycle conduction angle.
Weld Time Range: 0.2s/10us time base (Cap Discharge); 200 Half-Cycles (Spot); 64000 Half-Cycles (Seam).
Teach functions for setting upper and lower limits for all monitored parameters.
Monitors Single/Three Phase 50/60Hz AC/DC; Inverter; Capacitive Discharge.
Integrated Data Archive stores thousands of monitor setups, hundreds of thousands of welds; waveforms.
Simple NIST traceable electronics calibration with NIST traceable voltmeter.
Size: 7.5′ high X 20′ wide X 15.7′ deep; weight: 26 pounds; power: 115/230VAC 50/60Hz.
