Clamping force tester checks spot welds in-process
A clamping force tester can be integrated with electrode cap machining and weld current checking to monitor spot welding equipment performance and maintenance.
It measures both the small forces during mould movement and large forces during mould closure.
The transmitter is easily mounted with just one M6 screw.
The built-in electronics have two signal outputs providing parallel signals representing the force during tool movement and the closing force.
This allows simple integration into the moulding machine's control system.
Both measuring ranges and other functions, such as signal inversion and signal offset, can be preset with the software supplied.
Combining the sensor and electronics in one package makes the assembly extremely robust and provides it with maximum protection under the tough conditions of routine production.
