Turnkey solutions for spot resistance welding machines
Thyristor resistance welding power and time controller
for spot welding machines
The device was developed because we have observed the need for inexpensive, easy to use and reliable system to supply the welding transformers of spot resistance welding machines. We offer a complete solution in a single housing containing a microprocessor controller and a power circuit with double thyristor module and a heat sink. The device is ideal for upgrading the electrical power circuit of single-phase spot resistance welding machines.
The presented device is the result of experience acquired during several decades of work on electronic circuits for resistance welders.
Characteristics of the device:
- fast installation and simple operation,
- intuitive settings of resistance welding power and time,
- resistance welding power slope (reduces arcing),
- reliable microprocessor control system,
- double thyristor module from 160A to 500A (depending on order),
- LED showing actual welding power and time,
- external input signal starting welding cycle,
- output signal indicating the end of welding,
- thyristor damage detection,
- thyristor overheating detection,
- digital system for elimination of the DC component,
- galvanic separated inputs and output for protection against damage.
Presented controller has been mounted in all spot resistance welders produced by one of the leading manufacturers of welding machines in Poland.
