320 Series Low Force Electronic Weld Head
The Series 320 electronic resistance spot welding heads are high precision, low force heads designed specifically for applications requiring precise position and force control. This versatile series meets the process demands of microelectronics manufacturing, yet is robust enough to endure industrial requirements and environments.
Key features Low Force Electronic Weld Head - Series 320
- Inline and offset opposed electrode configurations for maximum flexibility
- Exceptionally accurate force and position parameters provide outstanding process control and measurement
- Weld-to-displacement feature stops the weld precisely during collapse
- Initial part detection feature detects missing or extra parts
- Displacement limits facilitate monitoring of both initial and final part thickness
- Optional two level footswitch or new linear motion footswitch
- User friendly I/O for easy integration with PLC
- Four programmable relay outputs facilitate process control
