HF-2700A, HF-2500A - High Frequency Inverter Spot Welding Power Supply (formerly known as HF27, HF25)

The controls found on the HF-2700A, HF-2500A High Frequency Inverter Spot Welding Power Supply address the challenges of micro joining for a wide range of applications. Miniature welds are highly sensitive to small heat profile fluctuations in the resistance welding process. Overheating deforms and destroys parts, while underheating results in a weak and unacceptable bond. To achieve consistent, reliable welds of small to micro-miniature parts, heating needs to be precisely controlled. This necessitates superior control of the energy output. The HF-2700A, HF-2500A High Frequency Inverter Spot Welding Power Supply are also geared for automation featuring exceptional repetition rates, standard I/O connections and remote programming capability.
