HF2 High Frequency Inverter Spot Welding Power Supply
The HF2 High Frequency Inverter Spot Welding Power Supply recisely controls and monitors electrical AND mechanical weld parameters. 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.
