With an ever-increasing emphasis on accountability, AMADA WELD TECH’s WM-100A is the most advanced resistance welding monitoring system available from any manufacturer. Built in the USA, the WM-100A offers more of the information you need for resistance welding process development, production monitoring and data to support your ISO, and GMP and TQM requirements. Not only will it monitor what happens during the weld, but also before it is triggered, giving you a true 360-degree view of your welding process.

AMADA WELD TECH’s AX5000 Glovebox is a rugged, tight, Windows^® controlled atmospheric enclosure. It provides a safe, easy-to-access, easy-to-use system optimized for hermetic sealing applications as seen in electronic component packaging manufacturing.

Built in the USA, constructed of Type 304 internally polished stainless steel, the AX5000’s sturdy tubular frame provides solid support for automation and motion requirements. The atmospheric enclosure features an easily-removed safety glass window equipped with glove ports that have built-in armrests and butyl gloves. The AX5000 conforms to NASA-STD-3000 ergonomic standards, allowing comfortable use for a broad range of body types.

• Fully computerized operation
• Historical and real time graphical display
• Independent vacuum pumping systems on all ovens and antechambers
• Integrated moisture, oxygen, argon, and helium monitoring
• Configurable modular design

The unit offers consistent welding output for repeatable process results, with ultrafast rise time for conductive material welding. Built in the USA, featuring fully controllable dual pulse output, the CD-A1000A provides pulse shaping with 4 discrete pulse lengths, programmable squeeze and hold times and adjustable pulse separation. Furthermore, the units offer the ability to set limits around a schedule to prevent bad welds and a built-in peak current indicator which indicates the last weld peak current.

The IPB-5000B-MU inverter spot welder delivers superior welding control for a wide range of microjoining applications. When paired with the ITB-780A6 transformer this unit is capable of a maximum output of 6000 Amps, making it ideal for most resistive and conductive welding applications. It operates in constant current, voltage or power feedback modes and is also capable of welding in a combo mode (current and voltage) to address even the most challenging application or process conditions.

Key Features

• Control Modes – Optimum control modes for obtaining ideal weld quality and consistency can be chosen from; constant current control, constant voltage control, combination of constant current and constant voltage control, and constant power control.

• GOOD/NO GOOD determination – The comparator feature allows to set upper and lower limits around the measured value of up to four parameters; which are current, voltage, power and resistance. When those values reach out of the limits, an error signal or a caution signal alarms.

• Diplacement Measurement – Measures how much an electrode moves down because of material collapse during weld. Weld to displacement – stops welding when displacement value reaches the set value. Requires displacement sensor sold separately.

• Envelope – The envelope feature allows dynamic limits to be set around a monitored waveform to ensure the same resistance change occurs at the same rate for every weld.
