The quality of a spot weld depends on the force applied by the
electrodes together with the value of the welding current. For control
programs, measuring the force applied by the electrodes is extremely
important for maintaining constant production conditions. This is why
ANDILOG has developed an instrument for measuring the closing force on
welding heads, which can be used either for setting up or for
periodical maintenance.
The tips are exchangeable for measuring the force applied by different
forms of electrodes; the lowest closing dimension is 3 mm. Different
models are available for measuring 0-5 KN to 0-15 KN.
The new tool has all the ruggedness, quality and accuracy of the other
tools in the CENTOR family, specially designed for taking “nomad”
measurements in production shops.
