Electronic Circuits used in Resistance Welding System

Electronic Circuits used in Resistance Welding System There are many electronic control circuits used in the resistance welding process, they are as follows : The line contactor : The line contactor is basically an electronic switch. The line contactor connects and disconnects the primary winding of the welding transformer across the ac mains supply. The … Read more

Basic AC Resistance Welding System

Basic AC Resistance Welding System Description : The “line contactor” is basically a controlled switch which connects the ac mains voltage across the primary winding of the “welding transformer” only during the welding interval. It otherwise disconnects the mains from the primary. The “welding transformer” is a step down transformer which supplies a reduced (steps … Read more

Advantages and Disadvantages of Resistance Welding

Advantages and Disadvantages of Resistance Welding Advantages of Resistance Welding : The resistance welding has following advantages over the conventional welding : The welding time is extremely short, a few millisecond to a few seconds. Due to the use of controlled devices like thyristors precise heat control is possible to achieve. Quality of welding is improved to … Read more

Principle of Resistance Welding

Principle of Resistance Welding Figure shows the basic arrangement for the resistance welding. The two metal sheets to be welded are clamped tightly together with external pressure, between the two electrodes. The welding current flows through these electrodes and through the metal pieces to be welded. Due to the flow of welding current through the … Read more
