Low force servo weld head
MIYACHI Europe, a supplier of
resistance welding, laser welding, hot-
bar and laser marking products, has
unveiled its new low force MFP-25 servo
weld head with linear drive, for use in
the AWS3 active welding system.
The MFP-25 is the latest addition to
the modular weld head series, which
was designed to give customers a wide
range of options and variations, while
emphasising quality, efficiency and
serviceability.
It is suited to such applications
as automotive sensors and airbags,
lighting, and medical.
The MFP-25 features a compact
and robust design for optimal system
integration and a low force range with
high precision and high speed. The
weld head is servo-motor driven for very
short cycle times and uses a closed
loop force control. The MFP-25’s linear
drive system features fast and dynamic
response.
Programmable electrode speed, force
and position make the head flexible
and easy to use. The MFP offers full
AWS3 functionality for high-end process
control.
The AWS3 is an integrated solution
providing process control, monitoring
and quality analysis all in one.
It is suitable for high volume resistance
welding in the automotive, electronics,
battery and aerospace industries in
particular.
Hardware updates have improved
process control and adaptive duty
cycle, adaptive electrode closing time,
adaptive squeeze time and adaptive
weld force.
New developments include a
user-friendly touchscreen with a
larger panel, more interfaces than
before, new data storage options and
twice the screen resolution to allow
operators an improved view of the
details.
Along with the low force MFP-25
servo head with linear drive, the AWS3
also incorporates the latest range of
weld head and weld pincers.
