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.

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
