Heavy Duty Spot / Projection Welding 
The design philosophy within our machinery
provides common features across the range:
|
The Forward Precision Equipment range
of resistance spot, projection and seam welding machines provide laboratory
quality and production line dependability for low capital investment.
All the mechanical and electrical characteristics of the welding machines
have been carefully studied in relation to practical production requirements,
the result being a range of designs that are eminently suitable for
precision metal assembly. Production Engineers will notice that the
interchangeability of the top and bottom electrode systems simplifies
set-up procedures and gives overall versatility for handling difficult
welding configurations whilst still maintaining a consistent reliable
welding action. These features, coupled with the excellent work area,
visibility and ease of operation, make FPE welding machines ideally
suited for introduction into production line assembly.

What Is Resistance Welding?
|
| Resistance welding is the science
of joining two or more metal parts together in a localised area by the application
of heat and pressure. The heat is produced by the resistance of the material
to carry a high amperage current. The greater the path of resistance is,
the higher the heat intensity. This heat is controlled via time application
and level of current applied. The pressure is applied to forge the joint
and consolidate the nugget to provide the weld streangth. No extraneous
materials such as rods, fluxes, inert gasses, oxygen, or acetylene are required. |
