Resistance welding

If you need resistance welding machinery and equipment, you've come to the right place. FPE's success has been founded on delivering cost-effective, conceptually-sound and innovative resistance welding products for more than 30 years. We are totally dedicated to providing advanced engineering solutions, resistance welding equipment and other joining machinery to the manufacturing industries.

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, the higher the heat intensity. This heat is controlled via time application and the level of current applied. Pressure is applied to forge the joint and consolidate the nugget to provide the weld strength. No extraneous materials such as rods, fluxes, inert gasses, oxygen, or acetylene are required.

At FPE, we don't only provide resistance welding machinery. Within our main premises, we develop, design, manufacture, test, project manage, document, and program many types of new machinery and automation equipment. We also provide comprehensive services and back-up facilities and, where required, a service contract. Being able to offer a wide range of skills in-house enables us to be flexible and responsive in delivering solutions. Design change and customer refinement frequently occur. With the disciplines all in-house, regular project meetings keep the team on course and ensure that the client's desired goal is realised.
