Resistance Welding Overview
Resistance welding is a process in which welding is accomplished by the resistive heat generated when an electric current is passed through a metal part. The technique originated in the late 19th century and was first introduced by Elihu Thomson in 1885.
The basic principle of resistance welding is that when an electric current is passed through a metal joint under pressure, resistance generates heat, causing the metal to melt and form a strong joint. Due to its high efficiency, reliability and ease of automation, resistance welding is widely used in various industrial fields.
Welding machine components
Tube insert resistance welding machines consist of several key components, each of which plays an important role in the welding process. Understanding these components helps to better operate and maintain the machine.
1. Welding electrodes
The welding electrode is one of the core components of the tube insertion resistance welding machine. Electrodes are usually made of highly conductive and heat-resistant materials, such as copper alloys. Their main function is to conduct current through the workpiece, generating heat at the point of contact between the electrode and the workpiece to form a weld.
2. Electrode arms and electrode tips
The electrode arm and electrode head are responsible for holding the welding electrode in place and applying the necessary pressure. The electrode arm is usually mechanically or hydraulically actuated and can precisely control the pressure on the electrode to ensure a quality weld.
3. Current transformers
A current transformer adjusts the voltage and current of the input power source to a level suitable for welding. It converts high voltage and low current to low voltage and high current to provide enough energy for welding.
4. Control systems
The control system is the "brain" of the welding machine, which is responsible for monitoring and regulating the welding parameters, including current strength, energizing time and electrode pressure. Modern control systems are usually computerized, capable of storing and recalling preset welding programs to meet different welding needs.
5. Cooling system
Due to the large amount of heat generated during the welding process, a cooling system is essential. It usually consists of a water or air cooling system to cool the welding electrodes and other critical components to prevent overheating damage.
6. Workpiece fixtures
Workpiece fixtures are used to hold the tube to be welded and ensure that the workpiece does not move during the welding process. The design and material of the fixture have a significant impact on the quality of the weld and should be customized to the specific shape and size of the workpiece.
7.Operator interface
The operator interface usually consists of buttons, a touch screen or a control panel for the operator to set and adjust welding parameters. Modern welding machines are user-friendly and intuitive and are often equipped with digital displays and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for precise control and quick start-up.
