Monrovia, California – Amada Weld Tech Inc., a manufacturer of welding, marking, cutting, sealing, and bonding technology, announces the release of the CD-A1000A, a 1,000W-s advanced capacitive discharge welder, ideal for battery tab welding, honeycomb tacking, and welding of conductive terminals. This next generation CD welder is the latest in a long line of CD welders manufactured by Amada Weld Tech.
The unit is automation-ready and features dual pulse output with control and monitoring of both pulses. The dual pulse function helps overcome surface inconsistencies –such as dirt and oil contamination - during the first pulse and makes consistent welds with the second. A built-in process monitor measures peak current for both pulses; this value is displayed after each weld. Upper and lower limits can be set for both pulses to ensure weld consistency. An option to inhibit Pulse 2 if Pulse 1 is out of limits prevents weld blow out. The process monitor helps operators assess performance with a color-coded bar graph that gives operators an instant weld history of in limit/out of limit percentages.
CD-A1000A offers up to four selectable pulse widths, increasing the range of welding applications and improving process optimization. Efficient power electronics provide high repetition rates. Sixty-three schedules can be stored locally when a variety of welding processes are planned at the same station.
