Weld Checker | Measurement and Quality Control System for Resistance Welding

Weld Checker | Measurement and Quality Control System for Resistance Welding
Key Takeaways
• Measures, evaluates, and controls current, voltage, weld time, force, and displacement in one unit
• Compliant with ISO 17657 and supports traceable data recording
• Envelope function enables detailed time-axis waveform analysis
• Long-duration models support up to 10 seconds of continuous AC/DC measurement
________________________________________
The Weld Checker visualizes, evaluates, and controls resistance welding quality on production lines. It helps prevent defective welds from escaping and supports stable welding quality.

🔷 Measurement Parameter Range
Measures key parameters affecting weld quality, including current, voltage, weld time, force, and workpiece displacement. Data is displayed numerically and as waveforms with date and time stamps, supporting detailed defect analysis and quality control.

🔷 All-in-One Functional Integration
A stationary unit integrating measurement, display, and pass/fail judgment. Compatible with single-phase AC, inverter DC/AC, transistor, and capacitor welding systems. Touch-panel operation allows simultaneous display of up to four waveforms or ten parameters.

🔷 Measurement Standards and Accuracy
In addition to conventional RMS calculations, the system supports calculation modes compliant with ISO 17657 for resistance welding current measurement, meeting international quality requirements.

🔷 Envelope Function and Advanced Analysis
Sets acceptable waveform ranges and compares them with actual waveforms during energization, enabling detailed time-based analysis. Supports comparison of two waveforms at up to three points.

🔷 Data Recording and External Communication
Supports data storage to internal memory or USB. Equipped with RS-232C, RS-485, and Ethernet for external system integration. Built-in printer allows direct printing of measured values and waveforms.

🔷 Judgment Functions and In-Process Control
Supports force and displacement sensors mounted on welding heads for real-time measurement during production. Equipped with three energization stop outputs for precise control. External sensor inputs (±10V, 4–20mA) are also supported.

🔷 Long-Duration Continuous Measurement
Supported models enable continuous current and voltage measurement for up to 10 seconds in both AC and DC applications.

📘 Summary
The Weld Checker is an integrated resistance welding quality control solution that combines measurement, judgment, and control to support quality management on production lines.
