A medical device manufacturer can pair the MM-410A with any resistance spot welder from Amada Miyachi, such as the DC1013-T, according to a spokesman for the company.
Featuring what the company describes as a simple and intuitive user interface and color touch panel display, the MM-410A provides information on current, voltage, weld time and force. The MM-410A supports a wide range of resistance welding technologies, including AC, DC inverter, AC inverter, transistor, and capacitive discharge.
Amada Miyachi America is touting the MM-410A’s ability to reduce process error.s. A manufacturer can use the MM-410A to correlate waveform and numeric data with process results, providing detailed weld data for process optimization and validation.
The company said: “If used continuously in a production environment, it reduces scrap by detecting drifts in the weld process and alerting operators before process failure. The MM-410A also reduces the frequency of destructive testing and provides an independent way of monitoring the welding power supply by detecting any drifts in welding power supply calibration.”
