Metal joining processes monitored on
site
The new welding and fastening monitor from Kistler Instruments is an easy to use, battery powered measuring system for analysing joining methods such as spot welding, clinching and riveting on site
Combined with the Type 9831A welding force calibration sensor, the new Type 5825A2 instrument allows on-site monitoring, analysis and optimisation of metal joining equipment in the production environment The analyser measures and records the force-vs-time and force-vs-distance curve for post-cycle evaluation directly on the production machine

A miniature piezoresistive absolute pressure sensor, Type 4005A, from Kistler uses Direct Chip Exposure technology to give superb linearity, minimal hysteresis and an extremely high natural frequency
When monitoring welding, the analyser plots electrode force against time, in combination with the welding current switching signal, allowing the relevant process variables to be determined for each welding cycle for analysis and optimisation of the process.
In fastening mode, suitable inserts in the welding force calibration transmitter enable the instrument to record and analyse the clinching or riveting force curve.
In addition, in voltmeter mode, the analyser operates as a digital voltmeter with an input range of +/- 5 V to display the output of a calibration transmitter.
The new welding and fastening monitor is a portable and effective method of:.
* In situ performance monitoring of welding clinching and riveting machines.
* Setting up production machines for new operations.
* Calibrating spot welding and joining equipment.
* Optimising welding and joining cycle times.
