Amada Miyachi America announces MM-400A
Desktop Resistance Weld Checker
Ideal for monitoring and managing key welding variables
in process development and production environments
Amada Miyachi America., a leading manufacturer of
resistance welding, laser welding, marking, cutting, and
micromachining equipment and systems, announces the
new MM-400A desktop resistance weld checker. With
the MM-400A, operators can easily monitor and manage
key welding variables that result in changes in weld heat,
including current, voltage, time, force and displacement.
The compact unit supports AC, DC inverter, AC inverter,
transistor and capacitive discharge resistance welding
technologies.
The MM-400A is ideal for use in process development,
where it can be used to correlate waveform and numeric
data with process results and provide detailed weld data
for process optimization and validation. In a production
environment, it reduces scrap by detecting drifts in the
weld process and alerting operators before process fail-
ure. The MM-400A also reduces the frequency of destruc-
tive testing and provides an independent way of
monitoring the welding power supply.
The MM-400A features a simple and intuitive
user interface and color touch panel display.
An envelope function allows the operator to set
upper and lower segmented or continuous limits
around the entire waveform. The unique seam
welding mode monitors AC current and voltage or
DC voltage for up to 5 minutes. The unit provides
ISO17657-compliant measurement for current
(when used with available ISO-compliant toroidal
coil) and offers Ethernet (TCP/IP), and RS-
232/485 communication. Pre-weld displacement
measures workpiece thickness prior to welding.
Multi-language support includes English, Spanish,
Japanese, Chinese, Korean, German, and French.
Available accessories include shunt resistor force
sensors, a built-in force sensor, displacement
sensors, and weld thru sensors that offer simulta-
neous measurement of applied force.
