Resistance welding
What is resistance welding?
How can two metals be joined together?
The word "resistance" in "resistance welding" means to resist a certain forward movement.
resistance. It is associated with heating, as in the case of frictional heat when applying a brake.
As can be seen in the model of the resistance welder (see following figure), an electric current is applied,
while pressure is applied. When the electric current tries to travel in a metal, the resistance of the metal itself and the
the resistance of the metal itself and the resistance at the joint. In particular at the
heat is generated at the junction between two metals in particular due to the higher resistance, so that
the two metals are melted and joined together. This method of joining two metals
with the help of resistance heat is called resistance welding.
Model of resistance welding
Temperature distribution during resistance welding
Basic configuration of a resistance welder
In resistance welding, the objects to be welded are placed between the welding electrodes and heated and pressed together with an electric current.
- The welding power supply controls the strength, time and waveform of the electric current.
- The welding transformer converts the absorbed current into a larger current with a lower voltage.
- The welding head controls the pressure that is applied.
- The welding electrode touches the object to be welded, exerts pressure and transmits the electric current.
In addition to the devices mentioned above, there are various monitors that measure the electric current or the pressure exerted.
Inverter welding power supply and control
This model is a high-efficiency welding power supply that uses an inverter. It responds to the changes during
welding in real time by providing fast feedback. The highly stabilised welding current generated by the power source is optimal for the
resistance welding of precision electronic parts.

Multi-Transformer System
- Multi-control mode (constant current, voltage, power)
- Welding neck control function
- Long-term welding (maximum 3 seconds)
- Graphical display of the welding waveform on large LCD display
- Multiple monitoring function
- Welding waveform memory function
Up to 4 changeover switches with transformer can be connected to one controller and thus up to 4 welding processes can be controlled simultaneously.
Welding head and electrode
The way in which the electrode contacts the object to be welded (how the current is introduced) depends on the shape or structure of the object.
shape or structure of the object. In addition, the shape and material of the electrode and the pressure applied are also important factors in
resistance welding.
