The INV-1 "BLUE GOOSE" Bench Type Spot Welders

Options | Specs | Drawing

Bench Type - Invertor or AC Spot/Projection Welder
This inverter welding head is so revolutionary we had to give it a special name. Atop the low inertia ram you'll find a patented accelerator that gives the "Blue Goose" the best follow-up action in the welding industry. This makes it an ideal machine for cross-wire welding, and other spot and projection welding applications. It lays down low impact, high-speed welds with exceptional repeatability andBlue Goosevirtually no deflection.

Construction:

  • Robust steel frame with no measurable deflection, even at full operating force.
  • Designed for the special requirements of inverter welding.
  • Low-inertia ram mounted on upper frame with zero clearance re circulating ball beraring ensures consistently smooth and precise movement throughout the welding cycle.
  • Easy interconnection with AC or DC inverter transformers and weld controls.
  • Patent pending cylinder accelerator to assure fast weld follow up.

Standard Features:

  • Adjustable air regulator with gauge.
  • Single stage foot switch initiation (guarded type).
  • 4-way solenoid air valve and exhaust muffler.
  • Non-lubricated air system - environmentally friendly.
  • Water cooler 1” (25mm) diameter electrode holders with #2 MT.
  • 7.5 KVA air cooled transformer.
  • 2” or 3 1/4” air cylinder (specify)

Options:

  • Maple “Butcher Block” Table 30 x 48” with all components mounted and interconnected.
  • Manual Valve with safety interlocks for lowering the ram allowing electrode cleaning and alignment checks.
  • Dual Palm Buttons or Dual Wand-Type initiation switches with non-repeat, non tie-down.
  • Three Phase MFDC Inverter power supplies available up to 85KVA producing approximately 20,000 maximum secondary AMPS.
  • AC Transformers, 10KVA producing up to 20,000 AMPS.
