DURABLE STAINLESS STEEL

The WLP Weld Displacement Transducer is a rugged, precise linear displacement transducer. This Linerar Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) is constructed of stainless steel for use in the harsh resisance welding environment. This device is easily mounted to a variety or ranges and measures weld tooling position throughout the welding process. Select the correct range to adapt it to various applications from micro-joining to automotive spot welding, to heavy-duty projection welding.

For spot welding applications, the WLP Weld Displacement Transducer measures initial positionand final “set-down” to give a good indication of the quallity of the formed nugget. For projection welding applications, it can detect missing or upside-down nuts then detect final “set-down” to give a strong correlationto final weld quality. The WLP accurately measures the same parameters in micro-joining applications, cross-wire welding and wire-to-plate welding.

Interfaced with a variety of digital electronic instrumentation, the WLP produces a simple relay contact closure to halt a misweld. Similarly, relay limits can be set for a range of acceptable “set-down” data that meets your quality standards. Statistical data can be downloaded through an RS485 interface to track tool wear and other weld data.
