Resistance Welders
Used for a wide range of automotive, aerospace and industrial applications, resistance welders join metals by applying pressure and passing current through the metal area being joined for a specified length of time. This is extremely cost effective because no other materials are needed to create the bond. Spot, seam, projection, flash and upset welding are separate resistance welding processes that use different types and shapes of weld electrodes to apply the pressure and conduct the current. The electrodes are cooled by water flowing through them and the other conductive tooling of the resistance welding machine.

Achieve Consistent Welding Output, Repeatable Processes and Precision Welds
TRUMPF’s new arc-welding robot that programs its own weld path is now available in North America. The smart sensor enables the robot to determine weld spots automatically, and the technology helps tackle the shortage of skilled workers.
It’s a strategy that pays off for customers. Bluco’s booth will feature stories of customers who’ve shaved 50% off production time, reduced overall costs by 10%, achieved 7x greater accuracy, and finished parts a month faster.
