Projection welding is a resistance welding process. Projections are made on any one of the components before welding. The weld area and location is defined before welding in projection welding unlike in spot welding where weld area depends on the shape of the electrodes. After passing the weld current for specific time, the projection collapses under the electrode pressure and the parts are welded together.
The advantages of projection welding are that multiple projections can be welded in one shot, flat electrodes are required for welding, minimum dents and marks after welding etc.
Artech manufactures Capacitor discharge projection welding machines for applications in manufacturing of Hollow metal doors, clean rooms, control panels and cabinets.
1. Large scale reduction in power (Kva) demand as compared to conventional resistance welding machines.
2. No water-cooling required for electrodes.
3. It’s a three-phase machine and it can work on Generator set.
4. Negligible blackening and distortion at weld joint.
5. No effect of voltage fluctuation on weld quality.
6. Welding near heat sensitive parts is possible.
7. Welding of similar and dissimilar metals possible.
8. Installation and operating cost of the machine is very very less. The more you weld, the more you save.
