Key Features

  1. Fast Welding Current Rise
    The transistor-based power supply enables a rapid rise in welding current, completing the welding process quickly with minimal thermal impact. This feature is ideal for ultra-precise welding tasks such as fine wires, button cell connections, small relay contacts, and metal foils.

  2. Three Control Modes
    The machine offers three flexible control modes:

    • Constant Current Control

    • Constant Voltage Control

    • Combination of Constant Current and Voltage Control
      These modes provide flexibility for different welding needs, ensuring precise and reliable results.

  3. Large LCD Display
    The machine is equipped with a large liquid crystal display that shows the welding current, power, and electrode voltage, allowing operators to easily monitor and adjust the welding parameters.

  4. Built-in Detection Function
    Before power is applied, the machine can verify the presence and condition of the workpiece, ensuring only suitable materials are welded.


Applications

  1. Battery Industry

    • Battery caps, nickel strips, battery tabs, and other components are welded in the production of NiMH, NiCd, and Li-ion batteries.

  2. Automotive and Motorcycle Components

    • Suitable for welding terminal ends, wire harnesses, magnet wires, and precision wiring in electric vehicles and motorcycles.

  3. Electronics and Electrical Components

    • Welding silver contacts, lead wires, gold-plated surfaces, and various electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and plugs.


How to Use It

  1. Setting Up the Machine

    • Begin by configuring the appropriate welding parameters, such as current, voltage, and control mode (constant current, voltage, or a combination).

    • Place the workpiece between the welding electrodes and align it properly.

  2. Initiating the Welding Process

    • Press the Start button or footswitch to initiate the welding process. The machine will automatically monitor and adjust welding parameters in real time for consistency.

  3. Post-Welding Inspection

    • After welding, the built-in detection system automatically checks the quality of the weld. If the weld is unsuccessful, the system will alert the operator and provide feedback.


Automated Process Flow

  1. Preparation

    • Load the cylindrical battery components (e.g., nickel strips, tabs) into the machine. Set the welding parameters based on material and thickness.

  2. Welding

    • The machine initiates the welding process using precise control over current and voltage, ensuring high-quality welds.

  3. Verification

    • After welding, the system checks the quality of the weld. If there are any issues, the machine will stop and notify the operator.

  4. Completion

    • The machine finishes the welding process and ejects the completed product for further processing or packaging.


Benefits

  1. Precision and Speed
    The fast rise in welding current ensures precise welding with minimal thermal impact, making it ideal for fine welding tasks.

  2. Flexibility
    The three control modes provide flexibility for different welding applications, ensuring consistent and reliable results across various tasks.

  3. No Spatter and Low Heat Impact
    The machine guarantees clean, spatter-free welding, especially when working with sensitive components like battery terminals.

  4. Real-Time Monitoring
    The large LCD display offers real-time visibility into welding current, power, and electrode voltage, helping operators ensure optimal performance.

  5. Built-in Quality Control
    The integrated detection system automatically checks the weld quality, reducing the risk of defects and ensuring consistent production.


Important Considerations

  1. Maintenance
    Regular maintenance is necessary to keep the machine running efficiently. This includes cleaning the welding electrodes and ensuring all components are calibrated.

  2. Power Supply Requirements
    The machine requires a stable power supply (AC 220V/50HZ) to perform its duties efficiently. Ensure the power source can handle the 8000A welding current.

  3. Compatibility
    This machine is designed for cylindrical battery welding (e.g., 18650, 21700) and specific metal tab materials like nickel.

  4. Safety
    Always adhere to safety protocols, including using protective gear and ensuring proper ventilation, when operating the machine.


Conclusion

The cylindrical battery transistor gantry spot welder is an essential tool for high-precision welding in battery production and beyond. Its speed, flexibility, and consistent performance make it ideal for a wide range of applications, from battery terminals to automotive and electronic components. With real-time monitoring, built-in quality control, and various control modes, it is a reliable choice for manufacturers looking to improve production efficiency and product quality.
