In today’s highly competitive environment, the choice of the right equipment is now even more important.
Considerations as to working smarter to save time, improve productivity and add to the bottom line, without compromising on workplace safety, are now par for the course, according to Car-O-Liner's Julie Thomas.
Developed on the principle of 'no need to set, just weld', the Car-O-Liner CTR 12000 Medium Frequency Inverter Spot Welder sets a high bar for automatic welding. As soon as the welding process starts and the electrode holder moves towards an object, the CTR 12000 records the total thickness of the metal plate, in a matter of a few milliseconds.
When current starts to flow, the welder recognises material as high-strength or maximum-strength steels, and coated or laminated steel panels. The welding process is then based on this recognition, without the operator having to enter any parameters beforehand.
The Pulse-Sonar System automatically recognises total sheet thickness, while the Virtual Generator recognises material type.
Features include automatic definition of weld nugget diameter via total energy input, transformer C-spot welding using 10 kHz technology and optional welding data documentation, using WinSpotQS Software.
The latter feature allows the welder to display the welding parameter for each weld joint and evaluate each according to the needs of specific vehicles. After completion of each welding task, the parameters and welding results are recorded on the USB stick.
CTR 12000 is able to take high input currents of up to 12,000 A, while providing high quality performance "spot by spot".
Other features include "Virtual Machine" programmable intelligence — an innovative control technology with integrated quality assurance management designed to monitor the joint process from end to end.
Quality assurance management includes a database that contains all the required parameters, classified by material type and thickness. A USB port allows easy upgradeability.
Optional accessories include a multifunction push spot welding gun/spotter, with pulling hammer — for use in dent repairs, pulling, push-spotting and shrinking.
