New York-based WeldComputer Corporation has announced its latest US patent for new technology that aims to benefit resistance welding operations around the world. This technology has allowed the company to introduce a new process that aims to provide a practical method for instrumenting new and existing welding guns to obtain real-time information needed to assess and control the quality of each weld as it is being formed.
The new patent covers an innovative method for formulating a composite measurement of the actuator mechanism motion and apparatus deflection linkages together, which aims to provide a more accurate measurement than either could provide alone. “As demand for detecting bad welds and more importantly preventing them from occurring to begin with continues to increase, deployment of this new technology will play a pivotal role in improving weld quality,” said Robert Cohen, Chief Executive Officer at WeldComputer Corporation.
