RSX Series Overview:
The RSX Series line of automated resistance spot (RSW), resistance seam (RSEW), resistance solder (RS), and resistance braze (RB) welders provide a flexible and cost effective method of increasing production, improving quality, and implementing lean manufacturing without having to build a custom solution in-house or employ the expensive services of a system integrator. Each model uses our patent pending weld head that allows manufacturers to quickly change between parallel gap and opposed electrode weld configurations, reducing the number of dedicated systems. All models use our WeldWorks Software Suite that is easy to learn and use due to its familiar Windows interface. Companies can easily control their process, analyze weld data, and make changes to weld recipes across multiple machines since information is stored in a central database.
Micro-resistance spot and seam welding finds use in a broad range of industries including:
| Automotive - connecting wires to airbag accelerometers pads |
| Aerospace - fusing thermocouple wires together to create a junction |
| Electronics - attaching tabs to reed switches for surface mount electronics |
| Medical devices - connecting fine wires to catheters, hearing aids, etc. |
| Industrial - fusing precision balls to stems for go, no-go indicators |
Resistance welding relies on Joule heating to raise the temperature of the metals being joined by using electric current and the contact resistance between the metals. Typical materials joined together using RSW or RSEW are stainless and carbon steel, titanium, aluminum, brass, Nitinol, MP35N, and other metal alloys. techMatrix can work with you in determining if your parts lend themselves to the resistance joining process by performing engineering feasibility studies.
*The WeldWorks Software Suite can be purchased and run on stand-alone weld controllers/heads that do not use RSX series hardware. Please contact techMatrix LLC sales for more details.
