Kistler sensors for spot welding
Keywords: Kistler Instruments, Spot welding
A range of innovative quartz sensors for monitoring consistent high quality in spot welding applications is available from Kistler Instruments (see Plate 7).
The sensors are primarily designed for spot welding applications such as vehicle construction, though they can also be used in other resistance welding methods.

sensors for spot welding
The sensors are used in monitoring the electrode force and the force profile during welding. This type of measurement requires several thousand amps, and quartz sensors are suitable because the results will not be influenced by electrical or magnetic fields.
The sensors can be fitted into the stationary spot welding machine directly into the force flux, i.e. in the tong, or in the machine bed for indirect measurement of the force.
