Precise positioning of the welding gun to the metal sheets is done using a linear position sensor as the feedback device for the pneumatic actuator.
Having a position control loop enables the welding gun to adapt to different thicknesses of metal sheets, have programmable electrode positions based on the tip dressing and reduce operating noise and maintenance due to the controlled approach to the final position.
Standard industry bus communication protocols or Analog output allows for easy integration of Temposonics position sensors with welding position controllers.
