FOR MEASURING ELECTRODE FORCE ON SPOT
WELDING EQUIPMENT

DESCRIPTION
The WFTK can be used to check electrode force in spotwelding equipment. The WFTK consists of a force transducer
and a display unit. To check the forces acting between the electrodes, the force transducer is held between the electrodes.
The concave surfaces center the force transducer. When the
welding electrodes come together, the magnitude of the applied
force can be read off on the display unit.

SPECIFICATIONS

The force transducer is of shear force construction and therefore insensitive to transverse forces and torques. It has a
measuring range of 0…10kN. The output signal is connected to
the handheld display unit via a cable. This display unit carries the
voltage supply for the transducer. Alternatively, the supply can
be taken from a PLC.

Load Range

Up to 10 kN (Additional load ranges available)

Accuracy

< 0.5%

Display Unit
Additional Display Functions

LCD - display, 5-digit, illuminated
MIN, MAX, HOLD, AVG, TARA, LGT

Battery Life

8 hours (per battery charging)

Service Temperature Range

-4 °F to 140 °F

Our proven thin-film sensors are the heart of the measuring
system. The sensor, which is laser welded, has all the advantages of the conventional bonded foil strain gauges, but without
having their substantial disadvantages (temperature drifts of the
glue and creeping).

Environmental Protection

Force transducer IP67, Display unit IP40
