Welding Controllers

Welding or weld controllers are used with almost every welding machines for measuring various parameters of the welding machine. It measures weld time, trigger position, final weld position, weld distance, energy and power for each weld when it is made.

Function of Welding Controllers
The welding controllers supplies performs some other essential functions like :

• The controller monitors the magnitude of current.
• The controller synchronizes wire feeder action of the machine with power supply current.
• Weld controller helps to increase travel speed and reduce spatter on a vast array of materials including steel, aluminium, stainless steel and galvanized steel.
• They commence and end the flow of current to the welding transformer.
• The controller displays weld data graphs thereby help in visual interpretation of the welding process.
• The controller displays weld data graphs thereby help in visual interpretation of the welding process.

Uses of Welding Controllers
Some of the areas where weld controllers are used include :

• Metal working
• Fabrication
• Automobile manufacturing
• Electronics industry
• Construction industry
• Plastic industry
• Shipping industry
