Where current leading connections within welding guns have to carry out movements in max. two dimensions (not transverse to the foils), our flexible laminated connectors are used. They are manufactured as standard from copper foils with thickness 0,10 mm or 0,20 mm in a press-riveted design.
In the press riveting process we use, layered foils are riveted under pressure. In order to be able to offer the rivets appropriate hold, either caps or cover plates are provided at the ends, when then serve as a contact surface. The strength of the copper material intended for production must be adapted to the movement to be carried out. Only laminated connectors that are correctly designed in terms of dimensions and materials achieve the longest possible service life. Electron beam welded versions are also available for special applications.
With this welding process the welding procedure is made without any appreciable heat effect on the copper material,
so that the desired spring effect of the copper material is maintained. We are happy to advise you on your applications and offer you our experience as early as the design phase of machine parts for power transmission.
Flexible laminated connectors used in resistance welding machines
In addition to our designs of laminated connectors for welding guns, we also manufacture a variety of designs for applications in the field of resistance welding machines. From the smallest foil connector similar to the welding gun designs up to cross-sections of 2000 mm² and more as well as connection surfaces in widths of up to 200 mm.
