Kistler (Wien, Austria) announced its new Type 9831D welding force calibration transmitter that offers readout and configuration via the digital IO-Link interface as an option.
IO-Link improves flexibility and interoperability to deliver a more user-friendly experience when testing and calibrating robotic welding guns, as well as the force and strain sensor technology integrated in them.
Features:
- Pre-calibrated
- Ready to operate with a standard ex-works sensitivity of 1 mV/N
- Maximum measurement accuracy and repeatability
- Integrated detection of the welding voltage
- Interchangeable inserts
IO-Link contributions:
- Ability to send digital measurement data and receive input signals in real time
- Enables remote configuration and monitoring of the device
- Optional high and low-pass filters as well as possibilities for signal inversion and amplification
- Improves compatibility and interoperability among devices from different manufacturers
- Enhanced control, flexibility and integration capability for all specialized resistance spot welding systems and plants
Various mount adapters are available for the welding force transmitter, and the Quick-Mount adapter allows operation of the device by one person only. The device's ground-insulated design improves workplace safety by preventing unintentional welding.
An optional handle (already familiar from the Type 9831C predecessor model) is available to make it easier to transport the transmitter.
