Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides comprehensive details on Amada Miyachi's Thin-Line Weld Heads, specifically designed for resistance spot welding applications. It focuses on the features, configurations, and technical specifications of the 80 and 180 Series weld heads, highlighting their precision, durability, and high-speed capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Low inertia, fast follow-up designs enhance weld consistency and appearance.
  • Adjustable force firing allows for independent weld force, improving quality.
  • Patented EZ-AIR technology ensures consistent force and simplifies setup.
  • Rugged industrial design enhances productivity and longevity.
  • Available in pneumatic or manual actuation options.
Configurations:
  • Opposed Configuration: Utilizes top and bottom electrodes for ease of setup and control.
  • Series Configuration: Employs two top electrodes for situations without bottom access, creating two weld spots.
  • Step Configuration: Similar to series but with one electrode contacting the bottom part, producing a single weld.
  • Parallel Gap Configuration: Suitable for very small parts, producing a single weld spot under the gap between electrodes.
Technical Specifications:
  • 80 Series: Force range from 0.25 to 40 lbs (1.1 to 178 N), with various models offering different configurations and actuation methods.
  • 180 Series: Mid-force range from 5 to 100 lbs (22 to 445 N), designed for higher force applications.
EZ-AIR Technology: This system simplifies setup and ensures accurate, repeatable force control by managing air pressure in the weld head's chambers, preventing over-force and enhancing process stability.
Applications: The Thin-Line Weld Heads are suitable for both production line and benchtop applications, capable of operating at speeds greater than 3600 welds per hour.
Additional Information: The document includes contact details for Amada Miyachi's global offices and notes on the availability of accessories and electrodes.

Spot Welding Heads - Thinline 80 Series, 180 Series-1

Weld Heads Amada Miyachi's Thin-Line Heads for spot welding applications comprise three families of fullfeatured products for resistance spot welding: 80 Series (20 lbs (89N) - 40 lbs (178N)), and 180 Series (100 lb (445 N)). All are precision, low inertia, force-fired designs, with narrow vertical profiles. Inline and parallel gap spot welding configurations available. Ideal for both production line and benchtop applications, Thin-line weld heads can operate at speeds greater than 3600 welds per hour. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS KEY FEATURES • Low inertia, fast follow-up designs improve weld consistency, reduce metal expulsion, and improve weld appearance • Adjustable force firing ensures weld force is independent of electrode stroke length resulting in higher quality welds Magnet wire to terminal • Patented EZ-AIR technology ensures force consistency and simplifies set-up • Rugged industrial design improves productivity, minimizes repair costs and ensures long life • Pneumatic or manual actuation Coin cell battery tab Honeycomb tacking RESISTANCE WELDING

Spot Welding Heads - Thinline 80 Series, 180 Series-7

RESISTANCE WELDING EZ-AIR TECHNOLOGY The EZ-AIR weld force control system simplifies the set-up process to a single adjustment and helps prevent weld over-force by closing off the input air when the actual weld force reaches the programmed weld force level, delivering accurate force control which is repeatable across multiple weld heads without complex setup or operator training. • Firing force is important because it controls contact resistances and, therefore, heat generation at the electrode-to-part and partto-part interface. • Superior force control = process stability and higher production...
