P series machines

Product catalog summary
General Presentation
ARO's P series machines are designed for medium-power applications in projection, spot, seam, and butt welding. They incorporate Medium Frequency (MF) technology for enhanced performance and modularity, featuring a single machine frame with multiple transformers and programmable commands.
Medium Frequency Technology
This technology provides DC current, improving weld quality by reducing nominal current and welding time, extending electrode life, and enhancing network load balancing with a three-phase power supply.
Spot Welding (PA Type)
PA type machines use both 50 Hz AC and 1000 Hz MF technologies, offering various transformer options and electrode-holder configurations, with features like manual and electronic pressure regulation and water cooling.
Projection Welding (PB Type)
PB type machines are available with AC and MF transformers, designed for high-quality multi-projection welding applications, featuring position monitoring and electronic pressure regulation.
Seam Welding (PE Type)
PE type machines are for seal and "Roll spot" welding applications, with high thermal power transformers and adjustable seam wheel gaps, including water cooling and adaptive welding current regulation.
Butt Welding (PF Type)
PF type machines have cooled copper jaws and clamping cylinders, offering programmable welding commands and electronic pressure regulation.
Programmable Welding Commands
Machines support programmable sequences for precise control over welding parameters, including options like servovalve monitoring and electrode wear management.
Options and Details
Additional options include precision pressure gauges and various electrode configurations.
Pressure Sensor
Triggers the welding cycle once the required force is achieved.
Single-Stroke, Double-Stage Cylinder (1380 daN)
Increases clamping force with adjustable travel height.
Electronic Pressure Regulation
Uses a proportional valve to store force data during the welding cycle.
Stay Assembly for Machines
Ensures stiffness for precision welding, recommended under a Quality Charter.
500 daN Elastomer Head
Balances pressure force on each weld spot with a double-spot welding head.
Technical Characteristics
Details specifications for PA type machines, including transformer types, power ratings, network frequency, power consumption, and welding capacities.
General Characteristics and Options
Lists machine types and special features like effective depth and electrode-holder kits.
Glossary
Defines terms such as CPS (Programmable Welding Control) and PE (Electrode-holder).
Warning
Machines meet standard requirements but can be customized with expert assistance.
