DC Micro Welder

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

Monrovia, California – The UB29A Linear DC Micro Welder provides a larger current range, greater control, and faster rise time for micro-miniature resistance welding. Featuring closed-loop feedback, fast response times and a controlled precise energy waveform, the UB29A is designed for safety-critical applications in the automotive, medical, aerospace, precision electronics, and battery markets.

Designed to complement the UB29 Linear DC Micro Welder, UB29A’s improved waveform control and faster rise time feature a larger current range than the legacy power supply.

The UB29A delivers an output power range of 15A-1,500A in four control modes: current, voltage, power, and V-A (voltage-current). It delivers a precisely controlled, repeatable waveform with a less-than 200 microseconds rise time. It can be used to weld wire assemblies, sensors, connectors, and squibs.

The UB29A’s design features an On/Off switch on front of the unit and a simplified rear panel for I/O connections. Dual-pulse schedules and side-mounted bus bars with threaded inserts are for mounting weld cables.
