“System Contactomat CH” with horizontal tape feed. Contact Range tape width 1.20-3.50 mm tape heigth 0.30-1.00 mm cross section 0.050-2.60 mm2 round wire 100-2.20 mm range of contact length 0.60-3.50 mm Output up to 600 contacts/minute according to 300 contacts per welding unit Weld Technology: Resistance welding by inverter welding process with 1’000 Hertz technic, with following advantages: Large bonding area regular welds fine adjusting welding program facility prevent flashing monitoring of the welding current CHARACTERISTICS: -cam controlled working cycle -adjustable contact length through a good accessible screw -each contact is cutted and feeded individual to the welding point -parallel guide of the upper electrode disc with excellent heat dissipation and indexing holes for fast changing of position of the electrode – free positioning of the contact till 40 mm from the bord of the strip -position of the welding unit movable in an angle of 0-90 degrees in relation to the strip feed direction -welding of contacts on top or below side of the strip -driven contact tape reel to obtain regular contact length SEQUENCE OF OPERATING: -advance and positioning of the prepunched strip -advance of the tape with adjustable contact length -cutting off the contact from tape, on the outgoing side of the cutting die -feeding of the cutted single contact to the electrode through a pusher -exact positioning of the contact into the slot of the electrode disc sideways and lengthway to an adjustable stop -see the function flow chart -welding of the contact
