TE180 - Advanced microprocessor control unit
WELDING CONTROL UNIT TE 180
TE 180 is a microprocessor welding control unit for single-phase resistance welders. The welding control unit is used to control the welder parts and, in particular, the thyristor regulating the welding current. It is possible to program and to store up 15 different welding programs. All the programs can be recalled directly from the keyboard and from an external source by means of a PLC. Each program can assume all the configurations included between the simplest 4 times cycle, up to the most complex one, which can include the slopes, the pulses, the postheating, the forging and the minimum and maximum current limits.
