Pre-requisite: Verify that the force is calibrated
Make sure that the welding system is calibrated to be
within 90 Newtons (20 lbs) of target. The force is
determined by the air pressure provided into the weld
gun air cylinder. A conversion factor is required to
convert the air pressure in PSI or MPa into force in
pouds or kilo newtons.
Some robot welding applications have robot controllers
controlling the weld force. Others setups have the
welding control having control of the welding force.
