858 Percussion Welder

Model 858 Front Panel
Features & Settings

The standard system includes two primary components, the model 858 Percussion Welder and the 726 Bench Fixture.

This page shows the features, adjustments, and functions of the Model 858 Front panel to Join dissimilar metals, at almost any orientation, down to just a few thousandths of an inch. Weld without reducing the hardness of the metal, increasing resistance, or introducing incompatible material.

The 858 Percussion Welder Front panel makes micro-welding simple with the advanced features any type of micro welding is possible.

858 Front Panel

Actuator: The actuator setting
controls the charging voltage of the
capacitors that energize the
electromagnetic actuators. The range is
0 to 150 volts. The actuators move
the weldments together
during the welding process.

Delay: The delay is 0.5 to 5.0
milliseconds between actuator
initiation and discharge
of weld energy.

Weld: The weld energy voltage
control determines the charging
voltage applied to the
weld capacitors. The range
is 0 to 150 volts.

Mode: There are two mode settings,
regular and heavy-duty.
Heavy Duty adds an additional
bank of capacitors to
the weld output.

Pulse: The long / short pulse
width switch provides the
operator with pulse
width control. A long pulse
delivers less peak energy
for a long time
than a short pulse.

Polarity: Controls the direction of
weld energy electron flow.
The direction of electron flow
affects the amount of
heat applied to each weldment.

Capacitance: This setting controls the
amount of capacitance in the
weld output circuit. There
are three capacitance
ranges labeled 1, 2 and 3.
