We also build specialty resistance welding fixtures according to customer specifications and requirements. We supply laser, mig, tig and arc welding consumables. Our resistance weld monitoring systems assess weld quality in the process for spot, seam and projection welds. Spot welding guns are designed to fit the assembly. We offer two basic types of welding guns, the direct acting type, generally known as a C-type gun, where the operating cylinder is connected directly to the moving electrode and the X-type where the operating cylinder is remote from the moving electrode, the force being applied to it by means of a lever arm.
