Resistance welding set-up and troubleshooting will be a lot easier with one of TUFFALOY'S weld force gauges. They let you know what weld pressure you are getting at any time. Pressure is one of the three variables (along with heat and time) that must be correct if good welds are to be made.
Force gauges eliminate the shortcomings of computing weld pressure. Figuring from a standard air gauge reading can be inaccurate because weld cables or water hoses can impede strokes, or the air gauge itself may be incorrect. And when using lever-action rocker-arm welding equipment, determining weld pressure involves more complex computations to allow for the ratios present.
These are compact, direct-reading instruments. They operate on a closed and sealed hydraulic system and require no maintenance.
HIGH PRECISION GAUGE
This is the most precise force gauge available anywhere. It is accurate to with in 1/2 of one percent of actual reading, and it is permanently calibrated. Maximim reading is 3000 lb, in 20-lb increments. (Other capacities available on special order). Flexiable extension model, too.
The 6000 and 10,000 lb gauges are not insulated; weld current must be turned off. The 2000 and 6000 lb gauges are available in models with a flexible metal connecting hose between sensor and gauge. This makes gauge reading easier in hard-to-see locations.
