Water Cooled Capacitor Discharge Welding Transformers
A capacitor discharge type spot weld transformer (抵抗溶接トランス, SCHWEIßTRANSFORMATOREN, transformateur de soudage, transformador de soldadura, transformador de soldagem, trasformatore di saldatura, kaynak transformatörü, lastransformator, محول اللحام) is a key component within a CD spot welder. Unlike traditional AC transformer-based spot welders that continuously supply current, this system discharges a large, instantaneous current to create a weld.
The process involves using a transformer to charge a capacitor bank. The stored energy is then discharged through the high-current spot weld transformer, which melts and joins metal parts with minimal thermal distortion.
