Abstract:

The seam welder conductive mechanism is the main part of the resistance seam welding machine. When the electrode wheel rolling on the welded parts, the Seam welder conductive mechanism will withstand the high press of electrode force and pass the high welding current from welding transformer to the electrode wheels of seam welding machine. Because of these two characteristics the following factors must be considered during the design of seam welder conductive mechanism. First of all, in order to withstand the high press of electrode force two bearings are introduced in the mechanism, the bearing should be lubricated and also isolated from the welding current in order to get long working time without damaging the bearing. Second of all, in order to pass the high welding current, the conductive pair with relative motion must be keep conduction all the time with certain surface pressure and lubrication, the conductive pair without relative motion must be keep conduction all the time with big surface pressure. Because of the high current pass through the conductive mechanism must be cooled with water during working. This is a mechanism equipped with water cooling for Electrode, main shaft, and Silver-plate conductive pads.
