2.1 Developments in primary parameter control

In general, manufacturers are keeping pace with technological advances that enable them to control energy and its output with ever greater subtlety.

Innovations in external heat or friction welding are confined to the technological advances brought about by the miniaturization of computer processing and electronic information.

Your machines are capable of :

• stop exactly where you want;

• precisely position the press (welding head or upper platen) in relation to the workpiece (lower platen);

• accelerate or decelerate according to a desired ramp ;

• ...
