TECNA® TE101 Resistance Welding Control - Overview & Basic Tutorial

TECNA® TE101 is a microprocessor-based welding control for single-phase AC resistance welders. Join us as we cover all the features and how to program weld schedules into the TE 101 control. TJ SNOW sells and supports TECNA resistance welding products. Contact us today! The TE101 weld control is used to control the movement of the welder and the thyristor / silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) that regulates the welding current. The working program followed by the TECNA TE101 is created through the 13 programming parameters available in the control. The TE 101 may be used for both manual and pneumatic-operated spot welders. Features: • Synchronous thyristor drive with phase-shift control for welding current adjustment. • Built in ammeter (RMS value), 2 selectable ranges (18-56 kA). • Storing of 99 welding programs. • Inputs for external selection of 31 programs or 15 programs with parity control. • Welding times adjustment in half-periods. • Pre-weld, slope and pulse functions. • Welding current control limits. Error condition signaling output and function to stop welder operation. • Single and repeat operating mode. WELD/NO WELD function. • Welding current compensation function to assist welding of oxidized sheets and rods. • Possibility to connect two independent start of cycle device using different welding programs. • Autoretain disabling for manually actuated welders. • First phase shift delay adjustment. It enables the machine line current best balance. • Cos φ...
