How it Works

1. 1. A LCB/LCF Series Load Cell is mounted between the converter and the actuator that moves the assembly/stack.
2. 2. A dampener is placed between the converter and LCB/LCF load cell to minimize the effects of high speed vibrations on the sensor.
3. 3. As the assembly clamps the parts together, the LCB/LCF load cell measures the welding and hold time clamping forces.
4. 4. The IAA Series and IDA100 amplify and transmit the load cell signal to the welder's PLC enabling closed loop clamping force control.
5. 5. Additionally, the IDA100 enables logging and monitoring of the load cell output via a PC with SENSIT™ Software.
6. 6. The data generated via our SENSIT™ software can then be used for IoT and production traceability operations.
