Spot Welding Electrode Tip Dresser with Cutter and Holder Manual / Handheld Pneumatic Electrode Tip Dresser / Polishing

1 . Description

Proper tip dressing helps maintain weld consistency and quality in spot welding applications while also saving time and money. Robotic tip dressers with dual-sided sharpeners/shapers for resistance welding electrodes — are generally mounted on stationary stands for robotic weld gun arms and on retractable swing arms for pedestal welding units. Repeated exposure to high temperature and pressure alters copper electrode tip geometry over a number of welds. Tip dressing resets the electrode shape to help your company meet the precise specifications of your customers.

Electrode maintenance is critical to weld quality. Specify an electrode shape — and help it stay that way — to maintain the consistency of each weld. Even with proper weld parameters and water cooling, copper electrodes wear. Electrode Tip Dresser (ETD) can help you achieve better, more consistent welds, without a tiring and labor-intensive routine.

Proper tip dressing can solve a number of weld quality issues, including undersized or stuck welds, non-round welds, poor class-A appearance and excessive indentation (information via the WeldHelp Troubleshooting Guide).

Cutting and reshaping with the easy and fast pneumatic tip dresser is as simple as sharpening a pencil. Manual dresser shapes upper and lower caps simultaneously, saving time and ensuring electrode face alignment.

Unlike competitive units, the manual dresser features a large horizontal grip that easily fits hands wearing protective gloves while giving the operator stability, control and leverage while dressing.

Worn electrode tips produce either poor welds or no welds at all, limiting both quality and productivity. Two possible solutions to worn tips are to (1) replace them with new, or (2) recondition existing tips on either a lathe, drill press, or with a portable Electrode Dresser. Replacing tips is a costly and time consuming alternative. Reconditioning tips on standard machine shop equipment, although providing uniformly dressed electrodes, cuts valuable production time. Reconditioning worn tips with an Electrode Dresser, however, is a convenient, economical solution that minimizes downtime.

2. Type of cutter cases :

The cutter case bore diameter acts as a guide so that the cutter dresses at the correct location relative to the tip. Please specify a cutter case that matches the tip size.
