Products KAPKON GmbH

SP technology (single-pulse technology)

Use when CD-welding is recommended.

Possible current forms: discharge of (ONE) capacitor bank.

KAPKON recommendation: use of patented combi-pulse technology (CP) without recharging.

CP technology (combipulse technology)

Use when CD-welding is recommended.

Possible current forms: variable combination of the FOUR capacitor banks.

Extensive possibilities to vary the current flow and time:

Advantages of the combipulse technology (CP):

01

Reduction of weld spatter

02

Significantly increased process capability through combination of discharges

03

Usability: One machine for a wide variety of different joining tasks.

Example of a KAPKON combipulse sequence:

2nd pulse: weld connection

Material connection sufficient strength, height adjustment

Additional pulses can be used to:

to further influence the sinking path,

to enable post weld heat treatment (to reduce temperature gradients)

CP technology for the optimal fulfillment of customer objectives (e.g. coated materials), materials prone to hardening cracks without:

Reloading

Cycle time reducing
