Amada Weld Tech
AMADA WELD TECH, a leading manufacturer of welding, marking, cutting, sealing, and bonding equipment and systems, released its next-generation UB Series Linear DC Resistance Weld Controls, engineered for precision, connectivity, and automation readiness. The latest evolution of the UB platform delivers faster closed-loop feedback, expanded data handling, and enhanced network security helping deliver precise, repeatable results for critical applications.
Advanced process control
The UB Series incorporates 40kHz closed-loop feedback, providing even faster and more accurate control of current or voltage compared with previous models. This high-speed sampling ensures precise energy delivery and stable waveforms, resulting in improved weld consistency, reduced part distortion, and higher process reliability.
An all-new “Weld to Displacement” feature adds another dimension of control, automatically ending the weld once a programmed displacement target is reached—ideal for delicate or variable materials.
Automation-ready connectivity
Designed for benchtop use and integration into a fully automated system, the UB Series features a new integrated 10-inch high-resolution touchscreen or optional remote display for flexible installation in production cells. Modern industrial communication protocols—REST API, MQTT (IoT), EtherNet/IP (optional), RS-232, and Direct I/O—enable seamless integration into Industry 4.0 environments.
Data handling and network securityFull waveform data for current, voltage, power, and resistance is captured at 40kHz and stored at 16bit resolution for detailed process monitoring and statistical analysis. Remote access allows engineers to perform diagnostics, software updates, and maintenance securely over the network. To protect connected systems, the UB Series employs certificate-based authentication and TLS encryption via OpenSSL, ensuring high-level data protection in connected manufacturing environments.
