ABSTRACT:
An electrode displacement monitoring and control system for predicting and adaptively controlling resistance weld quality. The relative displacement (34) between a movable electrode (16) and a fixed electrode (20) is monitored during a resistance weld cycle. The displacement information is processed and applied as a control signal for dynamically and adaptively varying various weld parameters including current application in order to control weld quality. A reversal in the direction of electrode displacement is identified and used in the adaptive control strategy to determine the amount of dynamic indentation achieved in a weld cycle.
