AC High Current Switching
High Current Switch
Solid-state thyristor switching unit that distributes the welding current of a single inverter to up to five welding heads or guns — eliminating the need for multiple welding power sources.
Description
The High Current Switch is a contactless, self-monitored switching cabinet built around high-performance thyristors. It allows one welding inverter to feed several welding heads or guns sequentially through dedicated channels, with very short switching cycles and full PLC integration. The result is a compact, low-maintenance solution that significantly reduces investment cost compared with installing multiple welding power sources.
Key Features
- ●Switches the welding current from one inverter to different welding heads and/or guns
- ●Self-monitored switching by means of high-performance thyristors
- ●No mechanical components — fully contactless operation
- ●Up to 5 channels possible
- ●Very short switching cycles
- ●Water-cooled for continuous high-current operation
- ●Control via PLC, easy integration into existing automation
- ●High savings potential vs. multiple welding power sources
Application Examples
Multi-station resistance spot welding cells with one shared inverter
Robotic welding lines using several pincers driven from one power source
Multi-head projection welding fixtures for batch production
Automotive subassembly lines with sequential weld points
Compact welding cells where floor space and energy budget are limited
Retrofit of existing lines to consolidate multiple power sources
