RWMA Resistance Welding School - DAY 1
7:45 AM – 5:00 PM
Welcome and Introduction to Resistance Welding
Mark Siehling, Vice President of Engineering, RoMan Manufacturing Inc.
Welding Processes & Machines
This session will reinforce the very essence of how the resistance welding process works and how the process relates to each of the four resistance welding processes. This session will be full of application examples from each process, and will show how machinery utilizes the individual components and elements illustrated in the other sessions.
Tim Foley, Sales Manager, Automation International, Inc.
Materials
Not all materials are created equal, especially from the perspective of resistance welding. This session will present a brief overview of the most common materials joined by the resistive processes. Don will also highlight specific methodologies for joining them that have proven successful over his 20 years in the resistance welding industry.
Donald Maatz, Welding Engineer, RE Automated
Electrodes and Tooling
This session will focus on the classification, selection and maintenance of electrodes and fixtures as they pertain to numerous applications. Discover powerful problem/evaluation/solution techniques that will keep a production process running longer–and operation more efficient.
Bill Brafford, Technical Liaison Manager, Tuffaloy Products, Inc.
Electrical Power Systems
This session reviews the descriptions and maintenance of electrical power components and conductors from the weld control to the electrode. This lively presentation has something for everybody. Utilizing several small demonstrations, Mark Siehling will keep attendees on the edge of their seats as he highlights the important part of the resistance welding process.
