Concept
- FFTweldtecMobile TipChanger enables time-optimized and automatic changing of the electrode caps on stationary welding guns
- combines compact design with low weight for mounting on the robot gripper
- The electrode caps are changed one after the other by aligning the mobile TipChanger with the stationary welding gun.
Technical specifications
- Change on different shafts
- Compact design
- Can be carried on the gripper
- quick-change magazine
- Minimum space requirement
Advantages of the FFTweldtec Mobile TipChanger Seamless integration into your production process.
Increased efficiency
- Increased availability and productivity through time-optimized changeover
Flexible cap change process
- Various shanks and caps possible
- Minimal space requirement on the gripper
- Simple programming
- Filling of the magazine via quick-change cap bars
Cost savings
- Cost savings due to less wear on the electric shafts.
Robust and easy to maintain
- Use of proven components for high reliability and easy spare parts procurement.
- Low maintenance requirements to minimize downtimes.
Options for the FFTweldtec Mobile TipChanger
Standardized collection container
- The FFT collection container is used for the targeted disposal of used electrode caps in production systems in the automotive industry.
- The electrode caps are emptied from the collection container via the disposal flap (manually operated).
- The caps are directed into a transport container via the chute.
High force version
- The FFT M-EKW-HK enables the smooth and automatic replacement of used electrode caps for resistance spot welding on stationary guns.
- The FFTweldtecMobile TipChanger removes the electrode caps via a wedge separator that moves linearly between the electrode cap and the starting collar of the electrode shaft.
- The electrodes are pressed onto the welding gun for resistance spot welding using high-force technology.
Robot docking
- Direct connection of an FFTweldtecMobile TipChanger to any robot
- Can be used universally, whether with or without the high-force option of the mobile electrode cap changer
- Standardized design guarantees fast delivery times and optimized interfaces
- Individual customer requirements can be taken into account.

FFTweldtec Basic
C, X and XL welding gun for steel alloys
Our welding tools for industrial joining technology can be customised for assemblies such as motors and transformers. We offer three different welding guns, which differ in welding force and weight.
FFTweldtec Advanced C-Gun
Welding gun for aluminium alloy
The FFTweldtec Advanced C-Gun is a robot welding gun series for aluminium welding. It is not only used in the automotive industry.
FFTweldtec TipChanger
Electrode cap change on robot-guided welding guns
The FFTweldtec TipChanger enables automatic, space-saving changing of electrode caps on robotic welding guns. Inductive sensors monitor the fill level in the magazine. Loosened caps fall into a catch basket.
FFTweldtec Mobile TipChanger
Changing electrode caps on stationary welding guns
The Mobile TipChanger enables fast, automatic change of electrode caps on welding guns. Compact and lightweight, it can be easily mounted on the robot arm. Level sensors monitor the cap level.
FFTweldtec VarioPicker® EVO
Material-locking hemming fixation
These fixing points, which are set with the VarioPicker® EVO, are used to connect the outer skin to the support structure. The fixing points are created with a material bond, eliminating the need for gelling after hemming.
FFTweldtec Engineering Service
Welding technology construction service
We offer you the design and development of WPS gun base bodies and special welding machines, 3D construction (CATIA V5, UG), FEM calculation, creation of measurement and test protocols as well as data handling in the customer system.
FFTweldtec Test Station
Test Station for welding guns
The FFTweldtec Test Station tests servo-pneumatic and servo-motorised robotic welding guns with the necessary systems, including reporting.
FFTweldtec Measuring Station
Measuring Station for welding guns
Professional calibration of servo-pneumatic and servo-motorised robot welding guns, including determination of the deflection of the electrode arm geometry using 3D measuring systems and logging.
