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.
