Bodyshop equipment specialist Blackhawk offers a comprehensive line-up of medium frequency resistance spot welders that are micro-processor controlled and feature direct current inverter technology. 

Blackhawk says these are a step above traditional spot welders, with the Power Gun technology allowing for higher welding currents with low absorption rates. Longer, lighter cables give better holding, wider range of action, and a minimise magnetic fields around the cables. These welders give excellent results on high strength steel (HSS) and galvanised sheet metal, making them ideal for collision repair as well as many other applications. 

Thanks to automatic recognition of the materials and thickness, the innovative Smart Autoset technology, eliminates set-up times and guarantees optimal spot welding, even when the types of steel to be processed are unknown. WAVE technology facilitates interaction with the machine and tracks all operating parameters for their processing and reporting. The programs and reports generated can be transferred to a USB flash drive for printing or viewing on a PC.

Proving particularly popular with Irish bodyshops at present is the WEL14000A. This is a high quality resistance spot welder with Smart Autoset technology to speed up the welding process. It comes as a complete package with a load balancer and pole kit, 3 water cooled arms and 5M cables for an extended operating range. 

It features an easy to use multifunction digital panel that can be used to select the automatic Smart Autoset mode as well as the EASY, PRO, MULTI semi-automatic mode and manual mode. Automatic pressure monitoring ensures excellent adjustment of the force applied to the gun electrodes.

With labour time now more precious than ever in the bodyshop, the WEL14000A can significantly boost welding efficiency and speed up job times. This makes it a wise investment for any workshop looking to take its welding ability to the next level.
