Key Components of a Clinching Tool
Key Components of a Clinching Tool Punch The punch is the tool that initiates the clinching process. It creates the indentation or hole in the metal sheets and drives the material flow needed to form the mechanical interlock. Die The die shapes the displaced material,...
What is Spot Welding?
What Is Spot Welding? Spot welding, also known as Resistance Spot Welding (RSW), is a welding process used to join two or more overlapping sheets of metal without the use of filler material. Spot welding is defined as a process in which faying surfaces are joined...
Seam Welding Explained: What is Seam Welding?
Seam Welding Explained: What is Seam Welding? Seam welding is a highly efficient resistance welding process used to join metals together along a continuous seam, making it leak proof and ideal for parts like exhaust systems and fuel pipes. Seam Welding is mostly used...
Refurbishing Resistance Welders at Prospot
At Prospot, we design and manufacture brand new Resistance Welding machines and, aligned with our Green Manufacturing strategy, we look to re-introduce redundant Capital Equipment into the manufacturing cycle. Refurbishing resistance welders offers a range of...
Flexible Station Welding
Three Multi-Head Twin Station Special Purpose Projection Welders were designed for welding M5, M6 and M8 Weld Nuts and M6 & M8 Weld Bolts to pressings. The twin station concept allows simultaneous operator loading and machine welding. Efficiencies are further...
Micro-Welding at Prospot
What is “Micro-Welding”? At Prospot, our micro-welding range covers equipment from 500VA (0.5kVA) to 10kVA and is generally used for the welding of small precision components in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. For example, our PW500 portable spot weld...
Patch Seam Welders
The Exhaust Boxes encompass the full range of Petrol and Diesel Internal Combustion Engine vehicles as well as a novel hybrid system which uses a Petrol Engine to charge the battery with only a high output electric motor connected to the wheels. Our seam welders are...
Who are Gatwick Technologies in Resistance Welding?
Prospot manufactures the Gatwick specialist range of resistance welders. Founded in 1969, Gatwick was an engineering company gaining decades of expertise in metal joining and forming technologies, particularly in resistance welding. Over the years, Gatwick built a...
What is Micro Welding?
How do you weld parts thinner than a human hair? The answer is Resistance Micro Welding. Micro Welding is a precision welding process used to join very small, delicate components with extreme precision. Micro welding machines are ideal for applications where you need...
Spares, Service & Calibration
Mushrooming Electrodes In Resistance Welding, electrodes play a crucial role in ensuring consistent, high-quality welds. But like any consumable, electrodes don't last forever. Using a worn down electrode in the spot welding process causes the electrode spot size to...
