WELDING CONTROL UNIT TE 183 

The TE 183 is a microprocessor welding control unit for direct current resistance welders. The welding control unit is used to control the welder parts and, in particular, the thyristors regulating the welding current. It is possible to program and to store up 63 different welding programs. All the programs can be recalled directly from the keyboard; 15 programs can be recalled from an external source by means of a PLC.  Each program can assume all the configurations included between the simplest 4 times cycle, up to the most complex one, which can include the slopes, the pulses, the postheating, the forging and the minimum and maximum current limits.
