Optimum Accessories for Maximum Availability!

Perfectly matched aids

TUCKER‘s range of accessories provides a wide variety of aids completing the automo-bile body-in-white.

Efficient quality assurance

Welding results may be affected by exter-nal factors. This does not necessarily mean bad welding, but merely signifies that upper or lower limits of defined parameters were exceeded.

The welding positions affected are marked immediately after welding by means of a color coding system. In the subsequent qual-ity assurance process, the fastening point is located quickly and efficiently.

Testing the right way!

You can choose from a broad range of testing equipment perfectly adapted to the load on the respective stud.

DCE Control and Energy Unit

For the first time weld energy and stud movement are controlled in real time!

With the new DCE Control and Energy Unit (Digitally Controlled Energy) the entire weld-ing process, including all parameters, is mon-itored and controlled through digital signal processors (DSPs) in real time.

The stud movement is adjusted electronically in real time. In the closed loop, an integrated position measuring system provides con-stant feedback, with the system responding immediately and automatically to the chang-ing geometry of the component (closed loop control).

TUCKER Technology at its Best: Stud Welding with DCE!

Stud penetration defined

The plunge of the stud into the pool of molten sheet metal gives a clear indication of the weld quality. The DCE series provides stud penetration control, analysis and monitoring.

If necessary, a pre-defined stud penetration value may be programmed. This is especially important for T-stud or step stud applications requiring defined head dimensions.

Adjustable lift height

For each welding program, the lift height may be programmed to range between 0.6 mm and 3 mm. Thus, every single application is perfectly adapted to the welding task.

Everything under control!

Constant weld time, independent of wear!

Even though weld splatter is almost entirely eliminated by controlled stud movement and weld plunge, flue gases and metal dust can cause contamination of all components involved in lift movement of the weld head and stud.

Nevertheless, all welding is done at a con-stantly high level of quality. As an added benefit, the service life of all spare parts is extended significantly – as are the mainte-nance intervals. Extended residence time increases availability and reduces efforts relating to maintenance and spare parts.

The New Operating Panel

Optimum Comfort and Security!

Intuitive Interface

Simple, intuitive, menu-driven Windows in-terfaces are today‘s standard for any situa-tion. Since late 2007, Emhart Teknologies has been providing a new, state-of-the-art oper-ating panel for its DCE generation of equip-ment. High-resolution displays illustrate the current equipment status and visualize any available information and data.

Abbreviations, error codes, and similar aids are things of the past. On the new operat-ing panel, all information is rendered in plain text or via common icons.

Software Packages

Programming for steel or aluminum

With the DCE generation of equipment, users are fully enabled to perfectly adapt the weld process to their requirements.

Offline programming

This software turns the operating device into a full-fledged offline-programming unit. It is no longer necessary to use a PC or laptop for data backup or welding program recovery.

From progress to standard

This TUCKER technology responds to the increasing role of lightweight construction methods in the automotive industry. A new grade of stud welding which also applies to thin steel sheets (0.6 mm), high-strength steel, aluminum, magnesium, and many sandwich materials and alloys.

From experience to leadership

Today, more than 11,000 TUCKER stud weld-ing systems utilizing a primary modulated power control unit are used worldwide. This experience, along with close contacts with experts in the field, is a constant source of in-novative ideas which we have implemented in the DCE Control and Energy Unit.

“Assist“ features

Products and processes have become more complex, yet they are supposed to be managed by a smaller operating and maintenance staff. That‘s where “Assist“ comes into play.

At the touch of a button, you get all the required and accurate pieces of information for the specific welding equipment – parts lists, maintenance plans, interface drawings, troubleshooting guides etc. Supported by illustrations and pictures, all this enables even someone who is not an expert to handle the stud welding system in a safe manner – not only, but above all during incidents!

By means of the innovative touch-screen technology, the size of controls is adapted to the user‘s current requirements.

The built-in USB interface facilitates the transfer of firmware, welding programs, measuring data, and fault latches.

The new operating panel comes

with different software packages, providing the right pro-

gram for your application.

Dirt protection tailor-made to each weld head

Cleaning is significantly reduced, main-tenance scheduling made easier and maintenance work can be carried out more swiftly.

Equipment variations DCE Control and Energy Unit

Easy and safe download of software up-dates without exchange of EPROMS via flash memory directly from PC.

DCE-Link networking software for trans-parent maintenance management featur-ing Ethernet TCP/IP for Internet/Intranet integration.

Stud arrival sensor mounted on the weld head – immediately detects the arrival of the stud, thus speeding up the remaining feeding process.

Stud ID / Car body ID – the DCE Energy Unit is able to receive various produc-tion data through the customer interface. Monitoring the parameters, we link the data to the current weld data and pass them on to the customer control. These data form the basis of perfect quality management and efficient improvement processes with one goal: zero defects in the final assembly.

Customer interfaces – apart from a parallel interface, serial field bus systems like Interbus, Profibus, Modbus, and De-viceNet are available. Additional means of communication include Ethernet-based systems like ProfiNet or Ethernet IP.

Operation with switches – Flexibility in a production cell may be increased sig-nificantly by means of a feed switches.

Inert gas – for aluminum stud or stainless steel stud welding, both weld heads and guns may be equipped with an inert gas nozzle.

Optimum Accessories for Maximum Availability!

Perfectly matched aids

TUCKER‘s range of accessories provides a wide variety of aids completing the automo-bile body-in-white.

Efficient quality assurance

Welding results may be affected by exter-nal factors. This does not necessarily mean bad welding, but merely signifies that upper or lower limits of defined parameters were exceeded.

The welding positions affected are marked immediately after welding by means of a color coding system. In the subsequent qual-ity assurance process, the fastening point is located quickly and efficiently.

Testing the right way!

You can choose from a broad range of testing equipment perfectly adapted to the load on the respective stud.
