ARO Standard M Machines-2

Range of M pneumatic and mechanical machines Glossary: WCC: Welding Cabinet Controller SS: Single Stroke cylinder DS: Double Stroke cylinder Manual adjustment: Adjustment is performed by a pressure regulator which determines the compressed air supply of the cylinder in order to obtain the best clamping force. Electronic adjustment: The adjustment of the welding force of the cylinder is controlled by a proportional valve. Pressure program: This device allows the pressure to be varied during the force, for example, to reduce it when welding or to increase it again during the hold time.
