ARO Standard P machines

Product catalog summary
General Presentation
ARO is a leader in resistance welding, offering the P series machines for projection, spot, seam, and butt welding. These machines use Medium Frequency technology to enhance performance and modularity, featuring various transformers, welding commands, cylinders, and pneumatic regulators.
Specifications
The machines operate on a 400 V/50 Hz power supply and include electric pedal or bimanual control, air circuit components, and safety features. They come with either a 740 daN or 1380 daN cylinder and are water-cooled.
Medium Frequency Technology
This technology provides DC current, reducing nominal current and welding time, extending electrode life, and improving network load balance. It supports applications up to 50,000 A, especially in multi-projection and spot welding.
Spot Welding (PA Type)
PA machines use 50 Hz AC or 1000 Hz medium frequency technology, offering various transformer options and electrode-holder configurations, with manual or electronic pressure regulation.
Projection Welding (PB Type)
PB machines feature 250x250 mm platens and support both AC and medium frequency transformers, with options like position monitors and pressure regulation systems.
Seam Welding (PE Type)
PE machines are customizable, offering high thermal power, adjustable seam wheel gaps, and water cooling, supporting both seal and "Roll spot" welding.
Butt Welding (PF Type)
PF machines use 50 Hz AC technology, featuring cooled copper jaws and clamping cylinders, with programmable welding commands and various power supply options.
Programmable Welding Commands
The machines support multiple software versions and program numbers, offering features like current control, electrode wear management, and servovalve monitoring.
Options and Details
Additional options include precision pressure gauges and analog sensors for enhanced monitoring and control.
Pressure Sensor
This equipment triggers the welding cycle once the required force is achieved.
Single-Stroke, Double-Stage Cylinder (1380 daN)
Features an additional housing to increase clamping force, with adjustable travel height via internal bushes.
Electronic Pressure Regulation
Utilizes a proportional valve to store force data during the welding cycle, adaptable to any program.
Stay Assembly for Machines
Ensures stiffness for precision welding, recommended for operations under a Quality Charter.
500 daN Elastomer Head
A double-spot welding head that balances pressure across weld spots.
Technical Characteristics
Detailed specifications for PA type machines, including power ratings, voltage, current, and welding capacities. Highlights include transformer types and power ratings (90-160 kVA), max short-circuit and welding power specifications, nominal primary voltage and network frequency, fuses and copper cable cross-sections for different voltages, and air and water consumption details.
General Characteristics and Special Options
Includes effective depth, pneumatic cylinder options, and electric transformer specifications. Options for programmable welding control and additional features like protection windows and support stays are also listed.
Glossary
Definitions for terms like CPS (Programmable Welding Control), PE (Electrode-holder), SC (Single-Stroke cylinder), and DC (Double-Stroke cylinder).
Warning
The document emphasizes that while the machines meet standard requirements, specific applications may require tailored solutions, with support available from sales and technical teams.
