Introducing the New Pico DC: Advanced Fine Welding with Closed-Loop Feedback
Sunstone's newest welder is engineered specifically for extremely fine welds. As a direct current welder, the Pico DC has built-in force and displacement monitoring that delivers unmatched precision and control over the welding process. Further, the Pico DC's closed-loop feedback improves quality control by providing real-time monitoring of every weld. The welder will alert you whenever a weld lies outside user-defined parameters.
“The Pico DC’s closed-loop feedback and built-in force and displacement technology makes it an attractive welding solution,” says Jonathan Young, president of Sunstone Engineering. “In a fully automated environment, the Pico DC’s monitoring and real-time reporting capabilities will significantly contribute to a manufacturer’s quality control efforts. Moreover, all these features are built into one component, a unique benefit not found in other DC welders. The Pico DC is an all-in-one welder that saves on capital equipment costs.”
The Pico DC’s closed-loop feedback capabilities provide real-time monitoring of every weld. Should a weld fall outside parameters set by the operator, the Pico DC sends a time-stamped alarm. Given that circumstance, the operator can program the Pico DC to either pause further welding to allow for inspection or make note of the discrepancy and continue welding. Closed-loop feedback monitoring, as found in the Pico DC, significantly strengthens a manufacturer’s quality control processes.
As with many of Sunstone’s micro welders, the Pico DC is controlled by an 8” color touchscreen interface, including all necessary weld head controls and programming. The digital interface shortens the learning process and greatly simplifies operation. The on-board software can be updated using the welder’s Wi-Fi connectivity features. The welder is PLC and automation ready.
“For highly automated production floors, where fine materials are being connected, the Pico DC is a great fit,” says Young. “The welder’s force and displacement controls, coupled with its digital weld head controls, make it one of the most precise welding solutions available. ”Manufacturers who need thermal compression welding, or who weld fine wires, solar cells, PCB’s, magnets, coil terminations, electronics, heating elements, or fine ribbon bonding will find the Pico DC exceptionally valuable to their production processes.
Sunstone customers enjoy white-glove customer service and, when subscribed to the Sunstone Circle, benefit from a never-ending warranty, complimentary loaner welders, shipping, and other benefits.
