New series of modular systems for precision joining
mada Weld Tech has launched its new Jupiter series of modular systems for precision joining, available for laser welding, laser marking, resistance welding, micro arc welding, and hot bar bonding applications. Jupiter modular systems can be equipped with all joining process modules available from Amada Weld Tech to provide solutions to customers. With the Jupiter series, customers purchase an
A
automation platform from a global joining equipment leader and receive intensive process development support in Amada Weld Tech application development centers. Joint early stage process development in Amada Weld Tech labs ensures that customers receive the ideal system solution for years of high-quality production. Any welding, soldering, bonding, brazing, laser micromachining, and laser marking application can be handled by equipment in the Jupiter series.
The Jupiter modular system platform is a
flexible system that comes in four sizes, so it is adaptable to specific production requirements. The stable platform enables connections of very high quality and accuracy. The modular design is configurable to fit all process components and modules. The Jupiter models feature an ergonomic system design with high quality components, designed for 24/7 continuous production. All models are equipped with a human-machine interface (HMI) with touchscreen for easy programming and standard safety features. Control systems, based upon a programmable
logic controller (PLC) or industrial PC, collect all available process parameters and process data into one control system. The data can be stored in local and remote storage areas, all engineered to seamlessly integrate with an Industry 4.0 factory concept.
Optional features for the Jupiter systems
include a combustion suppression unit (CSU) for battery pack welding; a transport system with two individual belts that can be configured for a wide range of product carriers, including transfer systems; an automatic cleaning station for electrodes and thermodes; a “Not OK” bin to separate products outside the control limits from those within control limits; and a range of water cooling options. Also available are upgraded data collection and traceability functionalities, including a barcode reader or a label printer; and interfaces for a variety of robotic systems. Amada Weld Tech offers its expertise to all of
its customers to correctly match any welding, soldering, bonding, brazing, laser micromachining and laser marking application inside the Jupiter series.

EMC line filters for machinery and electrical equipment
The FN3280 series provides the attenuation
performance needed to meet the requirements of various machine tools with up to 12 driving axes and ~10 to 20m of motor cable each. To simplify selection for an application, the filter current ratings are aligned with common fuse values. The attenuation performance is identical to standard models making them interchangeable depending on end product application. Providing simple and time-saving installation
FN3280H is a compact and lightweight filter design with a “cubic“ shape requiring minimum mounting space, simplifying the power entry design of enclosures and control panels for machine builders.
S
The new line-up of FN3280H filters, with the so- called R69 option, will not cause the overall insulation resistance of machinery or equipment when under test to drop below 1Mohm, ensuring systems fitted with the new EMC filter will comply with European and International safety standards.
chaffner has introduced a complete range of their popular FN3280H 4-Line filter series featuring higher insulation resistances. The
The filters also increase EMC immunity if connected directly to the mains input. As a mains input filter for equipment
requiring 3-phase power with a neutral line, the FN 3280 provides enough performance to ensure EMC compliance of machinery in mixed (Class A) or even domestic (Class B) environments while also increasing the immunity of the entire installation significantly. The new filter series is now available with power ratings up to 600A and the line-ground discharge time (after power disconnection) is increased so that standard models may be more suitable for non-machinery applications.

with good accessibility for automatic and hand tools FN3280H filters have solid, touch-safe terminal blocks (8 to 200 A types) offering sufficient contacting cross section according to the EN 60204-1 installation standard, commonly required for industrial applications. Key specifications include maximum continuous operating voltage 3 x 520/300 Vac, operating frequency DC – 60Hz, rated currents 8 – 600A, operational temperature range -25C to 100C. Typical applications include industrial
equipment, machinery, machine tools and diverse process automation systems requiring 3- phase and neutral electricity supply. Due to the outstanding attenuation performance, FN3280 is also the first choice for noisy power supplies, renewable energy applications, high power office equipment etc. Because of the relatively low leakage current, FN3280 may even be used for some medical devices.
