MA-520B/521B/522B (2) Precautions for Handling Do not install this Sensor in the following. ■ Damp places where humidity is higher than 90%, places where the Sensor may be subjected to vibration or impact, dusty places, places where chemicals are handled, places near a high noise source, hot or cold places where temperatures are above 40°C or below 0°C, and places where water will be...
MA-520B/521B/522B 2. Features MA-520B/521B/522B is an electrode force sensor for resistance welding machine. By connecting this sensor to the special weld force gauge sold separately (MM-400A), the weld force over a wide range can be measured easily. This sensor can be carried easily, since it is both small and light.

In this chapter, we will explain about the optional jig for simultaneous force application and welding (A-04860-001). This jig can be used for MA-520B/521B only. (This cannot be mounted to MA-522B.) (1) Introduction This is a jig for measuring the weld force of the welding head which has two electrodes such as parallel gap welding and series welding.

MA-520B/521B/522B (3) Usage • Set the electrodes at the center as much as possible. • Put the electrodes on the weld force sensor as perpendicularly as possible. Remove oxide and any extraneous substances from the surface of electrodes to smoothen the surface, and then make a measurement.
