Servo-Actuated Resistance
Spot-Welding Machine
T.J. Snow Co. Booth 5700
T.J. Snow Co., Chattanooga, TN, will feature a servo-actuated SlimLine resist- ance spot-welding (RSW) machine, a pedestal-type unit featuring an elec- tric servo force-delivery system that offers more pre- cision, control and feedback capability than do traditional RSW machines. A custom- designed touch- screen with color graphics offers an easy operator interface and also col- lects and stores weld data on a server. The machine is particularly well-suited for automated welding of nuts with a bowl feeder, since it can detect when a nut feeds upside-down and
immediately stop the process.

Press and Automation Systems, Hydroforming on Display
Schuler Inc.
Booth 3344
Schuler Inc., Canton, MI, will shed light on the benefits of metalforming con- cepts developed to reduce vehicle weight. Visit with booth personnel to learn of press and automation systems avail- able for cold forming of high-strength steels, pressure-controlled hardening, hydroforming and aluminum- and plastic- forming. These flexible systems easily adapt to changes in market segments, material prices and new technical devel- opments by leveraging multi-material solutions and customized platform con- figurations.
Also highlighted will be the firm’s hydroforming capabilities, which offer reduced part count, improved assembly time and accuracy, increased structural strength, and potentially zero-engineered scrap. www.schulerinc.com
