The PSI frequency inverter series integrates a weld timer and a matched power supply unit in one housing, with medium-frequency inverter or thyristor power-stage variants and air- or water-cooled configurations for driving welding transformers.
The integrated timer supports spot, projection, repeat-mode (manual guns), and seam/roll-seam welding applications. Welding schedules are built from up to three programmable weld-time blocks (preheat, weld, postheat) with optional impulse and current slope functions, and the controller can store up to 256 programs to assign unique schedules to many weld points. Process control includes phase-angle triggering and constant-current regulation (including mixed use within a schedule), plus independent current monitoring with programmable tolerance bands, timeout supervision, and automatic spot repetition when current is low. Built-in functions such as electrode management (current/force stepping and wear prewarnings), proportional-valve force control with force profiling, and protocol/diagnostic logging are configured and diagnosed through the BOS-5000 PC interface over a serial link or optional fieldbus/discrete I/O connections to PLCs and robots.
