Multi welders from RWS offer enhanced efficiency, reliability and increased productivity for high volume or complex parts.
We can work with you to design, manufacture and deliver a machine to your specification to meet your production needs at a price set at the start of the project.
Reasons to consider investment in to either a dedicated multi welder or universal welding system include;
-
Consistency and Strength of weld
-
Ease of use for both operator and setter
-
Reduced production cycle time
-
Reduced floor space and required utilities
-
Fixed production costs
-
Increase overall efficiency
-
Controlled quality and poke yoke of final assembly and component parts
MFDC Welding Machine, Feeder Refurbishment and Interlocking
RWS was asked to supply a pedestal welding machine to weld a range of weld nuts from M6 to M12 to mild steel panels 1.5mm - 3mm in thickness. The customer had restrictions on available power as he already has a number of resistance welding machines.
It was decided that a 100KVA MFDC machine with suitable tooling, refurbished nut feeders and interlocking for the other machines would be the perfect solution.
Cost to the customer was;
New MFDC machine £14,500 + VAT
Refurbish of feeder units £3200.00 + VAT each.
Interlocking for 5 off machines £2900.00 + VAT
Micro Welder for welding copper braded wire to tag.
RWS manufacture two bespoke machines, one AC and the other MFDC to fit a rotary table application to weld braided copper wire to crimp terminal contacts. Electrode materials were developed in order to give minimum amount of stiction while generating an uncompromised weld.
Ironing Board Tooling and Line Welder
The challenge presented was to improve productivity and weld quality of the iron stand to the ironing board with new weld tooling to be fitted to existing RWS projection welders. Also required was a set of fully adjustable weld banks to weld the runner rail to the main board.
The solution was to design and build spring loaded projection weld tooling for the stands and a bespoke welding module with multiple adjustable opposing welding heads, each with a 32KVA transformer.

Resistance Welding Machines
With the evolution of the motor industry and the change from steel body panels to aluminium, so the manufacturing process have evolved in favour of clinch nuts and studs. Thus, RWS has evolved to include in its range of machines, hydro-pneumatic presses from 4 - 16 Tones to allow insert of fixings up to M12 on a fast pedestal type system.
The press is designed to be modular as standard which allows for multiple independent modules to be mounted on a single frame so that multiple fixings of varying types can be applied on a single machine.
Standard features include;
- Programable Force Control
- Application Tonnage Monitoring
- Head Stroke Monitoring
- Interface for Nut Verification System
- Interface For Poke Yoke Position Monitoring
- Full Suite Of Counters
(Part Count, Stillage Count, Fault Count .......)
- 64 Programs with BCD Selection
- Fixing Feeder Control (Optional)
- Robot Interface (Optional)
- Stillage Containment Control
- Setter / Operator Access Control with USB Export
- Cycle Time Monitoring with USB Export
CNC and CAD-CAM Capability
- Precision and Accuracy -
RWS can achieve exceptional levels of precision and accuracy to manufacture parts to tight tolerances and specifications and high quality products.
- Complex Geometries -
Using CAD-CAM RWS can machine parts with intricate and complex shapes directly from 3D CAD models.
- Material Versatility -
RWS can work with a wide range of materials, including metals, aluminium, copper, brass, plastics and composites and even certain types of ceramics. This versatility allows for the production of parts with varying mechanical properties and characteristics.
- Repeatability and Consistency in Batch Production -
RWS's CNC machining capability means that each produced part is identical to the previous one, maintaining high consistency and quality throughout a production run. This repeatability is crucial for industries where conformity and reliability are essential.
- Prototyping and Low-Volume Production -
RWS has machining capacity for one off bespoke components, prototyping and small-scale production.
This flexibility allows us to iterate designs and produce small batches without the need for extensive tooling changes.
- CAD/CAM Integration -
RWS uses CAD CAM software to create part designs and generate machining paths to streamline the design-to-production process.
This allows us to achieve the quickest manufacturing cycle while maintaining the highest quality for the end product.
- Surface Finish Options -
Using a network of trusted suppliers RWS is able to offer what ever surface finish required be it shot blasted, coated, anodised polished etc.
