STUD & WELD NUT ELECTRODES


CenterLine manufactures a wide variety of stud & nut welding electrodes.
The high quality design and assembly provides a number of features and benefits including:
Accurate on center positioning of pilotless nuts provided automatically.
Insulated pin and sleeve prevents pin arcing in the threads.
Unit converts from welding nuts to studs in seconds by removal of pilot pin and/or welding head.
Used by automotive, mass transit, farm implement, stamping and appliance manufacturers.
Internal water cooling reduces heat build-up.
Minimum maintenance.

SMART ELECTRODES
CenterLine has combined its proven nut electrode technology with proven sensing technology to create the patented Smart Electrode nut
detection system. The Smart Electrode System can help you determine if a weld nut is present and in the correct orientation. This
diagnostic device provides a reliable method for enhancing the quality of the projection welding process.

System Features
Available for CenterLines 2, 3 and 4 series nut weld units.
Fiber optics communicate data directly from electrode to the
monitoring system.
No PLC or PC is required and there is no software to purchase.
Able to sense the presence of a single nut at the point-of-weld.
Capable of sensing piloted and non-piloted nuts.

Bypass switches to deactivate gun open and single nut


sensors.
Able to detect when the weldgun has returned to the open
position.
Available for special electrodes at a modest additional cost.
Standard components for quick turnaround time.

The CenterLine Smart Electrode System can be integrated into simple, stand-alone applications or fully integrated monitoring
systems. It is compact and easy to install with the aid of the detailed installation manual included with every unit and the tooling
change required to incorporate the Smart Electrode is minimal. Set-up and calibration are maintained electronically no mechanical
adjustments are necessary.

SPOT WELDING MACHINE ARMS & CAPS


CenterLine Spot Welding Machine Arms are engineered and manufactured to accommodate any of the standard line
CenterLine Electrode Holders as well as most other special shank type holders which might be required for specific special
applications.
Among the benefits to be obtained from use of our Spot Welding Arms are:
reduction in required set-up time resulting from easier front attachment feature.
extended arm life which occurs as a consequence of reduced bolt hole thread wear. Hole and threads are cut through steel insert
which is less malleable than copper used for basic arm.
NOTE: CenterLine can engineer and/or manufacture special spot welding machine arms for particular applications based on
customer specifications.

SEAM WELDING WHEELS


CenterLine Forged Seam Welding Wheels
are manufactured from a selection of alloys for a wide
variety of manufacturing conditions and materials
applications.
CenterLine (RWMA Class 1)
For seam welding of aluminum, terne plate and
situations where extensive heat is developed.
CenterLine (RWMA Class 2)
Ideal for cold rolled and similar clean uncoated
material seam welding applications.

CenterLine (RWMA Class 3)


Usually recommended for seam welding of stainless steels
and for use where unusually high pressures prevail.
CenterLine (Zirconium & Dispersion Strengthened Copper)
Suggested for seam welding of galvanized materials
and conditions where temperatures are relatively high.
NOTE:
CenterLine Seam Welding Wheels are made available
either as A) machined Blanks or B) finished seam
welding wheels manufactured to customer specifications.

GREASE EQUALIZERS
CenterLine grease equalizers are available in a variety of styles and configurations to satisfy nearly all multi-spot welding
applications. Unlike spring style units, the CenterLine grease equalizers ensure that equal pressure is distributed to all spot locations.
CenterLine can also design and manufacture custom weld fixtures.

Advantages include:
High quality, rugged design for trouble-free operation
Simple construction for ease of maintenance
Up to four units may be used with one mounting plate

Contact CenterLine for specific information concerning styles and availability.

Male Cap Extractor


To separate CenterLine tips from their adapter shanks the easy way,
use the CenterLine Male Cap Extractor. Its beveled edges are
radiused to match the shank diameter, increasing wedging action
(and eliminating jaw adjustments). Jaw openings contact most of the
shank circumference (instead of only two points), resulting in much
less damage to the shank and tip.
CLEX-45, for 4 and 5 RW taper shanks
CLEX-56, for 5 and 6 RW taper shanks

Electrode Extractor
Use the Special CenterLine Electrode Extractor for removing caps from
shanks and die bodies.

CLASS 2

Skin: Irritation with possible discoloration of skin (Copper).


On broken skin, can cause granulomatous lesions (hard lesions
with a central non-healing core) (Beryllium). Cobalt can cause
an allergic sensitivity even with very low exposures. Often
expressed as eruptions in creases of elbow, knee, ankles and neck.
Inhalation: Upper respiratory tract irritation, metallic taste in
mouth, nausea, metal fume fever (sensation of chills and stuffiness
of the head and weakness). Possible lesions on nasal passages.

passages (Copper). Cough, substernal pain, moderate shortness of
breath, some weight loss (Beryllium). Chronic Beryllium disease
can exhibit these symptoms plus weakness and fatigue. Severity
can be from non-disabling to severely disabling. High Cobalt
inhalation levels can cause asthma-like symptoms to interstitial
pneumonia with fibrosis in severe cases.
Eyes: Metal particles penetrating the eyes may cause irritation
discoloration and damage.
