Precise connection: SVS standards for micro welding electrodes

Each electrode is manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure precise current delivery to the smallest contact surfaces. The tip geometry is precisely matched to the required lens size. The surfaces are optionally coated or finished to prevent adhesion and reduce maintenance.

Our micro welding electrodes are available in various standard geometries. We precisely match the geometry and material to your fixture and process requirements. Upon request, we can manufacture customized designs based on drawings or samples.

Applications

The function of electrodes in micro welding

In micro welding, current is passed through the joining zone via two electrodes. The electrical resistance of the workpiece generates heat, which melts the material locally. At the same time, the electrodes exert force on the component and fix the position of the joining partners. Upon solidification, a material-tight bond is formed in the form of a weld nugget. The geometry of the electrode tip influences the current flow, heat input, and mechanical coupling.

Quality-relevant features of micro welding electrodes

  • Solid electrodes require conductive, temperature-resistant materials. For insert electrodes, the combination of working surface and wear-resistant tip is crucial for consistent current density, contact quality, and service life.

  • The surface finish influences current transfer and heat distribution. Smooth or coated surfaces prevent adhesion, facilitate cleaning, and ensure consistent contact quality.

  • Dimensionally accurate geometries ensure reproducible electrode positioning and secure the precise flow of force and current during the welding process. Their stability facilitates the transfer of welding parameters to identical systems without additional adjustments.

  • Electrode interface, length, and geometry must match the fixture and motion profile of the system. Only well-matched components maintain stable positioning and reproducible process control.
