Dukane Probe & Tooling Applications
Made in the USA
Builders use Dukane probe systems when welding is one station among many on an assembly machine and a stand-alone press won't fit. The probe rides on the machine's own motion, and the generator talks to the machine's controller.
Typical uses
Stations on dial and inline machines
A weld or stake station among assembly and test stations.
Robot-mounted welding
A probe on a robot or gantry reaching several points on a large part.
Multi-point welds
Several probes firing together on one part.
Staking and inserting
Setting metal inserts and staking bosses.
Stand-alone press or probe?
If the weld controls the product's quality on its own, particularly a hermetic seal needing recorded position data, a Dukane servo press is often the right station even inside a machine. Where the weld is simpler and space is tight, a probe on your own motion is usually more economical.
