A new series of compact colour digital weld monitors, designed to measure and monitor current, voltage and displacement is currently available from Townsend Coates. Available in three different models, the products can be configured to meet virtually any set of requirements for multi-channel weld monitoring (Plate 3).

Manufactured by Unitek, the MG3 series features a highly flexible, full colour run screen, which can be set-up in four quadrants enabling display of numerical and/or waveform information for current and voltage from two welding stations simultaneously. A zoom function expands any quadrant to fill the whole screen with one parameter, if required. Built-in SPC capabilities, including histograms and run charts, enable users to obtain visual information on the consistency of a weld process providing early identification of process variations before they become production problems. Standards-based communications interfaces and built-in compact flash support seamless uploading of raw or summary data to SPC and QA monitoring programs.

The basic model provides two channels of current and voltage, allowing simultaneous monitoring of two welders. The next model provides two channels of current and voltage and one channel of displacement monitoring, and the third model features two channels of current and voltage and two channels of displacement monitoring.
