i5 Ford Europe OEM Approval

Monday, March 27, 2017

Pro Spot's i5 SMART Spot Welder has been approved by Ford Europe!

The i5 is designed to handle all new ultra high strength steels including Boron. The operator can choose between two different modes AUTO and MANUAL for the two-sided spot welding.

Take a closer look at the i5 features:

SMART: Auto Mode – The SMART Auto mode the i5 measures metal thickness automatically using the latest optical technology. The i5 then senses the metals to be welded from a pre-delivered current to determine the type of metal. Based on the thickness and resistance feedback data the i5 delivers the correct weld power every time regard- less of type of metal, thickness or corrosion protection between the metals.

Double-Acting Spot Welding Gun – This great feature of the i5 spot gun allows the operator to reach over common (but hard to get to) weld areas with ease. Areas such as rear body panels, roof panels and radiator supports. Just push the Press to SPREAD top switch and the gun pneumatically spreads the tips apart to reach over the wide areas. Welders without this feature have to have the arm unbolted and physically moved. With the i5 no need to let go of your grip just push the button.

Welding Amperage –The i5 features a new medium frequency trans-gun capable of delivering 14,500A with 1,243 lbs (565 daN) of electrode force.

Upgradable – Keep the i5 up to date with the latest software. Update to the latest vehicle specs and keep the i5 ready for any job. Data can be uploaded and downloaded to the i5 via USB. No flash cards required.

Liquid Cooled – The same versatility and ease of use that Pro Spot has made a standard in the industry, but with the added functionality of a 5 gal. (20L) radiator looped cooling system all the way to the weld caps.
