5 FAQs Welding Cables For Resistance Welders, Robotic Welders

The most frequently asked questions at Cal Manufacturing, Inc "Calcables" provide solutions at your fingertips, technical resources and content.

1.       Can you produce a cable even if someone else manufactured it before?  The simple answer is yes.   Cables utilized in spot welding, resistance welding, robotic welding originate from the OEM; however, it is not necessary to track back the manufacturer of the original equipment.  In fact, you may find that the product we manufacture is actually more efficient and effective incorporating the newest technology as well as aftermarket follow up to ensure correct placement, bend radius recommendations, etc.


2.      How do I figure out the correct cable I need?  First off, look at your welding equipment.  If there is a lot of pulse, kick or vibration during the weld process, consider extra-flexible copper braided rope as it reduces breakage, fraying and pulling apart.   Second, to determine the MCM (circular mill size) you need to know the duty cycle, current and length of the cable (always measured bolt hole center to bolt hole center).


Find the closest duty cycle on the left and use the multiplier on the right - this will give you the continuous duty current of the cable.

In Diagram 1, locate the length and follow up to the continuous duty current, angle over and you will find the correct MCM (circular mill size).

1.       How do you measure a shunt?  This is always a good question and a valid one, at that.  Copper laminated shunts come in literally thousands of designs from very small to extremely large depending on their application.   The measurements of a shunt include the overall length (factoring in bend radii if applicable), width and thickness (less clips).

My production line is down due to cable failure.  Calcables has the ability to expedite same day shipping for down production lines or other urgent needs.  
NEW, this year is a 
*  Two-day expedited shipping program as well for anticipated urgent needs.  Life happens at any time of the day and we make your emergency our emergency.

2.      What MCM are our cables rated to?  150 MCM is typically the smallest circular mill size, 250, 300, 325, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600, 650, 750, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000 are all available.  Specialty cables are available in sizes not listed; however, these are the most commonly ordered circular mill sizes.  Larger MCM cables are often utilized in induction heating purposes and these are also available upon request.

Frequently asked questions related to resistance welding, spot welding, robotic welding power leads/jumpers are not exclusive to the above; however, these are definitely the top five.  Technical support related to recommended cable placement, bend radius minimums, high temperature are all questions the engineers at CAL can answer for your individual equipment, welding cell, robotic welding. Find the closest duty cycle on the left and use the multiplier on the right - this will give you the continuous duty current of the cable.

Go Big Or Go Home - With the Swivel King

Swivel King...it's a trademark name that sounds like an 80's dance maneuver; however, it's actually a component of a welding cable specifically designed for the robotic welding industry.  


The automotive industry utilizes the Swivel King on a welding cable as it allows the weld head to twist 180 degrees in either direction.  Technicians working on placement of the robotic welders received the greatest benefit from the Swivel King due to the fact that with as little as 15 lbs of pressure the cable will twist 180 degrees relieving stress on the shoulders, arms and wrists.

This is good news when it comes to workman's compensation injuries that occur due to repetitive movements such as carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain and ligamentus type injuries to the shoulders and arms.


From the Design Phase


To the Implementation Phase...complete with aftermarket care and followup.


Regardless of your industry, the Swivel King is a solid investment saving valuable dollars over time in replacement cables, undue wear on the welding equipment and to prevent repetitive strain type injuries in manual jobs, choose the Swivel King welding cable for robotic welding equipment in automation

Which Welding Cable Are You?

Have you ever seen the noxious quizzes, particularly on social media sites such as Facebook, that allure you to tap the link to see "Which State Are You?"  or even better "Which Disney Character Will You Marry?"   Guilty as charged..I have sat glued to my LCD screen taking social media quizzes and then posted the result to Facebook like some kind of victory badge.  As I recharge the lost brain cells in this process we switch to the quiz, "Which Welding Cable Are You?"   This may not be a quiz, but it is certainly a question we have attempted to answer on a daily basis.  Identifying welding cables in the field can be challenging particularly if you are dealing with a customer via email or on the phone and cannot personally inspect the welding equipment.  There are, however, a few things that you can do to correctly identify your customer's cable sight unseen.

Measuring the cable.  This is probably the simplest way to identify a welding cable in the field.  Utilizing a tape measure, having the customer measure the length of the cable hole center to hole center will provide the overall length.  Identifying the circular mill size or width of the cable can be determined by measuring the circumference of the cable even with the nonconductive black hose covering.

Visual identification.  All welding cables should be clearly stamped with the circular mill size and length.  A visual identification will tell you if the nonconductive black hose covering is clamped on or sits loose.  If the covering is clamped on with bands, the cable is water cooled.  If the covering is sitting loose on the cable it is an air cooled cable.

Terminal ends are a little bit more tricky to identify; however, once it is established whether the cable is air cooled or water cooled, the terminal ends are a little easier to identify.

Copper terminals are always utilized on welding cables; however, they may be silver plated.  The terminals are all engraved with the circular mill size on one end.  Over time and with use, this may become a little more difficult to see, but it should still be visible.  Measuring the flat surface of the cable is important as well as identification of the holes (for attachments onto the machine and with water ports).

Charts for weld ampacity.  When the information above is unavailable, it is possible to configure the weld ampacities and identify an appropriate cable utilizing a formula:

To determine the required MCM rating, it is first necessary to know: (1) the duty cycle, (2) current to be used and (3) length of the cable to be used, measured bolt hole center to bolt hole center.
Once this has been determined, proceed as follows:
1. Find the closest duty cycle shown on the multiplier chart to the left. Take your current level and multiply it times the multiplier shown. This will give you the continuous duty current of the cable.


2. Refer to the chart below. Looking up from the length of your required cable, find the angular line closest to the continuous current level you just established. Then follow the angular line to the right for the MCM rating.


Identifying a welding cable for a customer can be frustrating when you are behind a computer or on the phone; however, asking a few simple questions, much like the noxious quizzes in social media, you can identify the correct welding cable. With technology and "Smart" phones, mobile photographs can also be extremely helpful to identify a part.  Technical support from the team at CAL is always available when you need a behind the scenes "expert" to sort out the correct cable information - let us make you the heroine in your customer's "Welding Cable Quiz".

Copper Bar Stock

Calcables uses a variety of different types of copper products for resistance welding cables, consumables.  Understanding the difference between them is an important factor not only in the product we produce, but the process of the product we produce.

Tellerium - Interesting Facts:

ATOMIC NUMBER - 52
ATOMIC SYMBOL: Te
ATOMIC WEIGHT 127.60
MELTING POINT 841.1 F
BOILING POINT: 1,810.4 F
 PHOTO:  Shows a NEW cable utilizing Tellurium - the machining process is cleaner, we use less in the way of saw blades to cut bar stock and have far less in the way of rejected parts.


This is 110 copper bar stock, shown on a USED cable.  I wanted to show a cable that has had some use so you can see that 110 cooper bar stock is not a bad choice and does, in fact, hold up very well in the welding environment.

The word Tellerium comes from the Latin word tellus which means earth.  Tellerium was discovered in 1782 by Muller von Reichenstein.  It was named by a German chemist, Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1798.

Tellurium is a silvery-white metalloid, its pure version has a metallic luster.  Crystalline tellurium is easily pulverised.  In its molten state, tellurium is corrosive to copper, iron and stainless stell.


Tellerium Used In Resistance Welding versus 110 Copper Bar Stock:

That scientific information is all fine and good, but when it comes to resistance welding cables, why does this matter?

Tellurium copper is readily available in the world wide market in rod, hex and rectangle (C14500). Tellurium is added to copper for machine-ability. The tellurium serves the same purpose as lead in free machining brass (C36000). Both lead and tellurium enter the grain boundaries to act as a chip release. Without tellurium in pure copper, machining is very gummy and chips will string. When detailed machining is needed, tellurium copper (C14500) is needed for high volume and detailed machining applications.You pay about $1.00/lbs. more for the C14500 but you will save yourself machining time and headaches.

Ask the experts at Calcables, which cable is right for you and have the peace of mind knowing our products are only the best, while still maintaining excellent price and delivery.

Calcables New Management Team: 4 Business Resolutions for 2014

Calcables New Management Team: 4 Business Resolutions for 2014: Watching television lately, it seems every other commercial is advertising gym equipment or a weight loss plan targeted to a consumer's...

4 Business Resolutions for 2014

Watching television lately, it seems every other commercial is advertising gym equipment or a weight loss plan targeted to a consumer's success in 2014.  Smart advertising, right?  Everyone has their own checklist for making 2014 a better year by losing a few pounds, getting into better physical shape, etc.  Apply that to your business and it is slightly different, but the theme is definitely the same.  What's really "hot" for making business boom in 2014 that is worth a look?

1.  Google Search Engine, Google Plus, Etc.  Google recently stated that they do approximately two tweaks to their algorhithm every day.  If your business has the advertising dollars to spend, Google has the tools to push your website to the stratosphere.  Simply stated, you can outposition your competition just by having a better website, which translates into being able to offer better products, services and enhancing the visitor's experience to your website.

2.  The age of the "Smart Phone".   It can definitely be said that smart phones (Androids, iPhones, etc), have moved into the market and are here to stay.   Busy executives, management are utilizing the tools for "mobile status" to plan their day, execute email, run conferences, etc.  Every smart business owner is looking at the mobile website versions and applications they can offer to make visits to their website user friendly by mobile users.

3.  Actually looking at "Stats, Facts, and Audience" that your website is generating.  Where is your website traffic coming from?  Break that down further into what search engine they use to enter your site.  This is valuable information that Google is smart enough to recognize and make it simple and easy for any tech savvy or non-tech savvy business owner.  This is valuable information and a great tool to tell you what is working with advertising and what is not.

4.  SEO/social media sites and "grouping your statuses"  What does that mean?   Hoot Suite and several others have an all in one "tweet" if you will, to save busy business owners time and money by posting one status or tweet in one place in all of your social media sites all at once.  Hoot Suite is definitely easy to use and saves valuable time logging in to Twitter, Facebook, Google Places, Tumblr, etc., to put up your photos, sales, savings, discounts, new products, etc.  Wish I would have thought of that, but that's a whole different blog.

Of course, there are many other great places to push your business forward and advertise, advertise, advertise, just like Weight Watcher's and Bow Flex, catering to the audience of choice (couch potatoes?) to get them to buy your products.  Okay, so that is an easy example, that we can all understand and relate to, but when it comes to the computer and what tools to use and how to use them to target your market things get a little more difficult.   These are the easiest suggestions we can all use to push our business on the Internet and get going with some new resolutions to strive to thrive in 2014.

Plant Manager/Operations Manager - Mirror Challenges at Calcables

Plant Manager/Operations Manager - Face Challenges Together With A Common Sense/Cents Approach:


Learn about the differences between a  plant manager and operations manager.

HOW THEY'RE ALIKE

supply chain manager in warehouse
These two job titles are often used interchangeably and while they do indeed share many common traits, they each have a set of roles and purposes that are entirely unique.  These positions mirror each other, and are interdependent with each other.  The plant manager is considered a subset of operations management because it is just one part of the entire production operation. But they do share a similar end goal: to enhance the bottom line by reducing costs and increasing efficiencies.
How they achieve this at Calcables?
Plant Manager, Russ Hayward, is an integral part of the management at Calcables, pulling together the whole team like a "connect the dots" puzzle.   In a world where businesses are utilizing management techniques such as Kanban, JIT and Kaizen, our smaller business is combining the resources of the plant manager and operations manager with "common sense/cents" management.  It makes sense, because our management team is focused on the value of your "cents."
Operations Manager, Cheryl Benson, holds the giant bucket of fiscal responsibility while overseeing the whole picture and helping assign new development to the team, trusting the management to hone out the fine details and achieve the desired quality results.
Operations management focuses primarily upon activities that happen within a company's walls to manufacture a product or service. This includes formulating policies, managing the daily operations and workflow, overseeing workers, and participating in the design, planning and the physical production of the product. In short, it's the giant bucket that contains all of the smaller buckets of jobs necessary to complete the goal.
Calcables is in an exciting phase of growth  With managers skilled in working with external partners to procure parts and raw materials needed to produce the product, create the inventory, and sell the product to outside markets. Our professionals evaluate suppliers and negotiate contracts with vendors. Because this role is a vital necessity, you can see why our management team thrives under the umbrella of our management team. Without materials, there are no products to manage and no need for workers to make the products.
Get to know our team better and get the inside knowledge of our new products launching in 2014, by contacting our plant manager/operations manager for more details.

The Calcables Spin on Just-In-Time (JIT) Manufacturing

Buzz words like JIT or Just-In-Time Manufacturing is the process directed at eliminating additional inventory by producing/ordering only the right amount of product needed at the right time.  Why?  Inventory that sits on a shelf adds cost with no value to the product.

Therefore, minimizing the non-value products or inventory that is not moving off of the production line is the goal to implementing JIT.  The result?  Supposedly, better on time delivery performance, better equipment use, less space requirements (for stocking inventory), lower costs, greater profits.

Is it always true?  Holding a certain amount of inventory in-house can certainly be of benefit in certain situations. Our economy is difficult to forecast (unless you have a crystal ball).  Not implementing essential planning can result in a higher cost to obtain desired materials with extra costs on expedited shipping or the cost passed on from a supplier to stop their production and expedite a product for an urgent need (if they provide this service).

In case you didn't know, JIT was founded, perfected and developed by a gentleman named Taiichi Ohno of Toyota.  He developed this philosophy to meet customer demands with minimal delays and primarily to produce goods so customer orders were met exactly when they needed the products.

Manufacturers employ various philosophies when it comes to managing their business effectively, JIT is just one of those.  We have all heard of "Lean Sigma", Kanban, Kaizen.   JIT which is also called "lean production" or "stockless production" is felt to be successful in reducing inventory levels to absolute minimum.  This, in itself, requires excellent coordination and communication between work stations.  Production flows are often set up so assembly lines are smooth and unimpeded eliminating bottle necks in production and is most applicable in automotive assembly "where every car undergoes the same production process as the one before."
    
Guidelines to Successfully Utilize JIT:

Calcables offers solutions to automotive assembly lines utilizing JIT as well as other similar production lines.  Semiconductor companies such as Calcables are too complex to completely utilize JIT; however, we offer solutions to the problems incurred by JIT philosophy:

1)  Encourage good preventative maintenance on all equipment utilized on production lines.  Scheduled maintenance provides regular review of semiconductor needs, and review of adequate semiconductors in stock.

2)    Consignment Implementation - Outsourcing the regular review of semiconductors/power leads utilized by the supplier lessens the burden of maintenance/purchasing with alerted messages (email or mobile) when inventory runs low.

3)     Cross train personnel to gain a flexible, educated and empowered workforce.
   

Successfully utilizing Just-In-Time philosophy (or Kanban, etc) is effective, efficient and economical; however, avoiding the pitfalls of JIT will keep this philosophy successful.  Calcables recommends  a few guidelines to ensure its success and avoiding the pitfalls of needing to order supplies such as semiconductors/power leads for unexpected down production lines which translates into huge unexpected costs/losses financially.  These extra costs include expedited shipping costs with freight (particularly around the holidays), costs associated with same day delivery (Calcables will swing into action to provide same day shipping of power leads; however, there are expedited costs in pulling off of our regular lines), as well as production team members unable to continue their assembly lines, not meeting production goals, etc.  The costs trickle down into a large lump sum of loss.  Thoughtful planning and coordination with your welding cable partner will provide cost effective solutions keeping your production lines up and running effectively.

Scheduled Maintenance Saves Your Business Valuable Dollars

Implementing "lean" manufacturing processes includes the maintenance of your robotic welders and the two weeks prior to the new year, January 1, 2014, is an ideal time to plan for maintenance.  Robotic welders as a part of automation equipment produces major benefits to your business including cost reduction, improved efficiency and consistent quality.  To achieve these benefits, a thorough maintenance program should be maintained and implemented to ensure 100% efficiency of operations.
Preventative maintenance includes taking steps to ensure equipment is clean and in good condition and thereby eliminating breakdowns which result in down production lines.  Replacing power leads and ensuring you have an adequate inventory of power leads is vital to ensuring your assembly line has no down production time.  This may also include cleaning, painting, lubricating and adjusting parts.
ADVANTAGES OF MAINTENANCE OF ROBOTIC WELDERS, SPOT WELDERS, RESISTANCE WELDERS, PRESS WELDERS INCLUDES:
  * Increased efficiency and speed of your welder.
  *Conserving on energy and life of your equipment.
  *Reducing costs associated with breakdowns - including cost of expedited parts and repairs.
  *Increased return on investment (ROI) and maximizing the life of your investment saving your time, costs and time of your employees.
Consignment Implementation is a program offered whereby your purchasing department can eliminate the need to manage inventory of your robotic welding power leads.  Calcables provides reports and automatic emails to purchasing allowing them to be alerted as to when supplies of any particular size power lead is low on inventory and can even automatically generate a purchasing order for recommended replacement which they will then approve and officially submit.
Regular maintenance consists of a simple daily inspection or more in depth maintenance on a scheduled basis.  Taking the time to make maintenance a priority and utilizing your welding cable partner, Calcables, your robotic welding equipment, spot welders, resistance welders will run efficiently and effectively.  Putting those valuable dollars associated with down time (actual costs for breakdowns are an estimated 4-5x more than routine maintenance costs) allows you to plan your budget concisely. Seriously, I don't know of a business owner that wants to forego purchasing new equipment or inventory due to unexpected valuable dollars that had to be re-allocated to breakdowns and down production lines.
All robots and automation equipment develop wear and tear over time, so maximizing their usable life makes sense both from a production and fiscal perspective. Don’t wait until your equipment is showing signs of failure, even a small component issue can create a ripple effect of major, long-term problems.
To better understand how Calcables can help your routine management of robotic welders, spot welders and various other pieces of equipment on your production line, contact us by clicking the "Calcables link" above, and let us start saving your business valuable dollars today.
