September 4, 2019 - Dengensha America, Bedford, Ohio, recently expanded its LinearWave Capacitor Discharge Welder product family to five, adding a second more affordable 50kA version that combines a standard NDZ Welder and a LinearWave controller. The complete LinearWave Welder family now incudes two 50kA versions, a 75kA welder that was also recently introduced, a 100kA welder, and a welder with 150kA capacity. LinearWave Capacitor Discharge Welders are ideal for welding high strength steel, aluminum, and large projection and ring projection parts.

LinearWave technology combines the capabilities of a Capacitor Discharge Welder (CDW) with a 15,000 Hz Bipolar Medium Frequency Converter (MFC). Better quality parts, optimum weld nugget quality, weld parameters that are easier to set, and energy savings are just a few of many benefits.

Better quality parts are provided because less thermal distortion and larger currents in shorter weld times are combined with the stability of a medium frequency converter. Better management of current flow provides optimum weld quality and weld nugget quality, while also generating energy savings as a welcome by-product.

LinearWave technology provides direct current configuration of weld current values which makes it easier to set parameters. LinearWave technology also maximizes waveform flexibility, which allows necessary parameter settings such as tempering, demagnetization, upslope, etc.
