Integration
Can a Dukane probe mount on my own actuator or robot?
Yes. Probe systems are designed to mount on the builder's own motion, with the generator controlled by the machine's PLC.
How does the generator connect to my machine controls?
Automation-ready generators provide I/O for start, stop and status. EAC will confirm the interface for your controller.
Probe system or stand-alone servo press?
A probe on your own motion is economical where space is tight and the weld is simple. For hermetic seals that need recorded position data, a servo press station is often better.
Tooling
Why does horn design matter so much?
The horn delivers the energy to the joint. Its shape and tuning decide whether the weld is consistent.
Does Dukane design the fixture too?
Yes. Dukane designs horns, tooling and fixtures around the part.
Are hand-held welders suitable for production?
For spot welding, staking and low-volume work, yes. For repeatable high-volume welds, a fixed station is better.
