Innovative • Professional • Dependable

Resistance welding is one of the most productive and competitive joining techniques widely applied in automotive, electrical and electronics as well as other metal processing industries. In order to fulfil the increasing demands for higher quality joint and lower cost production, the technology has been vitally pushing forward with development and innovation in resistance welding equipments, process control techniques as well as new methods for development and optimization.

There has been a great demand from industry for the information of new developments and applications of resistance welding as well as access to the experts in resistance welding. Through organisations of the series of International Seminars on Advances in Resistance Welding and other collaborative activities, the Innovative Resistance Welding Network, INNOWELD.NET, has been established since November 2002, which serves as the seminar organiser and an information centre to link professional people and organisations working in resistance welding thus to benefit the industrial users of resistance welding.
 
 

Objectives:

The objectives of the INNOWELD.NET are to advance the developments and applications of resistance welding in industry, to promote the dissemination of new developments in resistance welding to industrial members and users of resistance welding, thus to strengthen the link between the suppliers and users of resistance welding technology.
