The Power of Blue®

.SSW foot switch permits user to use both hands

to position weldment between tongs. Can be held

longer if longer hold time is desired.

All spot welders operate on single-phase input

power, and require an air supply of 60 PSI

(414 kPa) minimum.

SSW models are designed for stationary

use and come with an all-steel pedestal

which houses timers and controls.

SSW models come complete with:

Stationary welding head

Remote foot switch

Pedestal inclusive of controls

and timer

Air filter/regulator assembly

Order tongs/tips separately to

match your applications Air filter/regulator

assembly included.

Set-up/weld switch permits checking of

tong pressure and alignment without

making a weld.

Built-in squeeze/weld timer makes it quick

and easy to set or adjust squeeze and/or

weld time in hundredths of a second.

LED display makes it easy to read and

see timer settings.

Ten-step current control adjusts output current

with no change in duty cycle.

Cam-operated locking device simplifies

installation and adjustment of bottom tong.

Power switch/power “on” light/circuit breaker

protects control circuitry. Easy reset.

Adjustable tong pressure nuts to adjust tong

pressure for different thicknesses and applications.

Notes for tongs and tips:

Tongs and tips shown to the

left can be used with all PSW

and SSW model spot welders.

Recommended max. tong

length is 18 in (457 mm).

Tong throat-height dimension

for standard 90° and 45° tongs

is 4-1/4 in (108 mm). Throat

length is measured from the

center of the spot tips to the

front water hose connection.

X = tong length.

One set of tips is supplied with

each set of tongs.

Tips are made of RWMA Class

2 alloy.
