Tip Dressers
Over 20 years ago Stillwater worked with a customer who was experiencing problems with their robotic resistance welding operation. Their resistance welding robots weren’t as effective as desired due to the build-up of material on the weld tip after multiple welds. Stillwater assessed the situation and designed a way to remove the weld build up from the welding tip more quickly and efficiently than other products on the market. Discovering this was a widespread need in the marketplace, Stillwater created a product line of tip dressers. We have continued to improve upon our design and, as a result, Stillwater tip dressers are still the most sought after tip dressers in the market with over 10,000 sold to date.
Stillwater tip dressers offer the following advantages:
- Lightweight, strong, and compact
- 6061-T6 wrought aluminum (no castings to crack or break)
- High torque values generated by heavy-duty gear train
- Electric or pneumatic motor
- Motor mounting options
- Multiple standard cutter styles
- Custom cutter designs
