Publication number: 20100264125Abstract: An object of the present invention is to reduce the size of an entire device by simplifying a device configuration, and also accurately measure the stroke position of a rod. A lower electrode 2 is mounted on an upper portion of an electrode holder tube 3. A rod 4 that is vertically movable within the electrode holder tube 3 is divided into a first rod 4a and a second rod 4b. The rod 4 is urged upward by a compressed spring 5 that is interposed between a spring receiving seat 14 fixed to the upper end surface of the second rod 4b and an insulating adapter 7. Pressurized air supplied from a pressurized air supply pipe 15 to assist the urging force is received by a pressure receiving portion on the lower surface of the spring receiving seat 14, thereby assisting the spring 5 to urge the rod 4 upward. A magnetic sensor 10 is disposed below the second rod 4b, and a lower end portion of the second rod 4b is directly connected to a detector 17 of the magnetic sensor 10.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2010Publication date: October 21, 2010Applicant: SMK CO., LTD.Inventor: Masato HIDAKA

Patent number: 7078648Abstract: A curved electrode includes an installing portion to be installed in an electrode holder, an offset portion by which the offset amount is obtained, and a tip portion which comes into contact with the material to be welded W, the portions being formed separately and assembled together. A vertical hole and a horizontal hole are formed within the installing portion, an axis hole is formed within the offset portion, and a water supply tube is inserted into a cooling hole which is constructed of the vertical hole, the horizontal hole and the axis hole. C-chamfering or R-chamfering is conducted to a corner where the vertical hole and the horizontal hole intersect. An object of the present invention is to provide a curved electrode which can be manufactured easily at a low cost, and if a part of it is damaged, only that part needs to be replaced at a low cost. The durability of the curved electrode can be improved at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2005Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: SMK Co., Ltd.Inventor: Masato Hidaka
