Abstract

The permanent development of microelectronics technologies provide new challenges for miniaturization and complexity increasing for new packaging technologies. So the exciting applications for microsystems, sensors and actuators production are looking for the best quality hermetic sealing of metal packages. The paper showed our researches and experiments results for a new approach to quality assurance in resistance welding. These will analyze the main causes of weld failures and also our methods of determining its value. On the basis of this requirement have monitored through the weld sequence, integrated concept of power monitor. The technical features developed a modern concept applicable to a wider range of fields. Our monitor could be used to wide range of welding technologies like distributed spot and focused spot, projection, roller spot and mash welding machines, working with single or three phase, ac. or dc. The experiments with our equipment have proven its advantage for fast production assembly line.
