Transcell designs and manufactures load cells with some of the tightest precision and accuracy performance on the market today. Machine builders and system designers implement our load cells to create spot welding systems to maximize weld repeatability over the life of their machine.
Transcell combines quality components and industry-leading engineering to solve challenges that compromise the quality and performance of spot welding.
A load cell provides the primary force feedback within an automated spot welding system to maximize throughput and quality, resulting in a lower scrap rate, less rework, and, ultimately, greater confidence in the output of the machine.
Some industries that rely on Transcell Technology:
Pancake Compression Disk Load CellsSpot welding machines rely on our Pancake Compression Disk Load Cell for real-time force feedback. Available in a wide range of capacities, this popular transducer for spot welding applications offers exceptional accuracy, repeatability, and the small height required for a given force capacity. Pancake load cells mount in equipment using their integrated bolt circle.
Transcell designs and manufactures external and embedded signal processing instruments. Pairing our load cells with our signal processing instruments allows the native mV/V signal from the load cell to be converted to a high-level analog or a digital signal before reaching the machine controller.
Utilizing an external signal conditioner improves the serviceability of the measurement channel, while utilizing an embedded signal conditioner maximizes the ease of installation and use.
Transcell also offers a range of digital readouts that visually display the real-time or peak force applied by the welding system. Many of our readouts can include multiple relay triggers, so that a system receives a high/low signal that indicates when a given force threshold has been achieved.
The Transcell Engineering Team includes load cell designers, electronic hardware engineers, and software and firmware programmers. This variety of expertise and vertical integration allows Transcell to create customized and comprehensive solutions for our customers while maintaining cost leadership among premium load cell manufacturers.

Resistance spot welding is a form of welding process that is primarily used in welding two or more metal sheets together. The process involves applying electric current and pressure to the spot weld area.
Changes in resistance spot welding force can introduce defects into products, limit throughput, and threaten the product’s safety. The appropriate force combined with the electrical current ensures a quality weld.
Yes. It is possible to retrofit force transducers into existing resistance spot welding equipment.
The electrode force can impact the spot welding process in many ways. For instance, a high force could cause extreme indentation, sheet separation, workpiece distortion, and asymmetrical welds.
