VeriFast™ IA

Smart Pin Sensing System

The VeriFast™ IA (Integrated Amplifier) Fastener Detection Solution is CenterLine’s latest system for monitoring weld pin position, an important part of the projection welding process.

Main Features

• Ability to sense:
  • fastener presence and orientation at the point of weld
  • piloted and non-piloted nuts
  • welding stud lengths
  • infinite weld pin positions (fully extended, fully retracted, etc.)
  • measurement of projection collapse
• Uses standard, readily available consumables.
• Compact design.
• Easy to set up and maintain.
• Available in two standard pin stroke lengths, 22 mm & 50 mm.
• Real time linear position is communicated from the electrode to the monitoring system and can be calibrated to indicate actual measurement.

Why use a VeriFast™ IA?

The VeriFast™ IA technology has many unique & beneficial features derived from its core principles of operation and the materials and techniques used in its construction.

• Extreme accuracy - The VeriFast™ IA system has an extremely high measurement resolution. When considering system signal noise, the practical resolution is 0.0009” (0.02 mm), enabling the system to detect minute changes in process conditions effectively.
• VeriFast™ IA weld bodies are wired directly to the control system without the need for a Signal Conditioner, making the installation process faster and easier.
• Unaffected by foreign matter such as grease, oil, water and weld dust. The IA coil is contained inside the CenterLine weld body.
• Extended mechanical life - There is no contact between the core and coil of the VeriFast™ IA; no parts can rub together or wear out. This results in lower maintenance costs and extended mechanical life.
• Environmentally robust - Internal shield minimizes the effects of external AC or DC fields. Both the casing of the coil and the core are made of corrosion-resistant metals.
• Standard Solutions - VeriFast™ IA is available in a large assortment of styles and weld body sizes to support process requirements.
• Robust low-pressure molded connector.
