Welding machines for vehicle and body repairs
Car repair shops, body shops and body repair shops worldwide have been relying on ELMA-Tech welding machines for years. Especially the Plug & Weld spot welding machines with their fully automatic welding process control, the aluminium welding function and the integrated quality assurance system offer body shops the ultimate in technologically leading spot welding technology.
The reason for this? Because ELMA-Tech spot welding technology has always been developed in close connection with the requirements of the automotive industry and is in practical use in its pilot halls, pre-assemblies, reworking stations as well as in small series production.
For this reason, our machines already weld aluminium, magnesium or new composite materials such as Litecor (ThyssenKrupp, Germany).
With spot welding machines and arc welding machines from ELMA-Tech you are technologically on the safe side and invest in the welding technology of tomorrow with the materials of tomorrow! We have the automotive welding technology for you!
The automotive industry trusts ELMA-Tech - when can we show you your future welding machine?
The Plug & Weld principle means fully automatic spot welding
The "Gesellschaft für Schweißtechnik International mbH / Schweißtechnische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt SLV Duisburg*" judges in its investigation report of 11.03.2015:
"For the adjustment of the system, no deeper knowledge of welding technology is required if the operation mode "VISION SPECIAL" is used. The parameters, including the electrode force, are set fully automatically by the instrument software. [...]"

Fully automatic spot welding in vehicle collision repair.
An efficient solution for your car repair shop!
Understanding "Fully Automatic"
What many customers and our competitors think about a fully automatic welding process:
- Detection of total sheet thickness …
- Detection of the type of material …
in order to choose a predefined set of parameters from a data base with this information.
How ELMA-Tech understands about a „fully automatic welding process“:
- Regulating the energy input automatically
- Detection of total sheet thickness
- Detection of the type of material
- Detection of shunts / bypasses
- Detection of partial insulations and how to treat this automatically
- Automatical adjustment of the energy input during the welding process
Every spot is successful due to innovative process control Virtual Machine
ELMA-Tech spot welding with
"Spot-by-Spot Quality Management"!
The virtual machine (VM) is an innovative control technology with integrated quality management. It monitors the joining process over the entire welding process duration, starting with the determination of the initial situation of the joint through the development of the nugget and its completion.
The result is displayed via a QS light on the control panel of the VM. With optional software, there is a welding data record / welding data documentation.
