Abstract

In this paper, a new nail collator driver is proposed to improve nail collator. The control system of nail collator circuit is developed by programmable system on chip (PSoC). A flexible multi-pulse digital control method is proposed to reduce peak current. It has the advantages of averaging weld energy and minimum peak current. Furthermore, a novel driver circuit without dissipative resistor is proposed. It has advantage of high efficiency. Finally, the new nail collator driver is proved with high performances by experiments.
