CW3 Converter Welder
The ATI Converter Welding Machine removes all the aggravation,
eliminates all the guesswork and produces a perfectly perpendicular,
beautifully welded, perfectly true, leakproof converter with
exacting internal clearances...one that you will be proud to
sell and confident to use.
You are choosing torque converter rebuilding equipment to produce
your own quality-built torque converters to use in-house and
to sell to other transmission shops. Choose a converter welder
with a proven track record. Choose a company that builds torque
converters.
Make sure your converter welder welds with the torch face down.
The weld bead should always be parallel to the floor to allow
the bead to "lay in" properly. ATI's unique CW3 rotates
90° so that even Chrysler types can be welded with the torch
facing down and the bead parallel to the floor allowing gravity
to work for you, not against you.
Having complete access to all machine functions while welding
a torque converter is a must. Therefore, when choosing a converter
welder, look for equipment that is "operator friendly"
with all functions right at the welder's fingertips. Total control
over each aspect of converter production assures a superior
product.
When researching converter welders, look for a welder that utilizes
all steel, heat-treated tooling. Avoid plastics! The tooling
should provide coverage of all converter types including most
imports. Other important features include simple pilot bushings
to locate the pilot and ground stand-offs for stud-type units.

Chuck
For repeatability |
OEM engineers have confirmed that the preferred method of holding
the pump half of a torque converter hub is by using an accurate
chuck. Their tests substantiate tests you can do yourself if
you use collets. Collets don't repeat. (The chuck on the CW3
is tested to repeat to within .0005" [five ten-thousandths
of an inch] for repeatability unparalleled in the industry.)
One of the final steps in the rebuilding process is welding
the two converter halves together. Rotational speed is critical
to weld quality and integrity. When choosing a welding machine,
demand a system with multiple weld speeds to accommodate a variety
of converter sizes.
Maintenance is essential to keep a converter welder performing
at its best. Look for a welder that is simple to clean
and requires little upkeep. The CW3 has the chuck spindle
bearings, face plate shaft bushing and face plate thrust
bearing completely sealed. Grease reservoirs are installed
to ensure proper lubrication for years of service.
