T. J. Snow Resistance Welding Machinery, Supplies & ServiceA bend shank in resistance welding is a specialized electrode holder component with one or more bends, designed to allow the electrode cap to reach into tight, restricted, or obstructed areas of a workpiece that a straight electrode couldn't access, acting as an offset adapter between the main electrode holder and the replaceable electrode tip. These shanks, often used with male or female caps, provide a cost-effective way to create offset tooling for complex welding geometries.
