The ultimate in suplicity and reliability, an axial-flow blood pump is supported by an all passive contact-free hybrid bearing suspension that can measure differential pump pressure. The preferred suspension consists of a radial hydrodynamic journal bearing with axial magnetic thrust bearings. The thrust bearing consists of repulsion magnet pairs positioned at each end of the rotor. This holds bidirectional loads with a stable restoring force (negative axial stiffness). Rotor axial position shifts with load and is monitored with a position sensor to inherently provide pump differential pressure (which may be used to physiologically control pump flow rate). The hydrodynamic radial and 'smart' axial magnet thrust bearings use large gaps to eliminate hemolysis and are actively washed out under pressure with fresh blood to eliminate thrombosis.

A method for ensuring that a spot weld electrode tip dressing operation is performed properly at each occurrence thereof. The method of the present invention takes advantage of an electrode wear compensation routine inherent to most spot weld robots. The method uses measurements of total tip wear as determined by the electrode wear compensation routine to calculate a difference in electrode wear between selected numbers of successive tip dressing operations. This value is then used to perform a comparison with the stored average tip wear per tip dress value, or a tip wear value derive therefrom, to conclude whether the tip dressing operation is operating properly.
