Stud Welding Gun Engineered For High Performance and Durability

Stud welding allows threaded studs, weld pins, and head bolts to be quickly attached to metal workpieces via threaded holes. Due to its strength of weld joint formation, stud welding makes an invaluable fastening method in many industries.

Stud welding requires careful consideration due to its high temperatures and potential for metal splatter. However, there are tools and techniques available that can reduce risks in this process.

Reliable Mechanical Gap System

Stud welding differs from other welding methods by being hole-free; making it much more maneuverable and accessible compared to others that involve drilling, punching, tapping or riveting. Furthermore, this reduces leakage risk as well as corrosion risks.

Stud welding occurs quickly. An arc only needs to last a fraction of a second before de-energizing is complete and metal stud dives into pool of molten metal to form strong, reliable welds.

Ceramic ferrules, used to contain the molten pool of metal, help prevent splattering and create a consistent weld. The cable of the stud welding gun plays a pivotal role in channeling current from power source to weld tool; therefore, this wire must be strong enough to withstand high levels of current without overheating – just like any mechanical function, its performance must be tested regularly to ensure it can deliver sufficient pressure.

Infinitely Adjustable Spring Pressure Range

Stud welding creates strong and long-lasting connections with no visible damage or marking to the base sheet, as well as highly corrosion resistant weld beads capable of withstanding far greater loads than just those of its component stud. When done right, stud welding produces highly resilient connections without leaving behind visible evidence on its base sheet surface.

Utilizing capacitor discharge (CD) stud welding, threaded bolts, pins, hex head bolts, anchoring elements and other fasteners are welded onto surfaces quickly and accurately using capacitor discharge technology. The welds created are extremely robust while being visually appealing – suitable for all materials types.

As soon as a stud gun is activated, its internal lift system raises the stud to the surface and ignites an arc between its metal part and stud end. Once this arc has been established, the stud plunges downward with predetermined force to merge its two molten ends to create an entire weld – creating 360 degrees of consistent and even melting over its entirety, due to burn-in and an established welding timeframe.

Easy to Operate

Stud welding eliminates the need for drilling and tapping by employing its full-surface weld. This creates a more reliable connection that can withstand vibration without loosening, breaking, or weakening; saving both time and money with no manual or robotic processes required.

Load a metal stud equipped with a ceramic ferrule into the welding gun’s chuck and position it against your workpiece. When activated by a DC supply, this trigger activates an internal lift system which pulls away from the plate while drawing an electric arc between its tip and base metal.

Once the arc has closed, the gun automatically plunges the stud into a pool of molten metal to create a strong and reliable weld that outshouts both its base material and stud. Furthermore, this weld is leak-proof to ensure air and fluid lines in industrial machinery remain secured with no disruptions to productivity.

Easy to Clean

Stud welding, unlike screws or bolts which leave visible weld spots, is an inconspicuous process that only leaves small, unnoticeable marks on sheet metal’s back side. This fastening technique uses an electric arc to melt and fuse metal studs together with base materials, creating strong lifetime joints under high pressure with quick cooling times of the molten pool.

A stud is loaded into the gun, and stored energy is released through a special “timing” tip to initiate an arc between it and the workpiece. Next, de-energization occurs so that the lifting mechanism deactivates itself so the stud is plunged downward into a pool of molten metal which solidifies instantly to form an irreproachably strong weld zone that surpasses even its base material.

Drawn arc stud welding has many uses, from decorative panels and door hardware installation, to insulation systems with hidden welds for enhanced functionality and aesthetic. It can also help create refined looks while still being highly practical.
