stud welding equipment

Controllers

British built to BS 5750 (ISO 9000), of robust construction and fully portable. High reliability and long working life is obtained by using grade one soak tested components and extensive durability testing. Power options enable stud diameters of 1mm to 30mm to be welded. Some controllers can power up to four handtools.

Handtools

Strong, comfortable, light and well balanced. Weld controls is via adjustments to spring pressure or lift, which only take a few seconds. The shaft bearing systems produce highly accurate results; +0.25mm can be obtained. The heavy spring pressure of the Drawn Arc tool combines with the hydraulic damper to overcome ferrule hangup and give excelent fillet control. There are many accessories to enable welding into inaccessible places and keep noise levels low.

Bench Mounted Systems

A simple mounted system comprises a handtool or production head clamped in a drill stand, the addition of a foot switch speeds production. The Universal Bench operates pneumatically and is suitable for larger components. The manual X - Y System gives higher productivity and is best where stud positions are numerous. Twin linear bearings ensure the production head is highly accurate. If stud loading time is significant then a semi or fully automatic stud feed system should be considered.

CNC X - Y Systems

These give the fasted and most accurate results abd utilise automatic stud feed. Each system is custom built according to size, speed, accuracy and cost considerations. The welding head, production table or both may be driven positionally. Accuracies of +0.15mm from a fixed datum can be achieved.
