Stud energy storage welding machine maintenance

What is energy storage welding?

Energy storage welding is most commonly used for welding studs with smaller diameters. The principle involves the release of stored energy from a capacitor at the moment the stud contacts the base material, causing the area where the stud and the base material meet to melt and weld together.

How long does it take to weld a stud?

Select the appropriate weld process (short cycle/drawn arc). The operating mode selector switch setting determines the weld time range. Short cycle process: 10 ms – 100 ms Drawn arc process: 0.1 s – 1.0 s Load a stud into the gun’s stud holder. For welding with ceramic rings, the ceramic ring holder must be loaded correspondingly.

What is a stud welding process?

According to DIN 1910-100, the stud welding processes are to be assigned to arc pressure welding. This weld process generally welds peg-shaped connection elements full surface to the workpiece. 4.2 “Welding gun connection”). Usually, this process is called the “normal” stud welding process.

Do stud welding systems need special care?

The stud welding system requires no special care. The required cleaning tasks for the gun and sorter can be found in the specific devices’ operating manuals. For the INTRA 2100/1400 welding device, the following cleaning tasks are required. Here it should be noted:

What is normal stud welding?

Usually, this process is called the “normal” stud welding process. It is generally used in a diameter range from 3 mm to 25 mm with weld times up to 1 second. The INTRA 2100/1400 compact devices allow welding of maximum diameters of

How do stud welding guns work?

Stud welding guns are used to hold the studs and move them in proper sequence during welding. There are two basic power supplies used to create the arc for welding studs. One type uses dc power sources similar to those used for shielded metal arc welding. The other type uses a capacitor storage bank to supply the arc power.
