Key Features
- Capacitor discharge welding in 1–5 ms with a minimal heat-affected zone
- Almost no reverse marking on sheet from 0.5 mm
- Tolerant of galvanised and coated sheet
- High throughput for volume stud placement
- Compact and easy to integrate into a line
Typical Applications
- Appliance panels and enclosures
- Decorative metalwork and curtain wall components
- Automotive interior parts and thin-sheet assemblies
- Electronic housings and brackets
Selection & Setup Notes
Capacitor discharge stud welding handles the case of thin sheet that must show no reverse marking. For medium plate and load-bearing shear connectors, use the inverter arc stud welder. Both routes are compared in the stud welder section.
