Settings; Adjusting The Charging Voltage And Lift Time On The Stud Welding Device; Device Adjustment Tables - Soyer BMS-9 Operating Instructions Manual

11 Settings

The stud welding device and gun must be matched and adjusted for the respective work.

11.1 Adjusting the charging voltage and lift time on the stud welding device

In the following, it is described how the charging voltage and lift time/height of lift are
adjusted.
In order to achieve an optimal stud welding result, carrying out some test welds with
different settings is necessary.
Adjustment of the lift time refers only to special gap welding guns with lifting magnets
(not the contact welding guns with type designation "-K").
The charging voltage to be set on the stud welding device depends, among other things,
on the following influencing factors:
• Material of the workpiece
• Thickness of the workpiece
• Material of the welding stud
• Diameter of the welding stud

11.1.1 Device adjustment tables

The values given in the following tables can be useful as guide values for an initial
sample weld.
Charging voltage
Information on the stud diameter (Ø) is shown on the front panel of the stud welding
device. This enables fast preselection of the charging voltage. The corresponding
threaded stud is indicated in the tables on the following page.
After the preselection key has been pressed, the values for the charging voltage
indicated in the tables are displayed on the welding device. The values can be changed
with the ↑↓ arrow keys.
The preselection keys show proposal values for a charging voltage which, from
experience, is approximately that required for welding a stud with the selected
diameter. This value is a reference value that has to be modified with the arrow
keys when carrying out test weldings.
The value adjusted with the arrow keys is saved even after switching the device
off. It remains unchanged until a new value is entered.
