SETTING UP & WELDING At this point the pistol setting method differs dependent on the type of pistol being used: SETTING THE C2 TYPE PISTOL Set the pistol spring pre-load to the appropriate setting for the stud/ material to be welded. This is achieved by twisting the rear end cap adjuster.
Page 10
SETTING UP & WELDING To do this place the pistol into the welding position, pressing down on the pistol until the stud is pressed back into the pistol and all three points of the tripod legs are firmly in contact with the work surface. With the pistol held firmly in this position.

SETTING UP & WELDING Visually inspect the weld. A good weld will result in an all round weld with a small visible witness of spatter surrounding the flange of the stud. A cold stud weld is noticeable by undercutting of the flange and lack of / minimal formation of spatter.
WELD ASSESSMENT/TESTING Visual examination of weld quality can, even with limited experience, provide a useful quality assessment. In such a check the presence of a small even witness of weld material around the base of the stud flange after welding should be ensured. Poor welds are indicated by excess metal on one side of the welded flange and/or the presence of an undercut or non-fused area between the stud flange and the parent sheet or plate.

METHODS OF STUD LOCATION Economic stud location may be obtained using any one of the following methods, depending on the type of work involved :- • Tripod leg assembly. • Nose cone assembly. • Extended leg assembly. TRIPOD LEG ASSEMBLY. This is generally used for low volume production and one off components.
