SETTING UP & WELDING Ensuring that a stud has been loaded, position the stud at the location on the work piece where it is to be welded. Press down firmly on the pistol until all three points of the tripod (or the face of the nose cone if using instead) are firmly in contact with the work piece.

SETTING UP & WELDING SETTING UP & WELDING A cold stud weld is noticeable by undercutting of the flange and lack of / minimal formation of spatter. A cold weld is usually caused by too little energy and / or too high spring pressure. A hot stud weld is noticeable by excessive spatter formation and partial melting of the flange.
WELD SETTINGS The following pages (18 to 20) detail the suggested settings for the Multigun controller , both Contact & Lift Gap The setting charts were established with the performance of repetitive weld tests using the standard equipment's specified above, studs manufac- tured to the BS EN ISO 13918 standard, in the following materials : Mild Steel, Grade St37-3 Stainless Steel, Grade 1.4303...

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 compo- nents.
WELD ASSESSMENT / TESTING Visual examination of weld quality can, even with limited experience, pro- vide 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.
