  • Page 12: Setting Up And Welding

    SETTING UP & WELDING SETTING UP & WELDING Set up the control unit at the place of work, ensuring that the mains switch is in the OFF position. Ensure that this is done in line with the notes and safety recommendations on pages 9 through 11 of this manual.
  • Page 13 SETTING UP & WELDING Select an appropriate pistol for use with your controller. Taylor Studwelding Systems Ltd controllers are designed to operate with a range of appropriate CD welding pistols. Be sure to consult the operating guide accompanying the pistol before connection and use.
  • Page 14 At switch ON the controller will briefly charge to 35V on the VOLTAGE display and the MODE display will read “TAYLOR STUD CD MULTIGUN” Within 5 seconds the MODE display will change to “Welding Mode” and the VOLTAGE display will change to match the voltage shown in the MODE display.
  • Page 15 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.
  • Page 16 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.

  • Page 20 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.
  • Page 21: Weld Assessment / Testing

    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.
