Device for welding of welding elements
Component for storage of electrical energy.
Independent gas discharge between two electrodes
when the current is high enough. A whitish light is
emitted in the process. The light arc allows very
high temperatures to be generated.
Device for provision of the electrical energy for stud
welding
Electrical component that converts alternating volta-
ge into direct voltage
Device for automatic feeding of welding elements
Power unit including welding gun
Electronic component for contact-free switching of
high currents; switching takes place via the control
input
Component such as stud or pin that is welded to the
workpiece
Device for welding of welding elements
Mechanical and electrical settings at the welding
gun and at the power unit (e.g. spring force, char-
ging voltage)
Components such as sheet metal or tubes to which
the welding elements are to be fastened
