  • Page 16: Starting-Up

    Starting-up In this chapter you learn what to observe during setting-up and starting-up of the power unit. Requirements of Workplace Vapors and airborne particles may occur during stud welding operations. Especially with surface treated materials, toxic vapors may be produced. Ensure that a fume extraction is available and that the room is adequately ventilated according to accident prevention regulations.
  • Page 17: Connecting The Power Unit To The Primary Power Supply

    Secure the following safety symbols in the area of welding place: THREAT TO LIFE to persons fitted with a pace maker Strong electro-magnetic fields occur in the vicinity of the stud welding unit during welding. Such fields may affect the proper function of a pace maker.

  • Page 24 THREAT TO LIFE by toxic vapors and airborne particles Toxic vapors and airborne particles may occur during stud welding operations, especially with surface treated materials. Ensure that a fume extraction is available that the room is adequately ventilated according to accident prevention regulations. If possible, do not weld in rooms which are lower than 3 meters.
  • Page 25 stud welding unit are prohibited and result in complete cancellation of any guarantee and liability claims against HBS. In case of any accidents whatsoever, advise a physician, your supervisor, and the o cial bodies immediately.
  • Page 26: Functional Principle Of Stud Welding

    Drawn-Arc Stud Welding The HBS stud welding unit operates by process of ‘arc stud welding with drawn-arc ignition’ according to the current standards (see appendix). The standards assign this method of joining pin-shaped elements with plane workpieces to the so called ‘Arc Pressure Welding’...
  • Page 27 – At the beginning of the welding process, the welding element (stud) in the welding gun is lifted clear o the workpiece by a lifting device (solenoid). An initial switched current triggers a pilot arc of a low current power (see position 2). Then the main arc ignites between the face area of the welding element and the workpiece.
  • Page 28: Drawn-Arc Stud Welding With Ceramic Ferrule

    5.2.1 Drawn-Arc stud Welding with Ceramic Ferrule Drawn-arc stud welding with ceramic ferrule is used with welding elements of 3 to 25 mm diameter (preferably above 12 mm diameter) and with welding times of 50 to 2000 ms. It is generally suitable for all welding positions. When stud welding with ceramic ferrule, the welding position is PA (vertical).
  • Page 29: Short-Cycle Drawn-Arc Stud Welding With Shielding Gas

    The shielding gas in uences – the arc and the melting behavior of welding element and workpiece, – the development of the weld collar and the penetration shape via the surface tension. With stud welding with shielding gas, the shape of the weld collar is not reproducible, as the shielding gas has no forming e ects on the melt –...
  • Page 30: Drawn-Arc Capacitor-Discharge Stud Welding

    5.2.4 Drawn-Arc Capacitor-Discharge Stud Welding With drawn-arc capacitor-discharge stud welding, the welding energy is taken from a capacitor. As a result, welding currents are very high and welding times (< 10 ms) very short. Normally, a weld pool protection is not required. The process is mainly used for welding elements in a diameter range of up to 8 mm.
  • Page 31 Determination of welding time Data given in the following table are only guidelines. They must be verified by trial welds on the actual material according to actual standards and DVS guidelines (see appendix). Before you use another lot of welding elements, carry out some trial welds to verify the parameter setting.
  • Page 32: Switching On The Power Unit

    Switching on the Power Unit Improper operation of the stud welding unit is LIFE-THREATENING! First read the safety instructions in chapters 1, 3 and 5. Insert the primary plug of the power unit into an appropriate socket. Switch on the power unit with the mains switch. The digital display shows the adjusted charging voltage.
  • Page 33: Adjusting The Welding Time

    5.6.1 Adjusting the Welding Time Refer to the table in section 5.5 for the required welding time matching your welding job. Set the welding time (digital display) with the arrow keys ( higher – lower) on the display. 5.6.2 Adjusting the Gas Pre-Flow Time If working with shielding gas, you have to set the gas pre- ow time.
  • Page 34: Checking The Quality Of The Weld

    During the actual welding process, you must expect red-hot welding spatters, possibly liquid spatters, a flash, and a loud bang may occur > 90dB (A). Inform any collegues who are occupied in the vicinity of the welder about the bang. Wear always your personal protective equipment according to actual standards (see appendix).
  • Page 35: Visual Inspection

    - Plunging speed too high - Adjust plunging depth and/or damping factor 5.8.2 Bending Test You can purchase from HBS a bending device with inserts for various diameters of the welding elements. ARC 800 Order No. BA 93-10-0702A Issue 01.03.08...
  • Page 36 The bending test serves as an easy work sample and as a check for the selected welding parameters. Bend the welding element with the bending device once by 60°. Carry out the test in di erent directions. The bending test is passed if a crack or a fracture of the welded zone does not occur. Please note the instructions on fault recognition and corrective actions in chapter 5.
  • Page 37: Arc Blow Effect

    5.8.3 Arc Blow Effect A so called arc blow e ect can occur with unproportionally distributed ground connec- tions in relation to the base material mass, varying material distribution, or welding at the edge of a workpiece. This is an undesired de ection of the arc. It causes a single- sided melting of the stud material, increased pore formation, and undercuts in the welding area.
