Starting-up In this chapter you learn what to observe during setting-up and starting-up of the welding gun. Requirements of Workplace The welding gun protection is to class IP 20. Do not use the welding gun in humid environment! Vapors and airborne particles may occur during stud welding operations.
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.
Plug the control cable of the welding gun into the appropriate connection of the power unit. Twist the retaining nut of the control cable connector clockwise to secure the connection. The welding gun cables must not be coiled during welding. Coiled cables work as a coil and may negatively affect the welding result.
Connect the ground clamps to the workpiece as securely as possible. Take care to ensure good contact and symmetrical connec- tion. The welding location must lie directly between the two ground clamps. Change Working Place Switch off the power unit. In this way, you avoid any risk of electrical shock.
Function In this chapter you learn more about the design of the welding gun and how to use the various setting options. Components of the Welding Gun The body of the welding gun consists of a sturdy two-part plastic housing (1). The control cable and the welding cable (2) are connected through the welding gun handle to the welding gun.
Adjustment of Chuck Various chucks for different stud diameters are available as unit accessories (see appendix). Select the chuck which fits the diameter of your welding element. Put the welding element into the chuck. In the chuck, there is an adjustable stop pin.
Retighten the retaining nut. Retighten regularly and carefully the chuck at the four segments (see figure below, at the visible end of the chuck) using pliers to ensure a proper current transition. This will prevent early wear through spark erosion. Installation of Chuck Put the chuck with loose retaining nut up to the stop into the piston of the welding gun.
Adjustment of Spring Force The adjustment piece spring force can be turned by max. 360°. Forced turning with noticeable resistance of the adjustment piece spring force can result in mechanical damage of components. Twist the adjustment piece spring force clockwise, until the ‘min’ position is reached.
Stud Welding Procedure This chapter contains the basics of stud welding, how you must actually proceed, and what must be observed. You learn to select correct welding parameters and which welding elements can be used. Safety Instructions Improper operation of the power unit is LIFE-THREATENING! Threat to life –...

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.

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 official bodies immediately.
Functional Principle of Stud Welding Stud welding with tip ignition is divided into gap stud welding and contact stud welding. 5.2.1 Contact Stud Welding – The welding gun is placed onto the workpiece (figure 5.2.1, position 1). The welding element which projects above the welding gun support legs, is pushed back tensioning a pressure spring.
Welding Preparation Read the safety instructions in chapters 1, 3 and 5. Observe the workplace requirements (chapter 3, ”Starting-up"). Check all cables and connections for proper condition. Replace immediately defective cables and cable connections to avoid electrical shocks. Check the chuck for proper seat (see operating manual of according power unit). Before welding, make sure that the bellows are checked for damage and proper seat.

Example: welding parameters for welding gun C 08 in connection with power unit CD 1501 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).
Welding Procedure Improper operation of the stud welding unit is LIFE-THREATENING! The stud welding unit must only be operated by qualified personnel (see chapter 1). Observe the safety instructions in chapters 1, 3 and 5. Prepare the stud welding unit, the ground connection and the workpiece according to the instructions given in the operating manual.
Checking the Quality of the Weld You can check the quality of the weld by means of a visual inspection and a bending test. See also actual standards in the appendix “Arc stud welding of metallic materials“, in section irregularities and corrective actions 5.7.1 Visual Inspection...
5.7.2 Bending Test You can purchase from HBS a bending device with inserts for various diameters of the welding elements. The bending test serves as an easy work sample and as a check for the selected welding parameters. The welded joint is stressed by bending in a non-defined way.

Bending Test Type of fracture Possible cause Corrective actions Base material buckling - Correct parameters - none Fracture in the welding element - Correct parameters - none above flange Fracture in the weld metal - Heat input too low - Increase charging voltage - Plunging speed too low - Increase plunging speed - Welding element/base material...
5.7.3 Arc Blow Effect A so called arc blow effect 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 deflection of the arc. It causes a single- sided melting of the stud material, increased pore formation, and undercuts in the welding area.
Malfunctions and Corrective Actions Malfunction Possible cause Fault finding Corrective action Carried out by Welding elements Wrong w elding Check charging Change adjusted Instructed personnel not firmly attached parameters selected voltage on pow er unit parameters Check spring force of Change adjusted Instructed personnel w elding gun...
Welding Elements The stud welding unit must be suitable for welding the welding elements to be used. Observe the instructions in the operating manuals. Welding elements manufactured with the cold formed process have a flange and an ignition tip (see actual standards in the appendix). During welding, the flange prevents the arc getting to the cylindric part of the welding element and increases simultaneously the welding area.
