Chapter 1: Meet the Sunstone CDSP The Sunstone CDSP is a single-pulse, capacitive discharge fine-spot welder, available in a 100 or 200 Ws mod- el. Capacitive discharge (or CD) welders, like the CDSP, perform strong and repeatable welds for high levels of consistency and quality control.
Miscellaneous resistive welding applications • Research and development After you’ve carefully reviewed the users guide and had a chance to use the welder, you’ll find that Sunstone welders are the best fine-spot welders available. What is Capacitive Discharge Resistance Welding? Whether you’re a novice hobbyist or experienced industrial welder, you should review the science behind CD...
This weld configuration requires more weld energy. Weld Energy The Sunstone CDSP allows you to adjust the amount of stored energy to be released via an energy adjustment dial. The energy is then displayed in watt seconds on the front panel of the CDSP.
Weld Actuation The Sunstone CDSP is actuated by means of an external trigger port located on the back of the welder (see (B) in Figure 5.1). The trigger uses a DIN 3 connector and requires shielded wire. Figure 4.1 shows the proper pin placement for custom external trigger cables.
How to Set Up Your Weld Head Sunstone manufactures a variety of weld heads to accommodate a diverse range of welding applications. Sun- stone’s parallel and opposed weld heads provide a great amount of control and precision. Reference Figure 5.1 and follow these instructions to set up your Sunstone weld head: •...
How to Set Up a Hand Attachment Sunstone manufactures a variety of welding hand pieces to accommodate a diverse range of welding applica- tions. Hand piece welding attachments allow ease of use and versatility. Reference Figure 5.1 and follow these instructions to connect a hand-held attachment to the Sunstone CDSP: •...
Chapter 3: How to Operate the Sunstone CDSP If you’ve completed the process of setting up the CDSP, connecting either a weld head or hand-held attach- ment, and have plugged the welder power cable into an AC power outlet, then you’re ready to get to work. Make sure you have reviewed all safety items found on the front, inside cover of this users guide.
(ws). How to Adjust Pulse Width Sunstone single pulse welders allow a large degree of control over the entire welding process. The energy Figure 8.1. Turn the Pulse Width dial (A) to adjust pulse width stored and released with each weld discharge can be between 0.1% and 100% of the total stored energy.
Table 1, as well as a function of the welding load (resis- tance). Each Sunstone welder is fully adjustable between its minimum and maximum energy. The Sunstone CDSP has a repetition rate of up to 120 welds/min. See Table 4 on page 11 for additional details on weld repetition rates.
