  • Page 5: Chapter 1: Overview

    Chapter 1: Overview Features Sunstone spot welders are simple to use with an intuitive and user-friendly interface. Each of the dual pulse, capacitive discharge welders can be adjusted and fine-tuned to match the requirements of countless applica- tions. When combined with Sunstone’s line of weld heads or hand attachments, dual pulse, capacitive discharge welders, such as the Sunstone CDDP, perform strong and repeatable welds for high levels of consistency and quality control.

    Sunstone’s dual pulse CD spot welding technology. Typically, the Sunstone CDDP welder is a suitable solution for the following types of applications: •...
  • Page 7: Tips

    Micro Welder Experts With energy in a stored state, your Sunstone CDDP welder pro- vides control over how the energy is released. The typical ca- pacitor discharge, as illustrated in Figure 3.1, reflects a classic curve. But with adjustments to your welder’s controls, you will be able to control how much energy is released in two pulses.
  • Page 8 This weld configuration requires more weld energy. WELD ENERGY Sunstone capacitive dual pulse welders allow adjustment of the stored energy via an energy adjustment dial. The energy is then displayed in watt seconds (Ws or Joules) on the front panel of the welder. See Figure 4.1 Figure 4.1.
  • Page 9: Chapter 2: Setup

    WELDER BEEPS Sunstone CDDP welders are equipped with a audible alarm (or beep) that, when enabled, will sound when the unit has reached the targeted weld energy. The alarm signifies that the unit is ready to weld. Operators can en- able or disable the alarm using a switch located on the back of the welder.

    Connect the power cord into the back of the welder and into an AC power outlet (D). • Turn the welder on by flipping the power switch (E) on the front of the welder. Figure 6.1. Back and Front panels of the Sunstone CDDP welder. 6 • Questions? Call or Text +1 801-658-0015...
  • Page 11: Weld Head Setup

    Sunstone manufactures a variety of weld heads to accom- modate a diverse range of welding applications, as shown in Figure 7.1. Both the parallel and opposed Sunstone weld head provides a great amount of control and precision. Follow these abbreviated instructions to connect a weld head to the CDDP.

    See Chapter 3 on how to select desired energy settings. Roll Spot Setup The Sunstone CDDP can be upgraded to accept a roll spot attachment (see Figure 8.1). With a roll spot, the operator can Figure 8.1. Roll Spot hand held attachment example.
  • Page 13 e Micro Welder Experts • Important: The system will NOT turn welds off while in RS mode. If the welder is turned on, the welder is active and will weld if a trigger signal is sent to the welder. • In SF mode, the unit will weld once per trigger signal.
  • Page 14: Chapter 3: How To Operate The Sunstone Cddp

    Select the desired weld energy by turning the Weld Energy adjustment knob (D). The LCD screen will display the energy level as you turn the knob. Sunstone manufactures five different CDDP models based on the total amount of energy they are able to deliver: 200 Ws, 400 Ws, 600 Ws, 1000 Ws, and 1100 Ws.
  • Page 15: How To Use Pulse Controls

    How to Use Pulse Controls Sunstone dual pulse welders have two pulse width energy controls. In dual pulse mode Sunstone welders will fire twice from a single actuation. See Figure 11.1. The first pulse is used Figure 11.1 Graphical representation of a weld with to remove surface inconsistencies and contaminants which dual pulses of energy.

    CDDP WELDER USERS GUIDE helps to displace oils, break through oxide layers, and seat the welding electrodes. As mentioned earlier, Pulse 1 is adjustable between 1% and approximately 30% of the total stored energy. Pulse 2 is adjustable between 1% and 99% of the stored energy.
