Instructions For Welding With Ceramic Ferrules; Stopping The Stud Welder - Soyer BMK-12 W Operating Instructions Manual

6.3.1

Instructions for welding with ceramic ferrules

• Start the stud welder as described in chapter 5.
• Only use ceramic ferrules which are absolutely dry and do not show any flaws.
• Only use ceramic ferrules which match the type and size of the studs.
• Start by carrying out test welds in order to achieve optimum welding results. If
necessary, modify the prescribed welding parameters.
• Insert stud into stud holder until stop.
• Make sure stud is centred in the ceramic ferrule holder.
• Place ceramic ferrule on ceramic ferrule holder.
• Position the welding gun in such a way that the centre of the stud points exactly
toward the marked welding point.
• Make sure that the gun does not tilt, i.e. that the ceramic ferrule is positioned evenly
on the workpiece.
• Start welding process. The LED "Final contact" lights up after completion (item 5.6,
chapter 5.1.2).
• After the welding process, please keep the welding gun or welding head on the weld
for about 5 seconds before removing them to prevent the stud loosening out of the still
fluid weld metal.
• Remove gun vertically to prevent widening and damaging of the stud holder.
• Knock off ceramic ferrule from the welded area.
