This manual contains important information which is a pre-requisite for safe operation of the equipment.
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The complete range of Taylor Studwelding Systems Capacitor Discharge units are compact, portable Stud Welding equipment's. The units are specifi- cally designed to enable a small diameter range of ferrous and non-ferrous weld studs to be welded to light gauge, self-finish or pre-coated materials, in most cases with little or no reverse marking.

Due to the power requirements and Electromagnetic emissions produced during normal use, this machine must only be operated in an industrial environment.
SAFETY PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS ! Read and understand these safety notices. 1. ELECTRICAL No portion of the outer cover of the welding controller should be re- moved by anyone other than suitably qualified personnel and never whilst mains power is connected. ALWAYS disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

SAFETY 3. PERSONNEL SAFETY Arc rays can burn your eyes and skin and noise can damage your hear- ing. Operators and personnel working in close proximity must wear suitable eye, ear and body protection. Fumes and gases can seriously harm your health. Use the equipment only in a suitably ventilated area.

SAFETY 6. INSTALLATION Ensure that the site chosen for the equipment is able to support the weight of the equipment and that it will not fall or cause a danger in the course of its normal operation. Do not hang connecting cables over sharp edges and do not install connecting cables near heat sources or via traffic routes where people may trip over them or they may be damaged by the pas- sage of vehicles (forklifts etc.).
SETTING UP & WELDING SETTING UP & WELDING Set up the control unit at the place of work, ensuring that the mains switch is in the OFF position. Ensure that this is done in line with the notes and safety rec- ommendations on pages 7 through 9 of this manual.
Page 13
SETTING UP & WELDING SETTING UP & WELDING Connect the welding pistol cable to the controller. Note that the cable end plug has a peg which mates with a key slot in the panel mounted socket. IMPORTANT ! Secure the connector with a clockwise turn until it locks.
Page 14
SETTING UP & WELDING SETTING UP & WELDING After setting the chuck, insert it into the pistol chuck holder and push firmly home until it comes to a rest. NOTE! When welding M10 studs or studs between 35 and 50 mm in length, the pistol will require longer tripod legs fitting (see page 34).

SETTING UP & WELDING SETTING UP & WELDING Place the pistol perpendicular to the work piece with the stud touching down at the desired location to be welded. Press down on the pistol until the legs come firmly into contact with the work piece.

SETTING UP & WELDING SETTING UP & WELDING A cold stud weld is noticeable by undercutting of the flange and lack of / minimal formation of spatter. A cold weld is usually caused by too little energy and / or too high spring pressure. A hot stud weld is noticeable by excessive spatter formation and partial melting of the flange.
WELD SETTINGS The following pages (17 to 22) detail the suggested settings for the following CD200 models : 66, 99 & 132 both Contact & Lift Gap The setting charts were established with the performance of repetitive weld tests using the standard equipment's specified above, studs manufac- tured to the BS EN ISO 13918 standard, in the following materials : Mild Steel, Grade St37-3 Stainless Steel, Grade 1.4303...

METHODS OF STUD LOCATION Economic stud location may be obtained using any one of the following methods, depending on the type of work involved :- Tripod leg assembly. Nose cone assembly. Extended leg assembly. TRIPOD LEG ASSEMBLY. This is generally used for low volume production and one off compo- nents.
WELD ASSESSMENT / TESTING Visual examination of weld quality can, even with limited experience, provide a useful quality assessment. In such a check the presence of a small even witness of weld material around the base of the stud flange after weld- ing should be ensured.
