3.7 Stud Guns
There are several manufacturers of Stud welding guns. A Stud gun is shaped to fit in the hand,
in the shape of a handgun, and is a semi-automatic stud welding tool. Guns vary in design,
connection, weight, capacity and Duty Cycle. Only guns suitable for drawn arc Stud welding can
be used and are available for Short Cycle, Standard Duty and Heavy-Duty use. The pin
configuration of the gun must be compatible with
The DT1200i .
Units come standard with a 4-pin panel mounted control connector for the firing gun. The pistol
grip switch initiates the stud current through the welding cables and, at the same time, powers
the solenoid in the gun so that it retracts.
Attach the gun cable to the (-) jack on the power supply and attach the ground clamp to the (+)
jack on the power supply.
There is very little to do when unpacking the Stud Welding gun. The gun should be complete
with all the tools and accessories required for setup, adjustment and maintenance. Guns should
be equipped with the correct chuck, ferrule grip and special accessories for each application.
Operators should consult the Operation/Maintenance Manual from the Stud Gun manufacturer
for complete instructions for safe operation and maintenance.
