Intended Use
Our stud welding units are designed and built exclusively for industrial use.
Nonindustrial use is expressly forbidden due to the lack of know-how about
the welding technology employed and the applicable standards.
The stud welding unit is intended exclusively for stud welding of standardised
welding elements. Any other use will result in the desired strength of the welded
joint being reduced.
This stud welding unit can only be used with the STAUFF stud welding gun
SWG-WG.
The intended use also implies observance of the stud welding gun operating manual
and compliance with the intervals and conditions for inspection and maintenance of
the stud welding unit and the components employed.
Always check the operating manual of your stud welding gun whether it may be
used with this stud welding unit.
The stud welding unit must be suitable for welding the welding elements in use.
Welding elements manufactured with the cold formed process have a flange and an
ignition tip. During welding, the flange prevents the arc getting to the cylindric part of
the welding element and increases simultaneously the welding area.
Please refer to the operating manual of your stud welding gun for
detailed information on which welding elements may be used.

Usage with STAUFF Clamps
For obtaining the maximum power rating of the weld joint, in usage with STAUFF
Clamps, is a maximum height of the welded element of 13.0 mm observed.
In addition, the maximum torque rating of 6 Nm must be adhered in the
application.
Specific series can limit the torque additionally.
In case of doubt, please contact STAUFF.
