01 Structural steel & composite construction Drawn arc stud welding

One fastening process. Two very different jobs.

Choose by the joint—not by the machine.

Tell us the stud, base material and required output. We will help match the power source, gun, process and consumable.

Shear connector stud welding on a composite steel deck
01 Heavy / structural

Drawn arc

For larger diameters, thick base material and structural load transfer. The arc is sustained long enough to create a deep, full-section weld.

  • Shear connectors and structural steel
  • Threaded studs up to Ø22 mm with PRO-D 2200
  • Ceramic ferrule, shielding gas or short-cycle options
See drawn arc machines
Capacitor discharge stud welding inside a stainless steel enclosure
02 Fast / thin sheet

Capacitor discharge

For small studs and thin sheet where speed, a short 1–3 ms weld and minimal visible marking on the reverse side are priorities.

  • Electrical enclosures, HVAC and sheet-metal work
  • PT threaded studs from Ø2–8 mm
  • 230 V portability for workshop production

Stud welding machine range

Three routes to a finished weld.

Published specifications shown are manufacturer values. Final configuration depends on the welding gun, cable set, stud and application.
