2. Working Principle and Structure
2.1 Principle
Monophase 220V mains supply can be transformed into two voltages, one
19V supplies power for the whole machine after rectifying; The other rectified
200V charge the capacitor, the voltage between the two ends of the capacitor can
be controlled and regulated by controlled silicon, range from 25V to 200V.
Controllable silicon phase synchronous controller can be finished by MCU. It can
synchronize the shutdown of controlled silicon with itself; it can also identify the
null point of the AC Mains Supply Voltage accurately. Internal phase shift control
circuit controls and regulates the phase shift, drive the controllable silicon after
being amplified and reshaped, and controls the height of voltage between the two
ends of the storage capacitor through regulating the conduction angle.
The program of MCU controls working sequence, phase shift control quantity,

data gathering, monitoring, transferring and protecting functions, etc.
While welding, discharge SCR triggers by conduction, the charges on the
storage capacitor impose between studs and the workpiece through discharge
circuit, produce electric arcs and discharge at the tip with the power stored in the
capacitor, and generate great quantity of heat within a very short time
(0.001~0.003s), forming a 0.5mm molten pool on the surface of the melting metal,
which can bond studs and the workpiece together firmly.
2.2 Structure
SAW-D/1/I series consist four parts. One is CPU board, mainly in charge
of processing the collected signals, displaying, man-machine interaction and
sending orders to the main control board. The second one is main control board,
mainly in charge of amplifying, processing voltages and current analog signals, and
controlling the conduction and shutdown of SCR. The third one is the main circuit
which is an execution unit controlling the charging and discharging of storage
capacitor. The last part is chassis and operation panel, used for man-machine
communication and protection. The operation panel is as shown in the picture.

4. Setting Up and Wielding
4.1 Cautions
The welder must be installed on a horizontal surface. The four rubber feet on
the welder base are nonskid and shock-proof.
Although the welder is able to withstand regular impact, but it still needs to be
taken care of the shock and dust.
Please pay attention to the safety and security of the seat of the welder.
Please ensure that there is enough space around the welder for heat
dissipation.
The welder should be placed near the welding area.
Please ensure the right connection to the electricity.
Too long the cable will lead to a voltage drop, so please choose a proper length.
Please ensure the air circulation of the factory building.
The fuse specifications for SAW-DI: General supply insurance an F (12A).
The fuse specifications for SAW-DIs internal circuit boards: Charging
insurance F1 (6.3A); Control insurance F2 (2A); Fan insurance F3 (0.25A).

6
Warning: The insurance can only be replaced with the ones which has
corresponding electrical parameters. The insurance that exceed the
specifications would lead to fatal danger caused by fire or electrical failures.
Power must be cut off before replacing the insurance.
4.2 Setting Up
Connecting one end of the ground wire to the ground interface, the other end
to the proper position on the workpiece.
Connecting the pistol connection to the pistol interface on the welding
machine, and rotate it clockwise until it is locked.
Plugging the control cable into the control cable interface on the welder, and
tighten the lock screw.
Plug one end of the power cord into the power outlet on the welder, and the
other into the AC 220V power.
Note: All connections must be tightened.
4.3 Wielding
Switch on the welder, the 4 LED indicators on the front panel briefly shinning
on boot-up; the welder should be restart when E-2 error message displayed on
the LED display. If it still shows error, then troubleshooting has to be done.
Settings of the Welder: The parameters of the stud welding machines vary
depending on the pistol types and welding materials, they should be set
according to the actual situations. While under normal situations, they could
be set according to the parameters on the front panel.

Note: The parameters above are for aluminum studs
welding, only for reference; the parameters can be reduced
while welding iron or stainless iron studs.

The actual charging voltage varies depending on different stud diameters.
The contact indicator would light up when placing the welding pistol equipped
with studs on the surface of the workpiece.
Pulling the switch of the pistol, and then the release relay indicator is lit, the
welding process begins.
Note: To ensure a normal welding process, the switch of the pistol needs to be
pulled quickly. In the whole welding process, the pistol needs to be
perpendicular to the workpiece surface, and it should be moved away from the
surface after the welding. Sometimes there might be operations mistakes such
as slip when welding, these can be detected by the welder and the fault
indicator lit up. In this case the welder needs to be restarted.
Shutting down the welder: Turn off the power switch behind the welder,
disconnect the mains, welding, control and ground cables.
5. Quality Control
5.1 Quality Standard
Peoples Republic of China Machinery Industry StandardJB/T8323-1996`
Stud Welder.
The standards of the Shenzhen Hongbai Technology Industrial Co., LtdAuto
body and coated steel planting studs series equipment`
5.2 Personnel Requirement
Qualified and Responsible.
The operators can operate and manage the welders only after they have the
appropriate training and get the corresponding qualifications.
The connection and maintenance works can only be done by personnel who
have received electrical training.
5.3 Test Method
To guarantee that the correct use of the stud welder system and the right
choice of welding materials, the strength of the welding surface should
always be bigger than that of the studs. Additionally, there should also be the
following tests in the general production practice:
The standard test: Typically, the standard work test must be taken repeatedly
before the actual welding practice, and the test should be under the
supervision of the user. The number of the welding tests could be decided by
the engineer in charge based on the actual situation. The standard test may be
affected by the stud diameter, the material of the workpiece and the device

type. The test includes visual inspection (all samples), tensile testing (at least 3)
and the bending test (at least 3).
Simple test: Used to test welding settings and features. This test should be
taken after some time of continuous welding. It includes visual inspection (all
samples) and the bending test (all samples).
5.4 Test in Practice
Test samples: the studs to be used for the test are welded on a base metal, size
less than 700*200mm. The welding position and the distance from the edge
should all be the same.
Visual inspection: used for a cursory examination for the main problem, for
estimating the identity of the weldment. In case of uncertainty, tensile testing
and torsion testing are highly recommended.
Tensile testing: tensile testing is aimed at testing the bond strength between
the stud and base metal. The minimum testing stud number is three. Add an
increasing axial tension on the stud until the fracture occurs. If the user prefers
to process a stud pull test in a certain percentage, special stress meter devices
are required. If the fracture occurs outside the weld zone, then it is a successful
welding. If it happens in the zone, then an extra test about the fracture is
needed. The unwelded area should not exceed 20% of the total welding area.
When there are questions, please contact the company or the regional office. If
the number of the failed welding studs exceed the specific standard value, then
the reason of the failure must be found, the parameters must be corrected, and
a re-test is needed.
Bending test: Used to cursory examine the chosen parameters. Using a specific
tube to bend the stud (at least 3 studs in the test) 30 degrees, if there is no
crack or fracture, the welding is successful. If not, and the number exceeds the
standard value above, then the reason and a re-test is necessary.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Stud Wielding
Based on the structure of the stud welder, its outside does not need to be
cleaned very often; however, the inside needs to be cleaned regularly according to
the exterior environment.
