2.1Technology of tip ignition

The SOYER® Stud Welding Systems function according to the principle of capacitor discharge with tip ignition in compliance with DVS leaflet 0903 (German Welding Society).

This system utilises the abrupt discharge of a capacitor battery to generate electric arc energy.

The electric arc is initiated via the calibrated and close fit ignition tip on the welding studs and the welding elements. The stud weld base and the opposite surface of the workpieces is then melted slightly. The stud is automatically immersed into the thin melted zone and/or the liquid weld bath. After the immediate solidification of the material, an homogenous high-strength joint in an extremely short welding time ranging only between 1-3 milliseconds (0.001- 0.003 sec.) is achieved.
