Andrew and you thought lipo's were bad news those caps will hold a fair amount of energy great bit of kit when you need one Stuart |
| vtsteam:
Oh, thanks, Andrew. Does anything "impact" the stud when you pull the trigger (like the way an automatic center punch works)? Or does it just remain uniform pressure when you press it against the base metal? |

Stuart, yes loads of energy stored potentially (pun intended) :lol: Steve, No the only force on the stud is a spring. The stud projects at rest forwards of the shroud and when you put the stud to the work you compress the spring - it is adjustable by a tweaker at the rear of the gun I have downloaded the manual of a similar capacity stud welder by a different manufacturer (Lynx) and they calibrate the oomph in real world volts from 50 - 200 and include a circuit diagram. I've attached this Lynx manual to this post as although a completely different manufacturer the studs are the same AND SO ARE THE COLLETS - now there's a co-incidence. It also has the SAME 66,000 uF CAPACITORS !! The volts must be similar to deliver the same energy requirements I'd presume |

Wonder how many Joules that thing discharges Stuart |

Magic. --- End quote --- I laughed when I read that,but I'm certain we've all witnessed the type of philistine who would do something very similar. :palm: .....OZ. |
