The A16 is an advanced damped ARC stud welding gun designed for larger stud diameters and high-volume production welding applications that demand precise control of piston movement.
Accommodating stud diameters ranging from 3 mm to 16 mm, this gun features automatic length compensation, customizable lift settings, and a built-in oil damper. Its sealed piston guidance system, adjustable stud positioning, and robust cable configuration make it ideal for repeatable welding cycles with larger fasteners and thicker base materials.
The A16 features mechanical damping and adjustable welding parameters, which allow it to support larger stud diameters, repetitive production cycles, and applications requiring controlled piston movement during the welding process.
An integrated adjustable oil damper controls plunging movement into the weld pool, reducing rebound and supporting consistent stud placement during ARC stud welding operations.
The gun accommodates stud diameters up to 16 mm (5/8"), making it suitable for applications involving larger fasteners and heavier fabrication requirements.
The built-in compensation system automatically adjusts for up to 6 mm of stud length variation, helping maintain proper positioning throughout the welding cycle.
Lift settings can be adjusted in 0.25 mm increments across a 4 mm range and secured in place, allowing precise setup for different stud sizes and welding parameters.
The welding piston operates within a sealed guidance system that helps protect internal components from welding residue, dust, and spatter generated during operation.
The A16 features a 50 mm² welding cable assembly with an SK50 connection, designed to meet the power-transfer requirements of larger-diameter ARC stud welding applications.
Choosing the right stud welding gun involves ensuring compatibility with the stud diameter, your welding equipment, and the specific requirements of your production process. Complete Stud Welding is available to help you determine the best A16 configuration, along with the necessary accessories and consumables for your welding needs.
