A16 ARC Stud Welding Gun

A16 ARC Stud Welding Gun

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.

A16 Features

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.

Oil-Damped Piston Movement

An integrated adjustable oil damper controls plunging movement into the weld pool, reducing rebound and supporting consistent stud placement during ARC stud welding operations.

16 mm Stud Welding Capacity

The gun accommodates stud diameters up to 16 mm (5/8"), making it suitable for applications involving larger fasteners and heavier fabrication requirements.

Automatic Length Compensation

The built-in compensation system automatically adjusts for up to 6 mm of stud length variation, helping maintain proper positioning throughout the welding cycle.

Incremental Lift Adjustment

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.

Sealed Piston Guidance Assembly

The welding piston operates within a sealed guidance system that helps protect internal components from welding residue, dust, and spatter generated during operation.

Heavy-Duty Cable Configuration

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.
