Special feet and ferrule foot plates are ARC stud welding accessories designed to support stud positioning, ferrule retention, and welding gun stability across a variety of fastening applications. Complete Stud Welding supplies a range of special feet and ferrule foot plates for ARC stud welding equipment, including bi-pod assemblies, gas adaptor feet, single-leg and twin-leg ferrule plates, and refractory anchor configurations.
Different foot configurations allow operators to accommodate specific stud diameters, ferrule styles, weld access requirements, and welding processes while maintaining proper alignment throughout the welding cycle. These parts are commonly used in structural steel fabrication, through-deck welding, refractory anchoring, and specialty stud welding applications.
The correct foot assembly influences more than ferrule placement. It affects gun stability, access around the weld area, stud presentation, and the ability to work with specialized fasteners. Complete Stud Welding offers several configurations to address these requirements.
Split bi-pod feet provide open access around the weld area while supporting ferrule placement and maintaining welding gun stability. Available for stud sizes from 1/8" through 1".
Closed bi-pod feet provide additional support around the ferrule area and are commonly used where increased stability is required during the welding process.
Available in multiple stud diameter ranges, these foot plates are designed to position ceramic ferrules accurately while maintaining consistent stand-off distances during welding.
Gas adaptor foot assemblies are available for applications using ferrules as well as gas-shielded welding setups that operate without ferrules.
Special refractory ferrule foot plates are available with multiple neck diameter configurations for refractory anchoring and high-temperature insulation fastening applications.
These accessories are designed for compatibility with ARC stud welding guns and can be matched to specific welding equipment and stud welding requirements.
Foot selection depends on several factors, including stud diameter, ferrule style, welding process, and the available space around the weld location. A configuration that works well for headed anchor studs may not be suitable for refractory anchors or deck welding applications. Our team can help identify the correct foot assembly based on your welding gun model, stud type, and installation requirements.
