The VBZ-3 is a fully automatic stud feeder that feeds flanged welding elements from M3 to M8 at up to 30 studs per minute. It covers stud lengths from 8 to 50 mm, supports fir tree studs, and uses a quick-change system for fast switchovers. Runs on 230V or 115V with a 6-bar air supply.
The VBZ-3 is an automatic stud feeder designed for CD and ARC stud welding lines, providing a consistent, hands-free supply of studs without slowing down the cycle time. Here are the key technical points.
Feed speed reaches 30 studs per minute, depending on element size and feed tube configuration. For high-volume automatic stud welding operations, that rate keeps pace with the welding unit cycle without becoming the bottleneck.
The VBZ-3 automatic stud feeder is designed for flanged welding elements with diameters from 3 mm to 8 mm, encompassing the entire standard range of CD stud welding. Non-standard diameters are available on request, and fir tree studs in dia. 5 and dia. 6 are covered by dedicated order numbers.
With a stud length capacity from 8 to 50 mm, the VBZ-3 handles longer welding elements that many auto-feed systems cannot accommodate. That range includes most production-standard flanged studs without needing a separate feeder for longer sizes.
Element changeovers use a quick-change system, not a full disassembly. Switching between stud diameters or lengths on a running automatic stud welding line takes little time, which keeps production changeover costs low for mixed-batch jobs.
The VBZ-3 runs on a 6-bar air supply at 800 litres per minute, a standard compressed air specification for industrial workshop environments. No special air supply infrastructure is required for most fabrication and assembly facilities.
The VBZ-3 is available in both 230V and 115V primary power configurations, ordered separately by order number. Operations using either standard power supply can run this automatic stud feeder without voltage conversion hardware.
Complete Stud Welding supplies the VBZ-3 automatic stud feeder in both 230V and 115V configurations, for all eight standard stud diameters from M3 to M8 and for fir tree studs in dia. 5 and dia. 6. We also carry the compatible stud welding guns, auto feed weld heads, CD and ARC welding units, and CD weld studs to complete the full automatic stud welding setup in one order.
