A Stud Welding Gun, also known as a Stud Welder, is a specialized tool used in the welding process to attach threaded studs or pins to a base material.
These welding guns enable quick and efficient welding by allowing the operator to press the gun directly onto the base material and initiate welding with the pull of a trigger. This direct application method facilitates instant welding and rapid task completion.
Stud welding is known for its high strength and speed, making it a popular choice in mass-production settings. It is widely used in the construction industry for soft steel and in automobile factories for welding high-strength galvanized steel sheets in body manufacturing. This method's versatility and effectiveness make it a valuable tool in various industrial applications.
