More about stud welding processesPrepare the gun
The gun is set up for the selected welding process. Studs are fed manually or through a suitable automatic feeding system.
Ignite the arc
The appropriate power unit supplies the welding current. The arc melts the stud end and workpiece surface.
Plunge the stud
The stud plunges into the weld pool. The stud and base material solidify to form a joint.

START SOLUTION FINDERFrequently asked questions
about the ATP-8M
Which process does ATP-8M use?
ATP-8M uses capacitor discharge, short-cycle drawn arc and drawn arc welding.
What welding range is possible?
M3–M8, maximum Ø 8 mm. The usable range depends on the power unit, material and welding task.
Which materials are intended?
Unalloyed and alloyed steels and non-heat-treatable aluminium alloys are intended. The material combination and process equipment must suit the welding task.
How is the lift adjusted?
1,0–6,0 mm. Continuously adjustable.
What does the displacement measuring system measure?
The integrated displacement measuring system records stud protrusion, lift, plunge and piston speed. In conjunction with suitable equipment technology, these values can be displayed and monitored.
Which power units are compatible?
CDP-66M, CDP-99M and CDP-133M, as well as DAI-1300, DAI-2300 and DAI-3300, each equipped with a suitable automatic module. The choice depends on the welding process and welding task.
