FAQ

Frequently asked questions
about the DAI-1300S

Which welding ranges does the DAI-1300S cover?

M3–M16 for RD threaded studs and Ø 2–13 mm for SD studs, according to the German equipment data sheet. The gun range and permissible material combination must also be considered.

Which welding guns are compatible?

GAP/GAP-M, DA-10/DA-10M, DA-12/DA-12M and DA-19M. ATP-8/ATP-8M require an optional automatic module.

What does digital displacement measurement show?

With M guns, stud protrusion, lift, plunge and piston speed are displayed. Storage and analysis of the process data require optional process monitoring.

Which materials are listed in the data sheet?

Unalloyed steel, alloyed steel and aluminium. Separate maximum diameters for each material are not specified. The specific material combination and welding range must suit the application and gun.

Which mains supply and additional modules are required?

3 × 320–500 V, 50/60 Hz, CEE 32 A; 32 A slow-blow fuse. Four separately controlled gun connections, each with its own shielding gas module, fitted as standard. Automatic guns require an optional automatic module.
