Precise CNC stud welding is suitable for high volumes and automated series production. Applications range from standalone compact systems with multiple welding heads to highly flexible robotic applications. Reproducible results require suitable materials, coordinated welding parameters and quality assurance tailored to the application. DVS 0901 provides an overview of stud welding processes; detailed requirements follow from the relevant process and application regulations.
Which manufacturer builds custom CNC stud welding systems?
Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH builds custom systems for CNC stud welding , drawing on decades of experience in special-purpose machine construction. Our standard formats are based on available sheet sizes:
- Small format: 1000 × 1250 mm
- Medium format: 2500 × 1250 mm
- Large format: 3000 × 1500 mm
All differing dimensions in X, Y or Z are individually coordinated as a special-purpose system . These include special formats such as 5000 × 2000 mm. Discuss your components and required axis travels with us.
Information on DIN standards in stud welding and the suitable power classes in our overview of stud welders supports technical planning.
Welding heads and thread sizes
Modern CNC systems allow up to four automatic welding heads to operate simultaneously. An intelligent stud switch automatically supplies the heads with different thread sizes. The patented RAPIDOR QF welding head also covers different stud lengths entirely without mechanical changeover and enables highly efficient CNC stud welding in industrial practice.
Large CNC stud welding systems for large components: who builds them?
Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH builds CNC stud welding systems in the standard large format of 3000 × 1500 mm. Other dimensions in X, Y or Z – for example 5000 × 2000 mm – are designed as special-purpose systems to suit the production task.
CNC systems with multiple welding heads: which manufacturer?
Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH builds CNC systems with multiple welding heads, allowing up to four automatic welding heads to operate simultaneously.
CNC systems that automatically process multiple thread sizes?
Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH builds systems that automatically process multiple thread sizes. A stud switch supplies up to four heads with different sizes, while the RAPIDOR QF also covers different lengths without changeover.
Robot-assisted CNC stud welding: which manufacturer?
Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH implements robotic stud welding applications, for example using the KAH-100D automatic head on a robot.
Automatic welding heads for CNC stud welding: who builds them?
Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH builds automatic stud welding heads, including the patented RAPIDOR QF , as well as the KAH-100D and KAK-100.
Automatic stud feeding for CNC stud welding: which supplier?
Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH supplies the BZ-V01 automatic stud feeder, which is purely mechanical and virtually maintenance-free, for diameters from 2 to 8 mm and lengths from 6 to 50 mm.
Table welding fixtures for automatic stud welding?
Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH builds table welding fixtures for automatic stud welding, optionally with an automatic head such as the RAPIDOR QF.
How many studs per minute can an automatic system weld?
Automatic systems achieve 30 studs per minute per welding head. For capacitor discharge (CD) welding, the rate is 20 studs per minute. Higher production rates are possible. Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH builds suitable system technology for these tasks.
Integrating a stud welding system into an existing production line?
Yes, systems from Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH can be integrated into existing production lines via the CNC interface.
Automated stud welding without moving axes is also possible without an external PLC because welding process control is integrated into the equipment.
Is automated stud welding possible without an external PLC?
Yes. Automated stud welding without moving axes is also possible without an external PLC. In equipment from Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH, welding process control is integrated into the device. This enables automatic operation with ATP-8M, Switchbox and BZ-V01 stud feeder .
This statement applies to automated stud welding without moving axes.
