Automatic heads for capacitor discharge welding and short and drawn arc welding, are key components in high-productivity welding systems. They are used on CNC benches for capacitor discharge welding, welding robots, fixed workstations, and traditional welding units, ensuring precision, speed, and repeatability in the joining of studs, pins, and bushings.
These heads are designed for use in both automatic mode, via automatic stud feeding through the VBZ feeder, and semi-automatic mode, with manual insertion of the threaded stud by the operator. In both cases, they ensure reliable welding thanks to precise energy discharge control, which is essential for achieving a solid joint without compromising the integrity of the base material.
The most advanced versions of automatic heads integrate stud presence sensors and feedback systems that allow continuous process monitoring. Some models are also equipped with pneumatic adjustment mechanisms for contact force and stroke depth, making them adaptable to different types of studs and welding geometries.
