Stud welding machine and studs Nelson, USA Model NCD+3200

Dependable, brawny power topology and precision digital technology

NCD+™ is a dependable, new generation capacitor discharge (CD) stud welding power source developed around the traditional transformer rectifier CD power topology, but controlled by a high-performance 32 bit microprocessor. The NCD+ 3200 has the capacity to weld the full range of CD studs, up to 3/8″ (M10) diameter, and the application flexibility to be configured with a manual handgun, an autofeed handgun, or an autofeed weldhead. The features and benefits include:

Proven Power Topology. Durable, long-life weld SCR and specially designed capacitors.
Built-in Process Monitoring. Ensures weld quality. Provides full color graph of weld process.
Consistency and Reliability. Weld strength consistently exceeds that of the stud or parent metal.
Assembly Quality. Built in the U.S.A., to the demanding standards of ISO9001.
Power Convenience. Operates on a standard wall outlet power input (120V).
Charge Selection. Allows the operator to configure the capacitor bank to the appropriate stud size.
Dissimilar Metals. Mild steel stud can be welded to stainless, brass or copper.
Automation Capabilities. Integrated into the design to allow the customer to autofeed studs, and connect to robotics. Autofeed systems are available for mass production.
Multi-Function Color Display. Friendly, full color graphical user interface for operation and maintenance details.
Stud Expert™. Weld voltage, spring pressure and gap database for various materials, thread sizes and gun types.
Circuit Breaker. Over current protection without the inconvenience of replacing a fuse.
Polarity Change. Ease of changing between straight and reverse polarity.
Stepless Voltage Adjustment. Precision voltage setting, and adjustment
Smart Discharge Circuit. Ability to reduce the voltage set point without welding.
Chuck Saver. Prevents chuck damage by not allowing accidental double trigger after the weld process.

Applications

Thin sheet metal fabrication with minimal heat, distortion, backside marking & weld flash interference.
Insulation pins in shipbuilding and construction.
Materials with high thermal conductivity such as copper and aluminum alloys.
