Single and Dual Pulse Versions These adjustable fine spot
welder power sources allow you the versatility to take on projects from the
large all the way into the micro-scale! They give good repeatability by
displaying the exact energy readout of each weld. Purchase a hand weld tool or
weld heads to meet your project requirements. |
Capacitive Discharge Spot
Welder at low price for high quality micro spot welds |
Features
- Inexpensive capacitive discharge power source single or dual pulse
versions available.
- Adjustable weld energy/power. Dual pulse systems have adjustment
for energy for both pulses. In addition the dual-pulse feature can be turned
off.

A note about dual-pulse, capacitive discharge
technology
Dual pulse spot welding is used for high quality welding. There are
two pulses for every actuation of the welder. The first pulse is a small
fraction of the total pulse energy. It has the ability to clean the area to be
welded by giving it a quick heat pulse, evaporating surface water vapor, oil,
oxides and other contaminants. It also establishes a good, high conductivity
area for the second, or welding pulse. The second pulse fuses the two pieces
together. The area of the weld is very small, the piece remains cool, and the
electrical conductivity and strength are high because the two pieces are
alloyed over the spot surface.
Example capacitive discharge weld pulse
This method is particularly good for welding batteries, wires,
jewelry, steel, stainless steel, chromium and other passivated surfaces.
Capacitive welding has the advantage of quick energy release, and
manageable energy input. This means that welds occur fast enough that spots are
small and have very small heat effected zones.
The welder can be operated on standard household voltage and powers.
Battery manufacturers require spot welders for tab welding and
battery pack assembly. This small battery terminal welder is ideal for battery
packs and tabs and contacts.
Dual Pulse Industrial Spot Welders
- Dual Pulse operation removes surface inconsistencies and
contaminants
- Adjustable pulse width, much more finesse than transformer based
welders
- Available 200 Joule (200 watt-seconds)
- Adjustable from 1% to 100% energy discharge
- Up to 600 welds/min
- Simple, user-friendly interface, portable size.
- Perfect for battery pack assembly
- Hi visibility display shows weld parameters
These Dual Pulse CD welders are easy to use as well as powerful. CD
(Capacitive Discharge) welding is a version of resistance fusion welding that
offers high peak currents with extremely fast pulse rise times and short
durations (on the order of 10's of microseconds). The short pulse lengths and
high current allows the welding of highly conductive materials, including
copper and brass. Welding current and pulse widths may be adjusted to weld more
resistive materials such as steel and nickel. CD welding produces repeatable
welds independent of local line voltage variations and is capable of extremely
fine energy adjustment. The dual pulse weld setting helps eliminate surface
inconsistencies, contamination and allows adjustment of the initial contact of
the welding electrodes to produce repeatable results.
