OUR DRAWN ARC PRODUCTS
Stud Welding Guns
Taylor Studwelding’s range of drawn arc stud welding guns have been designed to achieve lightness and balance, effectively minimising operator fatigue.
​
There are two main ways in which our stud welding guns differ from one another: cable thickness and stud lifting ability. For those looking to achieve short cycle stud welding, we have also developed two specialist guns. You can also explore our other drawn arc stud welding products here.
​
Over time, we have created models with thicker connecting cables to effectively handle larger studs and heavier workloads. Thicker cables are not as affected by overheating and are less likely to lose voltage. Plus, by taking the pressure off the cable, your drawn arc stud welding machine instead handles high temperatures.
​
Our machines have been designed to automatically switch off if the transformer gets too hot. This saves you time and money on repairs as well as reducing operational risk. We also have many clients who require extra lifting capabilities for the studs they are welding; Taylor Studwelding has designed our Hi-Lift range of guns to address these requirements.
What is a Stud Welding Gun?
A stud welding gun is used to fuse two or more parts together with an arc. A stud welding gun can weld steel, stainless steel and aluminium. The stud welding process involves heating up both workpieces with an electric arc to create a clean, high-quality weld.
​
Stud welding is mainly used in the construction industry from steel works right through to automotive construction.
Standard Drawn Arc Stud Welding Guns
Our standard model DA stud welding guns are the DA 2A and DA 3A. For most drawn arc stud welding machines and applications, the DA 2A is the optimal model with its 50mm² thick cable.
​
This gun can weld studs of up to 16mm in diameter at a rate of up to 10 studs per minute. The DA 3A is perfect for use with wider diameter studs, including M20 studs or any studs above the diameter of 16mm. This gun has a 70mm² cable, which is more resistant to the heat produced by welding larger studs.
​
The DA 3A with a thicker cable size, is typically used for welding larger studs. The DA1 A, DA2 A and DA 3A are all suitable for use with our i12 systems, i16 systems and SPi-10 controller.

Hi-Lift Drawn Arc Stud Welding Guns
Our high lift drawn arc stud welding guns are the DA4, DA5 and DA6 Hi-Lift guns. As with the previous tools, these guns vary in cable thickness depending on the diameter of the drawn arc studs you are welding. The DA4 gun has a 70mm² thick cable and can weld stud diameters of up to 19mm; for studs of up to 25mm in diameter, the DA5 is the optimal choice with its 95mm² cable.
​
We have designed the DA6 for speed instead of stud diameter concerns; this powerful gun exceeds welding 1 stud every 6 seconds, making it highly viable for clients with large workloads.

Short Cycle Stud Welding Guns
We have also developed stud welding guns which are suitable for the short cycle stud welding process, which can utilise drawn arc or threaded capacitor discharge weld studs depending on your requirements.
Short cycle stud welding is much quicker and more cost-effective than drawn arc when welding on parent materials under 2mm thickness. These guns are a great choice for companies with a variety of stud welding applications where drawn arc and short cycle processes can be applied.
DA 7B Stud Welding Gun
The DA 7B is manufactured using impact resistant BAH Delrin and can weld Drawn Arc studs of up to 12mm Diameter or Short Cycle weld CD studs of up to 8mm. Extensions are available for the gun and earth cables, as well as a variety of attachments and accessories for solving specific problems.
