Single Phase Drawn Arc Stud Welder With Inverter Technology

Introducing the new SPi-10 drawn arc stud welding machine from Taylor Studwelding utilising single phase power supply. Launching to market at the end of 2024, our customer feedback on the new controller has so far been incredibly positive. Our R&D team have listened to customer feedback and created a new drawn arc stud welding controller with new features to aid usability as well capitalising on the most up to date technology. The drawn arc controller, when coupled with a suitable hand pistol from Taylor Studwelding will create reliable, strong welds for up to 10mm diameter reduced base studs.

Inverter Technology 

The SPi-10 controller is part of our new stud welding machine range utilising the latest inverter technology. The energy required to carry out the welding operation is derived from a fully microprocessor controlled power inverter inside the controller. The use of this modern process allows the machine to regulate the flow of electricity through the controller, enhancing its efficiency and saving energy. Inverter technology is essentially an electrical component within the stud welding machine that manages the voltage, current and frequency of the controller. It works by rapidly alternating the direction of alternating  current (AC) input, transforming AC into  direct current (DC). This process allows for the power to be controlled efficiently without the need for turning it on and off.

Single Phase Power Supply 

A huge benefit of the new SPi-10 controller is that it is powered using a single phase power supply. The machine can be connected to a regular mains plug or connected via a suitable adapter. The SPi-10 operates on a power supply of 110V AC or 240V AC. This means that the drawn arc machine can easily be used in areas where a three phase power supply is unavailable.  

Suitable For Many Welding Techniques

The Spi-10 is often used in standard welding processes where the hand pistol is held in a downward position and a standard cable length is used. The SPi-10 can be also be easily used for the following common welding techniques:

• Welding to a plate in the horizontal position

• Welding to a plate in the overhead position

• Welding studs less than 25mm long using ferrules

• Using templates to ensure positional accuracy

• Welding stainless steel

• Welding close to corners, flanges or other obstacles

Full guidance for stud welding using these specific techniques is provided within the SPi-10 operating guide available to download on our website. 

The SPi-10 drawn arc stud welder is suitable for using the short cycle stud welding process. The machine contains an inlet for shielding gas to be used which is recommended when carrying out short cycle stud welding. This ensures that the completed weld is strong, durable and long lasting.
