Original instructions
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The CAPATEK has been designed to weld large studs to thin sheet metal without creating a thermal footprint on the
reverse side of the sheet.
2 different guns can be connected:
• Contact gun: Welding studs from M3 to M8 on steel / stainless steel.
• Retraction gun:
Welding studs from M3 to M8 on steel / stainless steel.
Welding studs from M3 to M6 on aluminium / brass.
Integrated functions:
• Stud counter (See menu Fig 11).
This feature, accessible from the menu (Fig 10.8), enables the operator to count the number of studs being welded to
the workpiece.
• When the threshold is reached, the LED on the gun and a letter P on the display will flash. The warning threshold
can be adjusted via the menu.
• The counter can be configured incrementally or decrementally.
• Lock settings (See menu Fig 11).
• Led lighting.
SYNERGIC SETTINGS
The settings are given as a guide only, and are intended to provide a starting point for welding the studs. It is advisable
to carry out preliminary tests on sheets of the same material and thickness.
The synergies provided are based on median values. They must be adjusted according to the individual constraints of
the user:
For thin sheet metal (less than 2 mm), to avoid excessive warping, it's possible to reduce the force, but the voltage will
have to be increased. The increase in voltage must be limited, otherwise the thread may be damaged during welding.
