The POWER SPOT 5500 ALUMINIUM (Art. 2153) power source allows welding of stud bolts and miscellaneous accessories on all types of sheet metal, including aluminium. Welding using the spotter on aluminium requires a specific power source capable of delivering a discharge of current that is very brief (lasting only a few milliseconds) but extremely intense (several thousand Amperes), making it possible to “perforate” the layer of surface oxide and insulation without damaging the sheet metal below: this feature is achieved using capacitors.
POWER SPOT 5500 ALUMINIUM is capable of welding stud bolts of carbon steel and aluminium with diameters of up to 6mm.
The power source is supplied complete with gun and 2-clamp earth cable. Standard supplies also include a set of threaded rivets specifically intended for aluminium application, and threaded washers.
The operating principle of welding stud bolts with contact point start-up is based on the extremely rapid (2 – 3 ms) discharge of a battery of capacitors, which makes it possible to weld pins from ø 4 mm to ø 6 mm.
This technology makes it possible to weld stud bolts on clean, but not oxidized, surfaces of mild steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminium and brass.
The rapidity of the process does not alter the surfaces on the side opposite from the welding, thus has no effect on painted, primed, laminated and galvanized metals.
Welding is not possible on case-hardened steel, oxidized or painted metal.
