This electric stud-welding device includes a welding gun for a stud or bolt to be welding to a workpiece, and a control device. The latter consists of a welding current source and a setting device for welding time and welding current. The welding gun and the control device are connected through two welding current lines. A pilot current circuit is present, using only the two welding current lines (5, 6). Also present is a setting device (10), coordinated with the welding gun (3), which is switched into the pilot current circuit. In the control device (2), there is a sensor (9) which, dependent on the control signals produced by the setting device (10) each time, after the actuation of the selective switches or setters (13, 14) arranged thereon, controls the control device (8), present in the control instrument, for the welding time and the welding current.
In combination, an electric stud-welding control and a welding gun for welding a stud to a workpiece, said stud-welding control comprising a first control device, only two welding current lines connecting said welding gun and said control device, a setting device which can be positioned between a stud held by the stud-welding gun and a workpiece, said setting device having two spaced conductors, one for making electrical contact with the stud held by the stud-welding gun and one for making electrical contact with the workpiece, said setting device having adjustable setters therein connected with said conductors for sending control signals through said welding current lines, a sensor in said control device for receiving the control signals from said setting device, and a second control device in said first control device and responsive to said sensor to control the time and intensity of welding current supplied from said first control device to the stud-welding gun and the workpiece.
In combination, an electric stud-welding control and a stud-welding gun for welding a stud to a workpiece, said stud-welding control comprising a control device, two welding current lines connecting said welding gun and said control device, a setting device which can be positioned between a stud held by the stud-welding gun and a workpiece, said setting device having two spaced conductors, one for making electrical contact with the stud and one for making electrical contact with the workpiece, said setting device having adjustable selector switches connected with said conductors for sending control signals through said welding current lines, and sensing means in said control device for receiving the control signals from said setting device and for controlling one of the time and intensity of welding current supplied from said control device to the stud-welding gun and the workpiece.
