In applications where reliable fastening points must be created directly on thin metal sheets and components, capacitor discharge welding components provide an effective solution for achieving strong and precise joints without additional machining operations. Welding studs and other fastening elements allow manufacturers to add threaded or non-threaded fixing points while maintaining excellent surface quality after the welding process.
The use of capacitor discharge welding studs compliant with DIN EN ISO 13918 enables the creation of high-strength connections with reduced heat input. This technology is particularly suitable for applications where mechanical resistance, dimensional accuracy and aesthetic quality of the finished component are important requirements.
A.T.S. supplies a wide range of components for capacitor discharge welding, including threaded studs, threaded bushings, non-threaded studs, lacquer groove threaded studs, fir tree studs, Faston pins, insulation pins, clips for insulation pins and accessories for thread protection and masking. The different configurations allow the most suitable fastening element to be selected according to the application, material and assembly requirements.
The available welding fasteners for capacitor discharge welding can be supplied in different materials, including copper-plated 4.8 steel, A2-50 stainless steel, AISI 316 stainless steel, aluminium AlMg3 and brass CuZn37. Material selection depends on mechanical loads, corrosion resistance requirements and the operating environment of the final application.
These capacitor discharge welding elements are used in several industrial sectors, including sheet metal fabrication, electrical equipment, insulation systems, automation, machinery manufacturing and technical component production. Their ability to create permanent fixing points directly on the workpiece makes them suitable for applications requiring strength, reliability and clean assembly results.
In addition to standard products, A.T.S. can supply custom capacitor discharge welding fasteners according to customer specifications. Through technical support and experience in industrial fastening systems, A.T.S. assists manufacturers and engineering departments in selecting the most suitable component for each specific application.
