Specifically designed for light gauge metal working applications, the NCD+ stud welding system from Nelson Stud Welding delivers reliability and repeatability in a compact lightweight (handheld) design unrivaled in the industry. This robust capacitor discharge system diminishes reverse side marking while providing overall savings with the elimination of drilling, tapping, grinding and polishing operations.

Typical applications include:

• Thin sheet metal fabrication with minimal heat, distortion and backside marking.
• Insulation pins in shipbuilding and construction.
• Materials with high thermal conductivity such as copper and aluminum alloys.

This new generation capacitor discharge (CD) stud welding power source is built on the foundation of 30,000 Hz switch-mode power conversion topology controlled by high performance 32-bit RISC processor with integrated DSP.

The NCD+ delivers the same stored energy to the arc with half the weight for ultimate portability especially when climbing scaffolding. It is an ideal tool to weld up to 5/16" (M8) CD studs with the contact CD or gap CD welding process with less set-up, operator training and error.

Advantages:

• Consistency and Reliability - weld energy is consistent therefore welds are uniformly strong.
• Product appearance - No back side marking (burn through, dimpling, etc).
• Vibration/leak proof - No holes offer a vibration/leak proof connection.
• Weld Strength exceeds that of the stud or parent metal.
• Mobility
• Input voltage 110V to 120V (any standard wall outlet).
• Export voltages available 200 - 230V.
• Speed - Average weld cycle is mere milliseconds. Automatic feed systems are also available to increase production rates in manufacturing environments.
• Dissimilar metals can be joined - (mild steel to stainless, brass or copper).
