MOD 3000

The MOD 3000 is a fully automatic stud welding machine for capacitor discharge, short cycle and drawn arc stud welding. The modular design enables the customer-specific configuration and equipment (e.g. wide choice in the size of the working area; configuration 1-axis (X-axis), 2-axis (X-/Y-axis) or 3-axis (X-/Y-/Z-axis); number of welding heads). Due to the flexible conception further customer-specific adjustments are possible.

Configuration and Equipment

  • working area
    The size of the working area can be chosen customer-specific. For the X-/Y-working area three different sizes are available.
    X-/Y-axis: 2000x1000 mm, 2500x1250 mm, 3000x1500 mm
    Z-axis: 200 mm
    The entire working area can be reached through each welding head.
  • configuration 1-axis (X-axis), 2-axis (X-/Y-axis) or 3-axis (X-/Y-/Z-axis)
  • premium axes with high-precision guides and ball screw or belt drive, optional also use of length measuring systems
    inside slide mountings avoid damages caused by dust or weld splatters
  • robust and warp resistant welded steel machine frame
  • high positioning accuracy of the machine due to robust configuration
    stud positioning accuracy: < ± 0,2 mm
  • high processing speed of studs due to dynamic servo motors
    operating speed of the axes: max. 0,5 m/s
  • up to 4 welding heads applicable
  • easy accessibility of the machine from all 4 sides
  • movable operator panel
  • flexible fixing of mass clamps on a T-slot plate
  • short set-up and retooling times
  • quick change system for welding head
  • logic and easy-to-use operating interface
  • ample program memory
  • Fast and easy programming by entering the welding coordinates on an external PC. Thus idle times by programming on the machine can be avoided.
  • free zero points (zero point shift)
  • re-weld function with program continuation
  • welding parameter monitoring and documentation (by stud welding units PRO-D/PRO-C)
    - recording of charging voltage, welding time, welding energy and arc voltage for each weld
    - recording of stud travel (lift, piston runtime, immersion depth) for each weld [only when an automatic welding head with travel measuring system is used]
    - comparison of the recorded parameters to the parameters of a reference weld (tolerances adjustable)
    - in case of variances to the reference weld a warning is displayed or the unit is locked for further welds until the release by the operator (functionality can be switched off)
    - storage of the last ten welding parameter sets
    - optional (also retrofitable): welding parameter memory for the storage of 24500 welding parameter sets (storage with date and time) with RS232-interface for data transmission (welding parameter sets) to a PC
  • automatic stud feeding
  • suitable stud welding units:
    PRO-C 1000: for capacitor discharge stud welding (contact and gap method)
    PRO-C 1500: for capacitor discharge stud welding (contact and gap method)
    PRO-D 1200: for short cycle and drawn arc stud welding
    PRO-D 1600: for short cycle and drawn arc stud welding
  • suitable automatic stud welding heads:
    KHA-200 F: for capacitor discharge (gap method), short cycle and drawn arc stud welding
    optional with travel measuring system
    KKA-200 F: for capacitor discharge stud welding (contact method)
  • CE-conform according to EC machinery directive

  • light curtain for safeguarding the working area or sound insulation housing
  • DXF data import
    An internal CAD program converts customer-specific DXF-data into an ubiquitous DXF-format and prepares it for further processing on a PC. Afterwards the processed data is automatically transferred to the control.
    visualization of the program sequence
  • pneumatic single stud feeding through manual insertion (e.g. for special applications)
  • fluid spraying device for spraying the welding position before welding
  • milling head with suction device for simple milling operations
  • pneumatic mass clamps
  • workpiece downholder for welding head
  • stud switch
  • customer-specific handling systems can be adapted
  • multidirectional balls table
