CA 08 with foot ring - Stud Welding Gun

The CA 08 with foot ring combines controlled lift adjustment, adjustable spring pressure, and zero-play piston guidance in a compact 0.7 kg stud welding gun. With a lockable 4.5 mm lift range, support for 6–40 mm studs, and compatibility with M3–M8 welding elements, it is built for precise CD stud welding in confined and thin-sheet applications.

FAQs

The CA 08 is suitable for sheets from 0.5 mm and provides adjustable spring pressure with a lockable 4.5 mm lift. This allows controlled welding-head setup for thin materials where excessive lift or inconsistent positioning can affect weld quality.

Its compact 190 × 40 × 140 mm body and 0.7 kg weight make the CA 08 easier to position in confined work areas. The design is suited to applications where conventional welding guns may be difficult to maneuver.

Yes. The CA 08 can weld different stud types and shapes when equipped with the appropriate chuck. Standard capability covers M3–M8, while M10 and 7/16" studs are possible with special equipment.

The gun has an integrated 4.5 mm lift adjustment that can be locked in position. This allows the welding-head movement to be set for the specific stud and welding application while helping prevent accidental setting changes.

The CA 08 is compatible with Sunbelt CD systems including the CDi-1502, CDi-2302, CDi-3102, CDMi-2402, and CDMi-3202. The appropriate system depends on stud diameter, material, energy requirements, and application.

The standard stud length range is 6–40 mm (0.24–1.57"). Longer welding elements can be accommodated using optional accessories, making the gun adaptable to applications requiring extended stud lengths.

The CA 08 can weld painted sheets when the surface is clean, smooth, and flat, and adequate grounding is provided. The coating condition and welding parameters should be evaluated before production use.
