FAQs

The PAH-1 stud welding gun with 30 mm centering device is designed for guided stud positioning on thin metal sheets. It supports M3–M8 flange studs and can be used with manual or automatic stud feeding.

The 30 mm centering device helps guide and position the stud welding gun during operation. This is useful where consistent gun placement is important for repeatable stud welding on production components.

The PAH-1 is compatible with several Sunbelt power sources, including the ARC-800 AT, CDi-1502 AT, CDMi-2402, CDMi-3202, IT 1002 AT, and IT 90 AT, depending on the welding application.

Yes. The PAH-1 supports fully automatic stud feeding and can be integrated with automation-capable ARC, CD, and inverter stud welding machines for repeatable production welding.

The PAH-1 supports M3 to M8 studs, or #4 to 5/16 inch, with standard stud lengths from 8 to 30 mm. Other stud lengths are available by request.

Yes. The PAH-1 is especially suitable for thin metal sheets from 0.5 mm and provides adjustable lift for controlled stud welding on lightweight sheet-metal components.

Yes. The PAH-1 can be paired with compatible ARC and capacitor discharge (CD) stud welders, allowing the welding process to be selected according to sheet thickness, stud type, material, and application.
