A Capacitor Discharge Studwelding machine (also known as a CD stud welder) is ideal for quickly and reliably adding fixings and fastenings to thin gauge metal sheets. CD stud welding is suitable for delicate work requiring small studs and minimal penetration/marking to the parent material. In fact, stud welding provides a strong resulting weld that far surpasses the strength of the original stud and sheet combined. The CDi capacitor-discharge range, designed and manufactured in the UK, are a popular choice for a range of manufacturing industries thanks to these machines’ versatility and the powerful results they provide for a variety of metal materials.
​
Taylor Studwelding’s CDi range CD stud welding systems are powerful capacitor discharge stud welders that are capable of welding mild steel, stainless steel, Zintec (Electro Zinc), aluminium, and brass CD studs (see our stud catalogue to find out more about individual studs). Despite their robust strength and superior reliability, these machines are also very compact and lightweight, weighing half the amount of many other conventional CD stud welders. We have designed and built these CD stud welding systems to meet all required standards and each machine is CE and UKCA marked.
