What is Capacitor Discharge (CD) Stud Welding? Capacitor discharge stud welding is a fast and efficient welding process used to attach metal studs to a base material. It involves a rapid discharge of stored electrical energy from a capacitor through a stud, creating an intense arc that melts the base of the stud and a portion of the base material. This molten metal forms a strong weld as it cools and solidifies, securely bonding the stud to the surface.  What Are The Benefits Of CD Stud Welding  There are many advantages that capacitor discharge stud welding offers compared to other ..read more

When it comes to stud welding, power supply is essential. Understanding the power requirements, phases, consumption, and voltage specifics is crucial, especially when using at an offsite location. Let’s dive into the different aspects of stud welding power supply to highlight this critical component of the process. Power Requirements For Stud Welding Stud welding operations vary in their power requirements depending on the specific application. Generally, these welding processes demand a robust and consistent power supply to ensure precise, rapid, and durable welds. The power requirement for ..read more

There are various Stud Welding processes to complete the fastening action. This article explores the differences between the three main stud welding techniques including capacitor discharge, drawn arc and short cycle stud welding to help you to identify which method is most suitable in your specific circumstances.  Selecting The Best Process The Capacitor Discharge ‘CD’ Process The Capacitors are charged to a pre-set voltage to suit the di ..read more

Taylor Studwelding have explored the areas that engineering roles are most in-demand and currently see the largest shortages. The research has shown that Greater London holds the title as the region with the most demand for engineers across all sectors. The following article will explore the areas, sectors and roles that have the largest shortage of engineers. The Areas With the Largest Engineering Shortages Analysts at Taylor Studwelding first looked into the areas of the UK seeing the largest shortages of engineers. Greater London Greater London found the largest shortage of engineers with ..read more

Following the petrol shortage, sales of electric cars have surged, with a record 33,000 registered in September alone. But is the UK prepared to keep up with the demand? There are many benefits to driving electric cars, including lowering your carbon footprint, cheaper running costs, and less maintenance. Despite these benefits, a survey from May this year found that only a quarter of consumers planned on buying an electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid in the next five years. However, the fuel crisis highlighted the benefits of EVs and triggered many to make the switch to eradicate their nee ..read more

Arc welding is a prominent form of welding used across various industries, including automotive, shipbuilding, construction, and aerospace. The process entails using concentrated heat generated by an electric arc to weld metals together. The arc occurs from the base material to the electrode, the welding rod or wire, and melts the metal. Then the welder can fuse the molten metal and craft it into a weld.  Most arc welding processes are either consumable or non-consumable electrode methods, which determines the role of the electrode, and whether it melts to become part of the weld or sol ..read more

The story of our success has been an exciting one for us, and our journey along the way has been interesting to say the least! Here, we tell the story of Taylor Studwelding, from how we grew the company, entering the Chinese market, and how our stud welding machinery has changed over the years. Where we started. Taylor Studwelding was first established back in 1985 by David Taylor and his wife, Joan Taylor, working from a unit at County workshops in Dewsbury. Here, they sold Capacitor Discharge and Drawn Arc Studs and accessories to the UK market, whilst also designing the first range of Capac ..read more

As a specialist in the design, manufacture, and supply of stud welding equipment and components, we believe automated systems can create a much more accurate finish than other, more traditional handheld welding systems. Automated welding means each part of the stud welding process can be controlled down to each precise detail, giving long-lasting results.  Handheld welding does give a certain level of precision, but there is still room for human error. However, certain projects could benefit from this more than they would from an automated CNC machine. In this post, we’ll go through the advant ..read more
