A spot welder uses 2 electrodes positioned opposite each other. 2 pieces of metal (usually thin) are placed like a sandwich between the electrodes which come together with force and an electrical current is passed thru them which actually melts the pieces where they touch each other. This produces a small weld "spot" . This spot is about the same size as the tips of the electrodes.
What else can I help you with?
What are the dimensions of a spot welder?
Spot welder dimensions may vary depending on the make or brand of welder. The average dimensions of a spot welder are approximately 170 x 460 x 350 mm.
When was the spot welder invented?
Spot welding is a form of resistance welding invented by Elihu Thompson in the late 1800s.
How many hours does a welder work?
Depends on what time your employer wants you to be at work.
Will a 220v60hz welder work on 220v50hz current?
IT WILL WORK BUT will not have sufficient power
Can you use Stick Welding machine for Spot Welding if yes how?
They sell a spot welding gun that plugs into a DC arc welder. If you have an AC225 or some other AC-only machine, this won't work. In general, tho, spot welders have their own power supplies so you don't need to reconfigure your stick welding machine for this.
What is the best state for a welder to work in?
Sober and drug free.
Would a 135 amp welder work on a 2.4hp generator?
no
What personality characteristics are needed to be a welder?
nice and able to work together
Are there any welder job description listings on this site?
Yes, there are welder job desription on certain sites. You can find welder jobs at Alaska Pipeline Job Info, Don Pedro Shipping, and Work Circle all have information.
What is the difference a plater welder and a fabricator welder?
A plater welder primarily focuses on welding large plates of metal, often used in the construction of ships, heavy machinery, and structural components. In contrast, a fabricator welder works with a variety of materials and is involved in the complete fabrication process, including cutting, shaping, and assembling metal parts into finished products. While both roles require welding skills, the plater welder's work is more specialized towards heavy plate work, whereas the fabricator welder has a broader scope that includes design and assembly.
What is the 60 Hz on a welder with the listed input as 208 230 volt single phase 60Hz?
60 Hertz is the frequency that the welder should be connected to, to work as it is designed to.
What is the conductor size for a spot welder draw 90 amp with a duty cycle 40 percent?
To calculate the required conductor size for a spot welder drawing 90 amps with a 40% duty cycle, you need to account for the maximum current flow during operation. 90 amps * 1.5 = 135 amps (to accommodate the intermittent nature of spot welding). You would then use a conductor size based on a 135-amp current rating to ensure safety and efficiency in the electrical system.
