A stud welding machine is a device designed to connect a metal stud to a metal piece by heating both components using an arc. Stud welding, a reliable fastening method, is widely employed in sectors such as manufacturing and metal production to securely attach metal studs to metal plates or sheets.

The main types of arc ignition in stud welding machines include capacitor discharge stud welding and drawn arc stud welding. Capacitor discharge stud welding involves storing electrical energy in a capacitor bank, which is then discharged through a stud to create an arc. The materials involved in this process comprise steel, aluminum, copper, and brass, and operations can be either automatic or semi-automatic. This technology finds applications in various industries, including automotive, shipbuilding, electric goods, construction, farming, and others.
