Welding is an incredibly old profession, and as technology has advanced, so have the tools that welders use. Stud welders have been around for decades, and beyond some relatively small changes in design, their application has been incredibly consistent. This is, in part, due to their relatively simplistic construction, but that’s not the only reason that stud welding is here to stay. Northland Fastening Systems (NFS) provides stud welders, guns, and equipment that will get you welding without delay. If you’re interested in stud welding, we are proud to support professionals who use this long-beloved infrastructural powerhouse.
Advantages of Stud Welders
Easy to Use
While a professional welder still needs adequate skill and training to properly utilize stud welders, it’s undeniable that as far as modern welding goes, stud welding is very simple. Unlike the old days, a modern stud welder can accomplish a staggering amount of connections in a very short time. This means that buildings, bridges, and even roads can be assembled in a fraction of the time that they used to be.
Transportable
Stud welders are also extremely mobile. You can scale tall building sites, reach narrow crevices, and create stable structures in all manner of unfriendly environments. Without the need for huge machinery beyond your power supply, stud welders allow construction professionals to reach new heights (and depths) with relatively lightweight kits. Stud welders are also fast, which means that if you do have to weld in an awkward position, you don’t need to stay there long.
Powerful
Of course, most importantly, the welds created throughout the stud welding process can be incredibly powerful. There’s a reason why aerospace engineering, military construction, and general public infrastructure all rely on stud welding. If done properly, stud welding can hold together the very fabric of our society. A good, clean weld will persist for decades and will withstand inclement weather and intense daily wear.
