Drawn arc stud welders: OUE series
Drawn arc stud welding joins a metal stud to a metal workpiece by heating both parts with an electric arc. The fastener is attached without marring the other side, with maximum weld penetration and reliability. Our OUE machines are wheeled for easy movement on site and in the shop.
