EASE OF OPERATION
The ease of operation is one of the greatest benefits. From start to finish the process is as follows:
-
Operator loads a S.S.W. tagging collar stud into the #8 collet positioned in the automatic triggering tagging gun.
-
A tag is placed over the stud which is held in place with a magnetic tag holder that is secured to the collet adapter on the gun shaft.
-
The auto gun body houses an adjustable spring and auto trigger mechanism that can be adjusted from 12# to 22# depending upon the carbon content of the alloy being worked.
-
The operator pulls the trigger and places the loaded stud gun to the work piece.
-
With a gentle rocking motion into and back from the work piece, the automatic trigger fires the gun and the process is done. (As the shaft compresses from the rocking motion, a phenolic cam about midway through the shaft travel triggers a micro switch. This design allows the stud to fire at the correct spring pressure insuring constant arc timing and relieves the operator of the judgment as to when to pull the trigger. This design also eliminates the need for a foot, which impairs the vision and physically does not work on small bar ends.)
-
The rocking motion allows the operator to be in and out of the effective heat zone limiting the heat absorption time, which in turn limits operator fatigue and improves safety.
Magnetic Tag and Stud Holder
In applications involving hot slabs, blooms and billets, this design allows the tagging collar stud to be positioned with an insulating air gap between the tag and the work piece.This design takes away the inductive heat that happens when a tag in nailed directly to a hot surface. This allows the ceramic coating to perform its duty as a radiant barrier, the way the product was designed to work verses the induction results of the cartridge type applications.
