The failure of a weld stud that isn"€™t properly welded can lead to failures further along the assembly process or latent failures with weld studs breaking in finished products which costs them money and time with warranties and rework, The Weld Stud Test Tool is designed for use during the production of sheet metal products to test the strength and integrity of welds used to attach threaded studs to the sheet metal. A simple mechanical test with the Weld Stud Test Tool provides manufacturers with easy test results. It"€™s low cost tool that provides a successful solution to eliminate weld studs breaking in the field or along the assembly process.
