Model:TWP‐1

TheTWP‐1incorporatesthelatestsolidstatetechnologyintoacompact

andrugged,portableCDPinWelder.Thissystemhasthecapacitytoweld

pins(includingcuppedheadpins)upto10‐gaugeandCDStudsupto#10.



FEATURES

• DigitalDCvoltagereadout(allowsformoreaccurateandrepeatable

weldsettings).

• Coolingfanforincreasedefficiency.

• Dial‐downDCvoltagesetting(noneedtoturnofftheunitwhenreset‐

tingtoalowervoltage).

• Only15ampcircuitrequirement(unitfused@15amps).

• poweroutput@lowerDCvoltagerequirements.

• Terminalconnectionsonthecapacitorareover5/8”indiameterfora

goodseatoftheterminalbussbarstoincreasereliability.

• Theterminalconnectionsonthecapacitorhave1/4‐28socketsetscrews

insertedintoeachone.Thesocketsetscrewisusedtomaketheconnec‐

tiontothebussbar.Thiseliminatesdamagingthethreadsinthealumi‐

numconnectorsofthecapacitor,ensuringasolidconnection.

• Rigidinternalconstructionconnectingtheentireinternalunittothe

frontandrearpanelsminimizestheopportunityofthecomponents

cominglooseduringhandlingoroperations.

• TheTWE‐PinWelderismountedinaruggedoutercaseforgreaterdura‐

bility,texture,andappearance.

• TheTWE‐PinWelderweighsinatabout11poundsforeaseofcarrying.
