OVERVIEW

Optimize Your Spot Welding Precision

The Pro Spot PTST-KIT is a specialized upgrade package designed to convert a standard manual Twin Spot Torch (TST) into a fully Pneumatic Twin Spot Torch (PTST). In the realm of collision repair and resistance spot welding, consistency is paramount. Manual torches rely on the operator's grip force to apply pressure to the weld zone, which can lead to variations in weld quality, especially over long shifts. By upgrading to a pneumatic system, shops can ensure that every spot weld receives the exact same amount of electrode pressure, regardless of the operator.

This conversion kit is engineered specifically for Pro Spot equipment, commonly used with the i4 and i5 inverter spot welders. The pneumatic actuation allows for rapid, repetitive welding with minimal physical exertion. This is particularly advantageous for single-sided welding applications where maintaining constant contact pressure is difficult manually. The kit includes the pneumatic cylinder, air routing lines, and the necessary mechanical linkages to replace the manual lever system.

Installation is straightforward for technicians familiar with Pro Spot equipment. Once installed, the PTST system utilizes the shop's air supply to drive the electrodes, ensuring that the critical squeeze force required for proper nugget formation is met every time. This upgrade not only improves the structural integrity of repairs but also extends the lifespan of consumables by preventing arcing caused by insufficient pressure.

FAQ

The PTST-KIT is designed to upgrade a manual Pro Spot Twin Spot Torch (TST) to a Pneumatic Twin Spot Torch (PTST) for automated pressure application.

Yes, once converted to the PTST configuration, the tool will require a compressed air connection to operate the pneumatic cylinder.

It is compatible with Pro Spot welders that utilize the TST/PTST gun system, such as the i4 and i5 models. Check your machine's manual for specific accessory compatibility.

Yes, by providing consistent pneumatic pressure, the kit eliminates variations caused by manual squeezing, resulting in more uniform and reliable spot welds.

The kit is designed for a straightforward conversion, replacing the manual handle mechanism with the pneumatic assembly. Basic mechanical skills are required.

No, this kit converts the mechanism to pneumatic operation. The manual squeeze lever is replaced by the pneumatic cylinder system.

The kit typically includes the pneumatic cylinder, air hoses, trigger modification parts, and mounting hardware necessary for the conversion.

Single-sided welding requires firm contact to prevent arcing and ensure current transfer. Pneumatic pressure maintains this contact reliably without operator effort.
