TECNA 8212D Press-Type Spot Welder — 100 kVA Air-Operated Single-Phase AC

TECNA 8212D press-type spot welder — 100 kVA, air-operated, single-phase AC. Maximum welding current on steel of 20,000 amps with 1,654 lbs of electrode force at 6 bar (standard cylinder). Electrode throat depth of 31.5 in.

Description

The TECNA 8212D pairs a 100 kVA single-phase AC transformer with air-operated actuation in a press-type spot welder configuration. The 8212D provides a maximum welding current of 20,000 amps on steel with a standard electrode force of 1,654 lbs at 6 bar. The thermal current rating at 100% duty cycle is 7,000 amps. A water-cooled transformer, electrode holders, and electrodes support extended duty cycles, with epoxy resin-coated windings for long service life. The 8212D offers an electrode throat depth of 31.5 in.

Features

  • 100 kVA single-phase AC transformer with four-tap secondary voltage selection and water-cooled windings.
  • Maximum welding current of 20,000 amps on steel.
  • Standard 1,654-lb electrode force at 6 bar.
  • Press-Type Spot Welder configuration with water-cooled transformer, electrode holders, and electrodes.
  • Two-stage electric foot control for clamping and welding; two-hand safety control standard on projection models.
  • Optional water-cooling valve and flow switch (Art. 8230) halts the machine if cooling water flow is interrupted.
  • Lubrication-free pneumatic components eliminate oil mist; built-in compressed air filter unit.

Installation Requirements

  • Electrical supply: 440 / 480 V, 60 Hz. Other voltages and frequencies available on request.
  • Delayed-fuse and mains-cable ratings are specified at 380–415 V; confirm fuse and cable sizing for the 440/480 V installation.
  • Net weight: 1,323 lbs.
