GYStud Capatek 66 Fv - Retracting Gun
GYS High-Performance Capacitive Discharge Stud Welding Power Source
The GYS CAPATEK 66 FV is an industrial-grade capacitive discharge stud welding power source designed for fast, precise, and deformation-free welding of M3 to M8 studs. Engineered and manufactured in France, this system is ideal for thin sheet metal applications in steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and brass, where surface finish and material integrity are critical. Featuring advanced FV technology, the CAPATEK 66 FV operates reliably on all single-phase power supplies from 85 to 265 V, ensuring maximum flexibility on-site and in workshop environments. Its 66 mF capacitor delivers high peak current for consistent weld quality, while the ergonomic retracting gun provides adjustable force and retraction for optimal stud fusion. An intuitive user interface with voltage adjustment, setting lock, and stud counter enhances process control, productivity, and repeatability, making the CAPATEK 66 FV a robust solution for demanding industrial stud welding applications. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
