Cuphead Insulation Pins

High-Performance Fasteners for Industrial Insulation

Precision-made in Europe by Metal Engineering


Product Overview

At Metal Engineering, we specialize in manufacturing cuphead insulation pins—also known as weld pins or insulation studs—designed to securely fasten insulation materials like mats, blankets, and foil to metal surfaces. These pins are welded using Capacitor Discharge (CD) or Drawn Arc welding, with the integrated cuphead acting as a washer for firm, reliable hold.


Key Features

  • Customizable Design
    Tailored to your specifications—length, diameter, and materials.

  • Strong, Clean Welds
    Weld strength exceeds pin strength; no distortion or burn-through.

  • Fast Installation
    Achieve 15–20 welds per minute with CD welding systems.

  • Versatile Applications
    Ideal for HVAC, automotive, construction, aerospace, and more.

  • Optional Washers
    Use insulating or beveled washers for foil protection and arc prevention.

Cuphead welding

To weld cuphead pins with 220V CD equipment, connect the welder to a 220-240V outlet, attach the ground clamp to clean metal, and secure a magnetic chuck in the weld gun. Load a cuphead pin, pierce the insulation until the pin contacts the metal, and apply ~1/8 inch pressure. Pull the trigger to weld, pausing briefly before lifting. Ensure proper voltage settings to avoid hot or cold welds, and verify a strong bond with no burn-through. Consult the manual for safety and settings.
