A weld cylinder having a single piston arrangement is provided. The cylinder has a movable retract piston assembly with the piston arranged within the retract piston assembly. The piston supports a rod that is movable between home, intermediate, work, and advanced work positions. The rod moves rapidly from the home position to the intermediate position however, the rod moves more slowly from the intermediate position to the work position to reduce the impact force a cushion valve supported by the retract piston assembly and a cushion trip valve supported by a front block cooperate to increase the rate at which the rod moves from the work position to the advanced position so that weld force increases rapidly to minimize increases in cycle time. With both the cushion valve and cushion trip valve move from closed positions to open positions, the rate of fluid flow through the retract piston assembly to increase the rate at which the piston moves within the retract piston assembly.
