AC TIG Features

NEW! Blue Lightning™ - High Frequency Arc Starter for non-contact arc initiation. More consistent arc starts compared to traditional HF arc starters. Greater reliability and no maintenance on solid state components. Preset parameters for tungsten sizes from .020 - 1/8 inch provide optimized starting for applications from thick to micro thin material. For unique applications, custom settings are programmable.

Extended AC Balance (30-99%) controls the amount of oxide cleaning (amperage time in EN) which is essential for high quality welds on aluminum.

AC frequency (20-250 hz) controls the width of the arc cone and the force of the arc.

NEW! AC Waveforms

Advance Squarewave, fast freezing puddle, deep penetration, and fast travel speeds.

Soft Squarewave for a soft buttery arc with maximum puddle control and good wetting action.

Sine wave for customers that like a traditional arc. Quiet with good wetting.

Triangular wave reduces the heat input and is good on thin aluminum. Fast travel speeds.

DC TIG Features

Exceptionally smooth and precise arc for welding exotic materials.

Stick Features (AC/DC)

Tailored arc control (DIG) allows the arc characteristics to be changed for specific applications and electrodes. Smooth running 7018 or stiffer, more penetrating 6010.

Hot Start™ adaptive control provides positive arc starts without sticking.

AC frequency control adds additional stability when Stick welding in AC for smoother welds.

Low OCV Stick is a simple design that reduces open-circuit voltage to 5-10 VDC when power source is not in use. This built-in circuit design eliminates the need for add-on voltage reducers.

---------------------------------------------------

Built-in pulser reduces heat input; adds arc stability (DX model only).

Fan-On-Demand™ cooling system only operates when needed.

Auto-Line™ provides state-of-the-art flexibility by automatically connecting to 120-460 VAC, single- or three- phase power without removing the covers to relink the power source. No longer is there a concern if you have the correct machine for the shop or the job site.

Portable in the shop or at the job site - at 45 lb the unit is easily moved from location to location.

Lift-Arc™ start provides TIG arc starting without the use of high frequency.

Wind Tunnel Technology™ is an Internal air flow that protects electrical components and PC boards from dirt, dust, and debris, greatly improving reliability.

LVC™ Line Voltage Compensation
Keeps output of the power source constant regardless of fluctuation in input power ± 10%.

Squarewave technology is the AC output of a power source that has the ability to rapidly switch between the positive and negative half cycles of alternating current.

Thermal Overload Protection
Internal components are protected from damage by thermal overload protection automatically shuts down the unit if duty cycle is exceeded or air flow and cooling are restricted.
