Details
The benefits of this technology are not to be underestimated.Firstly,on CV (MIG/MAG) welding characteristics are superior to any conventional step voltage or thyristor MIG machine.With a super smooth stable arc,low spatter and increased welding productivity.The PCB monitors the arc up to 10,000 times per second and makes tiny corrections to the output to seamlessly maintain the exact power.This even corrects unstable input power and long cable runs.
Variable electronic inductance allows you to tune the arc characteristics to suit your exact requirements, a lower setting gives you a crisp high deposition cool arc,ideal for positional welding and minimising penetration on thin materials,increasing the inductance gives a softer arc with more penetration and minimal spatter.There is also a built in arc start and finish circuit for instant smooth arc starting every time you press the trigger which prevents 'machine gunning' at the start and means its also possible to run aluminium wire on a standard MIG torch on any of these machines with ease.
Switch to CC(MMA +TIG) and the arc again is perfect,with instant arc starts and smooth stable current from min to max power.As an additional benefit power consumption is low like the best inverter and much better than traditional MIG welders.OPTeARC hybrid technology gives you the benefits of a good inverter with rugged reliability of a transformer based Mig welder.Further more there is only one PCB fitted -meaning less to go wrong.
Supplied with MB36-3m torch,power lead,gas hose and regulator.
