PORTABLE POWER SOURCES WILL TRANSFORM ORBITAL WELDING

Orbital welding can be carried out more productively and at lower cost by using new additions to the ESAB Aristo range.

When used with suitable welding heads these three Aristo power sources can help produce high quality tube welds in the food, beverage, dairy, chemical, pharmaceutical/biochemistry, semi-conductor, aerospace, shipbuilding, and general engineering industries.

Mechanised TIG welding is an efficient way to increase productivity, improve quality and reduce costs when welding tubes. The Aristo MechTig C2002i is highly adaptable, enabling systems to be configured to precisely match customers’ requirements.

The Aristo MechTig C2002i is a compact, robust and user-friendly power source that incorporates an integral water cooler and high-specification controller. It comes with a graphical interface, a program library and auto-generation of welding programs.

This machine delivers 180 Amps at a 35% duty cycle, or 110 Amps at a 100% duty cycle. Both the rotation motor and the wire feed motor are controlled by the control unit, which ensures that the welding parameters remain close to the ideal.

If using a higher current then ESAB can supply the Aristo MechTig 3000i or Aristo MechTig 40000i. The user interface is the same as for the Aristo MechTig C2002i power source.

The Aristo MechControl 2 control unit has the same control features as the Aristo MechTig C2002i but is fitted to either the Aristo MechTig 3000i or Aristo MechTig 40000i power source depending on the application.

The Aristo MechControl 4 is similar to the Aristo MechControl 2, but can drive four motors with additional arc voltage control (AVC) and weaving control, and is offered with the same power sources.

Aristo MA23 and Aristo MA23A control panels can be used with the new Aristo power sources.

Aristo MechTig C2002i, the Aristo MechControl 2 control unit, the Aristo MechControl 4, the Aristo MechTig 3000i, and the Aristo MechTig 40000i complement the three Aristo high-performance MIG welders which were launched in 2007. They were the Aristo MIG C3000i integrated welding power source and wire feeder; the Aristo MIG L3000i power source; and the Aristo Feed L3004 wire feed unit for use with Aristo MIG L3000i.
