Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The ALC-701 Arc Length Control is designed for use with GTAW (TIG) or Plasma (PAW) welding, maintaining a constant preset arc length by controlling arc voltage. It is suitable for both DC and AC applications and offers precision voltage control with user-friendly features.
Key Benefits:
  • Maintains constant weld penetration on uneven surfaces.
  • Regulates welding voltage for precise, repeatable procedures.
  • Facilitates easy setup between different parts with minimal operator intervention.
  • Enables higher weld travel speeds and compensates for electrode erosion.
  • Automatically sets the starting arc gap.
Functionality: The system measures arc voltage and adjusts the torch position to maintain the set arc length. It is compatible with both inverter and conventional power sources, and works accurately in pulsed or non-pulsed current modes.
9790 Control Features:
  • Microprocessor-based control with a backlit graphic LCD display.
  • Intuitive interface with touch pads for easy input and parameter changes.
  • Automatic touch retract feature for setting the starting arc gap.
  • Adjustable start and retract delays for synchronized operations.
ALC-401-60D Actuator: This component features a servo-driven motor slide with a ball screw design, capable of handling up to 40 lbs (18 kg) and achieving a maximum travel speed of 30 inches/min (750 mm/min).
Unique Features:
  • Displays set and actual voltage during welding.
  • Offers a wide range of start gap settings and sensitivity adjustments.
  • Includes a unique brake design to prevent torch drift.
Optional Items: Includes remote pendant control, various actuator stroke lengths, and precision cross-slide options.
Associated Controls: Jetline provides a range of controls and fixtures for GTAW and Plasma welding, including arc oscillators, cold wire feeders, and video monitoring systems.
Specifications:
  • Actuator: Recirculating ball screw drive, 6" (150 mm) stroke, 40 lbs (18 kg) weight capacity.
  • Control: Microprocessor with graphic LCD, 5 to 50V DC or AC volt sensing, adjustable sensitivity and deadband.
Ordering Information: The complete system includes the control unit, actuator, and interconnection cable, with optional items available for customization.

Product InformationModel ALC-701 Arc Length Control • Microprocessor Control • DC or AC Applications • GTAW (TIG) or Plasma • Large weight capacity • Precision voltage control Model 9790 Microprocessor Arc Length Control ALC-701 Arc Length Control Used with either GTAW (TIG) or Plasma (PAW) welding, the Jetline Arc Length Control maintains a constant preset arc length via control of the arc voltage. Arc Length Controls yield the following benefits: • Maintain constant weld penetration on uneven surfaces. • Regulation of welding voltage for precise, repeatable procedures. • Easy setup between different parts. • Minimum requirements for operator intervention. • Higher weld travel speeds. • Compensation for electrode erosion. • Automatic setting of the starting arc gap. How does it work? The arc length control measures arc voltage and compares the samples to the operator setting. To maintain the set arc length, the control works with a field proven servo drive to move the torch up or down as required. The arc length control works with (GTAW) TIG and Plasma power sources, either inverter or conventional, in DC, straight and reverse polarity or with AC welding currents. The arc length control is equally accurate and stable in pulsed or non-pulsed current mode. A simple remote cable interface is all that is required. The ALC-701 offers the widest range of features and benefits of any control in its class. 9790 Control - The Brains Using a microprocessor, proven for its use in the welding environment, the 9790 control yields superior performance. Jetline's experience in the design of this type of control for arc welding applications provides the latest and best control of arc length. Some of the key benefits include: • Backlit graphic LCD display for convenient reading and setup regardless of shop lighting conditions. • The LCD displays four lines of information. • Intuitive arrows rather than a lot of dials and switches allow you to input and change settings and parameters. • The polycarbonate overlay includes integral "touch pads" in place of conventional push buttons. • Electrical touch retract (the electrode touches the work and then retracts) allows the starting arc gap to be automatically preset for every weld - the operator has no need for feeler gauges or to view the distance. • Once the touch retract sequence has set the length, the actual arc length regulation can be delayed for up to 99 seconds as the power source, pre-purge arc initiation circuit, upslope, wire feed and oscillation take place. 15 Goodyear St, Irvine, California, 92618 U.S.A. • Tel: (949) 951-1515 • Fax:
