Merkle Weld Factory
An Industry 4.0 software solution for process control and quality assurance, suitable for manual, automated, and robotic welding processes. It features cloud-based architecture and IoT protocol communication for enhanced productivity.
WPS/WPQR Package
Offers pre-set welding parameters for different jobs, eliminating the need for separate settings. For example, welding a butt weld of 15 mm thickness requires specific settings for root run, filler bead, and final run, all displayed on a multifunctional display.
PulseARC Technology
Highlighted for its economical, safe, and versatile features, including 35 programmable parameters for process control, 13 variable ignition parameters, and 144 programmable pulse forms. It reduces spatter emission compared to traditional MIG/MAG welding.
Interpulse Process
Enhances welding of aluminum and stainless steel by adding a second pulse to the base pulse, offering TIG-like quality with MIG welding speed, reduced material heating, and distortion.
Technical Specifications
Lists specifications for HighPULSE welding units, including power supply, frequency, continuous power, current, voltage, duty cycle, protection class, cooling, and program options. Also details dimensions, weight, and additional features like wire feed control and torch cooling options.
