In 2009 GYS, a French welding equipment and battery charger manufacturer, opened a new R&D Centre. A major development has been the introduction of Power Factor Correction (PFC) and Flexible Voltage technology across a range of MMA, TIG and Plasma machines.

PFC is said to offer a host of benefits, not least in reducing power MMA machines will allow high duty cycle welding at 160A (sufficient for 4mm rods) on a regular 13A power supply.

GYS is also equipping machines with Flexible Voltage technology. GYS FV machines can operate at any voltage in the range 85-265V and are suitable for 110V applications and whenever there is a likelihood of variations in voltage.
