Inverter-based
29 January 2014
Welding and cutting technologies expert, ESAB has introduced the Heliarc inverter-based AC/DC power source for AC/DC GTAW (TIG) and SMAW (MMA) welding. Heliarc provides superior AC/DC GTAW (TIG) and outstanding AC and DC SMAW (MMA) performance, including cellulosic (E-XX10, E-XX11) electrodes.
The Heliarc power source uses inverter technology, which delivers significantly increased energy efficiency and superior functionality in a package that is lighter, smaller, and less expensive than old, less efficient SCR technology machines.
Easy-to-achieve, optimised arc settings enable the operator to weld aluminum using a pointed tungsten. The tungsten remains pointed improving arc starts, heat input and arc stability, thus assuring high quality welds.
