PUK Micro Arc Welder

(Accessories sold separately)

The Micro Arc Welder enables welding of the thinnest material thicknesses & complex structures for applications that are considered largely unsuitable for conventional TIG welders. With pre-set parameters for a variety of alloys & its broad yet finely adjustable power spectrum, the Micro Arc Welder masters even the most challenging welding tasks.

Welding:

• Tried & tested welding curves for all common weldable metals & alloys
• Tremendous versatility due to power range from 5 to 1000 A
• High maximum power on demand for penetration depths up to 1 mm (with 1 mm electrode)
• Welding spot sequence with 3-step selectable speed up to 3.3 Hz
• High resistance without degradation even at high continuous power output

Handpiece, electrode & contacting:

• Stable & agile electrode stroke for fast, easily reproducible welding results
• Compatible with all Lampert standard & premium electrodes from 0.5 to 1 mm
• Weight-optimized handpiece with high-precision ceramic electrode fence (optional)
• Minimized power loss at high welding currents: Reinforced connection sockets for contacting tools with safety plug

Operation:

• Clear, simple device operation with single-screen interface
• Fine adjustment of power output from 1 to 100% for pulse strength & 0.1 to 34ms for pulse duration

• High-resolution display with 768 x 576 pixels for maximum viewing angle even under tough environmental conditions
• Newly designed, patented welding process control preventing welding errors
• Intuitive one-hand operation even with gloves on

Start Welding in 3 Steps:

A ready-to-use Micro Arc Welder welding system consists of the following components: ( make your necessary choice for your set up / needs)

• Micro Arc Welder welding device & Gas hose
• Welding hand piece 1.25M
• Approved eye protection ( Choose between helmet or scope )
• Contacting tool (Choose from clip, tweezer or magnet )
• Tungsten electrode ( choose between 0.8mm & 0.6mm electrodes & pair up with the correct collet )
• Flow regulator

Compelling Variability in Applications:

The Micro Arc Welder accomplishes your joining tasks in industrial metal processing, in the production of electronics, in R&D labs, in repair shops or in mobile applications directly at the customer‘s location wherever precision, reliability, & process controllability is mandatory It has been developed for all weldable materials such as stainless steel, various nickel-based alloys, Mu-metals, titanium, copper, platinum, gold, silver & partly aluminum in material thicknesses even below 0.2mm as a wire, sheet metal or in various metal mixes.

This opens up a wide range of possible applications:

• Welding of the thinnest materials
• Welding of complex shapes & structures
• Liquid & gas-tight bonding of metals & alloys
• Repair welding & weld cladding
• Electrical contacting of conductive wires & electronic components
• Fixing/tacking of workpieces for automated soldering or welding
• Bonding of sensitive surfaces without unfavourable structural or visual impact

A Simple Operating Principle:

If the electrode tip of the welding handpiece touches the workpiece, the welding process starts automatically. At the point of contact, a melting of 0.2 to 4.0 mm diameter occurs under inert gas atmosphere (depending on material & setting). In addition to precious metal alloys such as gold, silver & platinum, many non-ferrous metals such as copper & tin alloys, many steels, titanium & aluminum alloys are also suitable for welding. All alloys suitable for laser or TIG welding can also be welded with the Micro Arc Welder.

Minimal Heat Input & Material Distortion:

The Micro Arc Welder uses a micro-pulse process in which the arc is ignited electronically. Under an argon inert gas atmosphere, the electrical energy acts on the weld spot in a concentrated manner for a few milliseconds via a non-melting tungsten electrode. This reduces heat input to a minimum & produces a permanent joint without the disadvantages of classic joining methods, virtually free of distortion.

Micro Arc Welder vs PUK Welder:

The Micro Arc Welder is based on the same Lampert welding principle as the PUK & has been specially developed to meet specific requirements of industrial demands. It offers the following advantages over the PUK, among others:

• 60% higher performance for welding highly thermally conductive alloys & thicker material thicknesses
• Reinforced connection sockets for contacting tools with safety plug
• Al welding curves for welding of aluminum alloys (mainly flux-cored welding & surface repairs)
• Robust housing with impact-resistant corners & carrying handle for mobile usage
• Wireless connectivity for the operation of mobile eye protection systems
• Device design for increased service life & power load

Advantages in Daily Operation:

No special expertise required:

• Simple & intuitive operation – no specialized training required
• Reproducible & high-quality welding results at any time on all weldable materials
• Incorrect operation of both the connections & the operating system of the device almost impossible
