TIG welding machine Discovery 172T
Discovery 172T is an innovative Single-Phase Inverter Power Source for TIG DC and MMA welding.
Discovery 172T is specifically designed for high definition construction, petrol/chemical plants, food& beverage industry and shipyards. The Weco Special HF control provides 100% rapid and precise arc ignition.
Ordinary steels, stainless steel and copper can be easily welded in TIG DC. The TIG DC welding is here optimized thanks to:
TIG PULS up 2,5 Khz ,TIG PULS SYN, Dynamic Arc, Q-Start, Multi-Tack, Q-Spot
Technologies Key Benefits
Special functions
TIG Pulsed SYN
Pre-set balanced parameters, stored in the Synergic Pulse TIG DC SYN curve, simplify Pulsed welding by adjusting only welding current.
TIG 2.5 kHz
The pulse TIG with frequency until 2500Hz allows to weld very thin materials with easy arc control and very low heat input on workpiece.
Q-Start
The Q START (Quick Start) function facilitates joining of the parts in the initial stage of the welding process.
On activating this function the machine automatically switches to Synergic pulsed mode for a preset time. The resulting pulses create movement of the molten metal on the two sheet metal edges thereby accelerating formation of the join.This function is invaluable in the case of seams with slight openings or with irregular preparation. The duration of the series of pulses can be adjusted, (from 0.1 to 60 second) depending on the thickness and shape of the sheet to be welded.
Multitack
The MULTITACK system makes it possible to reduce heat output while joining two light gauge parts. The series of arc strikes at short time intervals allows the material to cool during the pause between one strike and the next and thus minimize its deformation. The facility to adjust the frequency of the series of arc strikes in the time unit makes it possible to adapt the electric arc to the welding speed and the joint geometry.
Dynamic Arc
The DYNAMIC ARC function makes it possible to keep the product of Voltage x Current constant. The power source increases the welding current as the arc voltage decreases and reduces the welding current if the arc voltage increases.
Q-Spot
The Q-SPOT (Quick Spot) function makes it possible to minimise tacking times for light gauge sheet metal. The operator conveniently places the tungsten electrode on the fixing point, thereby obtaining perfect control of the position of the join. Once the electrode has been lifted the machine emits a very high intensity welding current pulse with a very short preset time (from 0.01 Sec to 10 Sec). The pulse time varies depending on the type of sheet metal to be joined. In this way the welded point closes instantly with minimum heat transfer, leaving the metal white, clean and almost cold.
