Liburdi Pulsweld® offers a complete line of welding power sources which meet the most demanding requirements in industrial manufacturing and aerospace applications. The systems are modular and offer a wide range of innovative features that improve arc characteristics, weld quality and control over the weld process.
Pure Current:
Less than 0.5% peak to peak ripple
High speed up to 1,000 Hz, true square wave pulsing produces a narrow constrained arc with higher arc force which results in lower heat input as compared with conventional power sources.
High Frequency Switching Regulator
Pulse width modulation frequency is 150 kHz
Unlike inverter based power supplies, Pulsweld® unique higher speed switching and current regulation technologies allow the current to be precisely controlled every 6 micro seconds. This in turn provides assurance that the current is always correct in spite of abrupt changes in arc gap, surface contamination, input line spikes, etc.
Control Loop Bandwidth
Small and large signal bandwidth greater than 10 kHz
Fast response time provides precisely regulated current regardless of external forces such as power line interference. The power source maintains sharp rise times with no overshoot for optimum pulsed current applications.
Drift Free Operation
Better than 1% accuracy
Stable, repeatable performance from all Pulsweld® power sources. Weld settings are repeatable from unit to unit for consistency in multi-unit manufacturing operations.
Precision Arc Starter
The Arc Starter uses an impulse design capable of initiating the arc on thin edges at very low current.
Computer Compatibility
Eliminates interference between power source and computer
All systems are designed for computer control and eliminate conducted EMI through control cables. Pulsweld® arc starter designs do not emit high frequency radiation often found in other welding systems.
Options for 50/100 Amp Micro
Gas panel, foot pedal, torches, water cooler, 19" (48 cm) rack mount cabinets available along with integration with Automated Systems. Precise micro plasma torches available.
Standard Modular Systems
GTAW and PAW Systems
Pulsweld's® complete line of 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 Amp power sources are available as modules for ease of maintenance and back up. Separate modular arc starter and/or plasma pilot arc units are available for flexible system configuration.
Welding and Automation Support
Liburdi provides a complete range of robotic motion systems, vision systems, power supplies and controllers, as well as engineering support to develop the weld procedures and qualify the welds for metallurgical quality. |
