Functions in TIG operation
Perfect ignition with LiftTIG and continuous settings for downslope as well as gas pre- / gas post-flow time
TEDAC DIGITAL® - the digital innovation
The standard Merkle TEDAC® system is working for many years in a huge number of welding machines. For the first time the energy could be controlled and displayed directly at the welding torch via a multi-colored LED - without the need for an additional control cable.
Merkle is now entering a new level of innovation with the new system TEDAC® DIGITAL in terms of efficiency and ease-of-use.
The energy control is carried out directly at the welding torch, the display is brand new with alphanumeric data shown in a well readable digital display on top of the torch.
These are the benefits for the user:
- HIGHER PRECISION due to numeric display of the welding current
- CLEARLY MORE EFFICIENCY due to energy control directly at the welding torch
- EXTREMELY MORE COMFORT thanks to an easily readable alphanumeric display
- MEASURABLE TIME SAVING due to ideal handling and control
With Merkle WPS/WPQR packages to EN 1090 certified results
Job packages for HighPULSE and SpeedMIG!
As one of the leading manufacturers of welding equipment, Merkle offers its customers complete WPS / WPQR packages, which all contain the respective WPQR certificates and also the required welding instructions for standard welding processes. As a welding specialist you can use these already certified welding instructions to create your own welding instructions for the welding tasks required during operation.
Ready programmed work jobs can be stored with the certified parameters inside the continuously controlled welding units of the series HighPULSE and SpeedMIG. Therefore the parameters from the WPS / WPQR manual do not need to be entered separately and are immediately available to the user upon purchase of the WPS / WPQR package.
User benefits with Merkle PulseARC technology:
- Extremely spatter free welding due to the non short-circuit characteristics, one drop transfer:
- tremendous time saving due to reduction of working hours for cleaning
- high deposition rate
- longer life of torch consumables
- less down time due to cleaner consumables
- Safe, spatter reduced ignition due to a new ignition process controlled by 13 parameters:
- 2 independent ignition pulses
- precise soft start of the wire
- slag droplet is removed from the wire end at the end of each weld to ensure a safe re-ignition
- Optimal processing of aluminium and aluminium alloys and stainless steel.
- Optimized welding programs for:
- different materials
- different wire diameters
- different protective gases
- Multiple variations of pulse parameters:
- Manipulation of the arc characteristics and the penetration.
- Alloy elements are maintained due to adaption of the pulse parameters when using high alloyed wire.
