General remarks

Principle of the digital family of machines

The new welding machines are completely microprocessor
controlled inverter power sources. The actual data are measu-
red continuously, and the machine responds immediately to
any changes. The control algorithms ensure that the specified
target status that is desired is maintained.
This leads to a hitherto unique and incomparable precision in
the weld process, exact replicability of all results, and superla-
tive welding properties.

Machine concept

Typical features are their tremendous flexibility and extremely
easy adaptability to many varied tasks. The reasons for these
welcome characteristics may be found not only in the modular
product design, but also in the scope that the system gives for
troublefree system extensions.

Areas of use

In the workshop and industrial fields there are innumerable
areas of application for the TotalArc² 3000 / 4000 / 5000. For
manual welding, but also for automated tasks, they are the ideal
power sources. As far as materials are concerned, they are of
course superbly suitable for the classic steel field, for galva-
nised sheets, for chrome/nickel, and have very good suitability
for aluminium. Due to the special programs of E+C EnDOtec
welding filler wires the TotalArc² 3000 / 4000 / 5000 are
especially suitable for use in preventive maintenance.

The TotalArc 3000 is a MIG/MAG welding machine with an
integrated 4-roller drive and a cooling circuit. 270 amps of
power from only 71 kg of weight - this makes it simply ideal for
on-site / maintenance use, e.g. out in the field or in repair
workshops.
The TotalArc 2 4000 / 5000 machines, with 400 A and 500 A
respectively, are designed to meet the toughest industrial
requirements. They are just as well suited for use in the fields
of apparatus construction and chemical plant engineering as in
the automobile and component vendor industries, rolling-stock
construction and shipbuilding, and general engineering.
All the machine are multiprocess-capable (constant / drooping
output characteristic), which is why they perform just as brilli-
antly at TIG touchdown ignition and manual electrode welding
as they do when used for the MIG/MAG process.
