One power source for all welding processes with no compromises on quality!
Picture
Picture
Unlock the full spectrum of welding possibilities by seamlessly combining the iWave 300i, 400i, or 500i with the Multiprocess PRO option. Whether your project demands TIG, MIG, or Stick solutions, this innovative approach offers the freedom to unleash your welding potential.

You even have the option of professional manual metal arc welding, complete with all the advantages of cellulose electrode welding. 

​What sets this apart from conventional multiprocess systems is the inclusion of not only
 advanced TIG functions but also access to every process variant within the realm of MIG welding. Think CMT, PMC, and LSC! Easily tailor your welding experience precisely to your requirements with Fronius's amazing modular welding packages. Let's learn more about what the iWave can do!

CMT- Cold Metal Transfer

CMT (Cold Metal Transfer) process sets itself apart from traditional MIG/MAG welding with its remarkably low heat input and consistently stable arc. CMT lets users join diverse materials, such as steel and aluminum, with ease! The advanced digital process control regulates and maintains a  low current and ensuring spatter-free material transfer. The arc length is detected and adjusted mechanically so it remains stable, no matter the workpiece surface or how fast you weld. This versatility allows CMT to be used anywhere and everywhere, and in every position!

CMT welding is great for joining steel and aluminium and it also produces virtually spatter-free brazing of hot-galvanised and electrolytically galvanised sheets with a welding wire made from a copper-silicon alloy. Experience minimal distortion of the galvanised sheet and light-gauge welding of aluminium sheets- the low heat input eliminates the need for pool support. You can also achieve impressive results when welding stainless steels and magnesium.

PMC- Pulse Mutli Control 

PMC (Pulse Multi Control) process ​elevates the pulsed arc and its stabilizers to new levels. This refined process is distinguished by meticulously controlled, low-spatter droplet detachment. PMC also produces a robust and steady arc, providing impeccable control over the weld pool. Avoid imperfections and ensure consistently reproducible and stable results! Optimized welding for vertical-up seams allows for TIG-like seam rippling, at 40% faster speed, all without the need for an oscillating motion. Plus, PMC considerably reduces the consumption of wearing parts and components, saving you money on your bottom line. 

PMC is ideal for narrow welds with a small opening angle or jobs that require high speeds and high penetration. See improved results particularly for small gaps, fillet welds, and root passes!

LSC- Low Spatter Control

LSC (Low Spatter Control) process is a modified dip transfer arc with extremely high arc stability. Achieve top-notch weld seams with minimal spattering and an enhanced deposition rate, even in an intermediate and spray arc. The foundation of the LSC process lies in the short circuit occurring at a low current level, leading to a gentle re-ignition and a stable welding process. The remarkable performance of the TPS/i plays a crucial role, swiftly recognizing the process phases during the short circuit and responding accordingly. You can achieve outstanding results in conjunction with the penetration stabilizer, especially in a spray arc.

LSC offers big advantages for manual applications- see high weld seam quality with up to 75% less spatter! It’s also idea for root pass welding without weld-pool support, or welding in the downward position or overhead position. Less reworking, less cleaning, less filler material consumption, and less reject welds means less stress and less money wasted!

Your Answer to Quieter Cryo Gas Handling

8/17/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
Imagine a scenario where you're engrossed in your work only to be jolted by a sudden, jarring noise as loud as a blaring car horn. This is the unfortunate daily reality faced by users of liquid nitrogen and other cryogenic gases, as the safety relief valve on their containers unleashes a loud "pop-off" that disrupts the workspace. This not only poses a general nuisance but also a potential safety hazard, particularly when employees are in close proximity.
Picture
Picture
Enter the Series 8636 Whisper Valve- a solution designed to revolutionize cryogenic gas handling by lowering disruptive noise and enhancing safety!

Cryogenic gas users have long been acquainted with the deafening 100 decibel sound that startles employees, derailing their focus and causing unwarranted work interruptions. The Whisper Valve drastically reduces the noise associated with venting built up pressure by skillfully modulating the pressure release. This innovation achieves a noise level barely exceeding 40 decibels- what a difference! The once-thunderous "pop-off" is transformed, fostering an environment of uninterrupted concentration and safety.

Picture
​But the Whisper Valve doesn't merely stop at silencing the noise; it also increases operational efficiency. This device curbs gas losses to less than 48 cubic feet over a span of 24 hours, translating to cost savings for your bottom line! The Whisper Valve is available in three settings—230 psig, 350 psig, and 500 psig. And installation is a breeze, it seamlessly attaches to the vent port of your dewar, then just open the vent valve and enjoy the quiet! 

​
* For added convenience, a wall mount kit is readily available, and the standard CGA 295 inlet connection guarantees a hassle-free integration process*

For those who have asked for a solution to the disruptive cryogenic container noise, the Whisper Valve stands as a game-changer.  Reach out with the form below or give us a call today at (410) 687-8400 to bid farewell to loud workflow interruptions!

Miller's MobileArc is an innovative new way of learning! 

High schools and colleges looking to drum up interest in the welding trade can easily attract and engage future welders with this hands on augmented reality experience. Achieving an even more realistic feel than before, this budget friendly machine features a specially designed helmet mount and a welding gun mount. Designed with ease of use and portability in mind and weighing only 7lbs, this system is perfect for job fairs, interviews, community events and demo days!
Attracting and training welding students can be challenging, but the MobileArc can help students get a taste of welding, improve their skills, or make better informed career moves without breaking the budget. 

One of the best teaching features of the MobileArc is the real-time feedback. Providing immediate insight on user technique helps to correct errors and reinforce proper welding techniques before ever live arc welding.

The simple interface makes it easy for students to work independently, giving time back to instructors. Plus, since it is a simulated environment, you'll save on material costs like wire, gas, and test workpieces! And compared to traditional methods, this realistic welding simulation reduces overall training time. When used in conjunction with Google Chromecast, you are also able to stream the output onto an external display to foster a more collaborative learning environment or show a crowd! 

​Welding is a trade that is losing more workers due to retirement than it
is gaining workers out of school. Miller’s MobileArc is here to help get that
​interest piqued for a new generation of welders!

Clean, polish and etch with the Fronius MagicCleaner

7/17/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
The MagicCleaner by Fronius is innovative technology for TIG weld seams and stainless steel surfaces! Unlike mechanical or chemical cleaning, the MagicCleaner doesn't affect the material surface and requires no exposure time. You can clean and passivate your stainless steel in just one step. Easily achieve a pristine finish to stainless steel! In addition, you can use the MagicCleaner to etch stainless steel- a simple alternative to laser engraving or stickers for printing logos or barcodes.

Fronius offers two options, the MagicCleaner 150 and the MagicCleaner 300. Check out the specifications below to see which one is up to the task!
Picture
The MagicCleaner 150 is ideal for both work sites and shops. It’s nearly ready out of the box, in just 2 steps. Plus, it’s a very portable 4.5 kg! It can clean and passivate TIG weld seams and stainless steel surfaces in one go with alternating current (AC) and electrolyte fluid. You can manually control fluid dosage making for cost-effective electrolyte consumption. Through electrochemical polishing, it removes some base material from the workpiece and lightens surface colouration. Set up is a breeze and you can easily control the operating mode, cleaning performance, and electrolyte dosing from the front panel.
Picture
The MagicCleaner 300 is best suited for more intensive applications and longer TIG welds. The cleaning torch has a patented fume blow system that directs harmful vapors away from the operator, as well as an automatic cleaning agent supply. The tank is a bit larger than the 150 model, an integrated 1.8L tank vs a 100 ml attachable tube, allowing you to work for longer before refill.
Picture
Removing post-weld temper colouration and restoring the protective passive layer at the same time has never been easier. Get consistent lustre after cleaning! Energy-efficient and lightweight, Fronius’ inverter technology offers reduced power consumption for the same output power. With lots of attachment options for cleaning welded pipes, undercuts, sharp edges or complex shapes and polishing linear weld seams, corner welds, t-joints and butt joints, you'll find plenty of uses for the MagicCleaner!  
Picture
Even after cleaning and polishing, this single machine can also permanently inscribe stainless steel surfaces- AC is used for black printing and DC for white printing! ​
Make room in your shop for this useful 3-in-1 tool and enjoy pristine stainless steel finish! Reach out by phone (410) 687-8400 or fill out the form below to find out more about the MagicCleaner!
