MIG welding controller has 255 memories

Believed to be the most intelligent control unit available for MIG arc welding, there are now 255 welding parameter memory positions and a Flash memory for downloading.

A variety of control panels can operate ESAB's Aristo Mig 4000i and 5000i MIG welding digital power sources including the Aristo U8 The Aristo U8 is the most intelligent control unit available, said ESAB and now features more memory positions, new synergic lines and new functions

There are now 255 welding parameter memory positions (increased from 99), which allow the storage of more settings for different applications.

The Aristo U8 is also prepared for a Compact Flash memory, which the operator can use to transfer settings from one controller to an other or for downloading onto a PC for e-mailing to other Aristo users.

The system automatically monitors quality data for each weld - arc time, minimum and maximum current, voltage and power.

All data can be stored on the Compact Flash memory and used as quality documentation for the weldments.

A file manager system allows the operator to manage the files and folders and to organise the data in a structured way.

'Negative hot start' is a new function, which has the following advantages.

* It reduces post weld labour in the circumferential welding of tubes.

* It deposits less weld metal during the start, resulting in an even weld all around the tube.

* It is also an advantage when starting on tack welds. Request a free brochure from ESAB ...
