Increase Productivity, Quality and Flexibility
AUTOMATED SOLUTIONS
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is the first power source to introduce Waveform Control
Technology
™
to submerged arc welding. Variable frequency and amplitude AC, DC
positive or DC negative output allows the user to control the deposition rate and penetra-
tion. An operator can increase weld speeds, yield higher quality welds and improve effi-
ciencies in a single or multi-arc environment. The phase angle and frequency of different
machines can also be synchronized to balance the interactions between multiple arcs and
minimize arc blow. Depending on the output, a welding arc may be driven by a single
machine or multiple machines in parallel for applications that require more than 1000
amps of continuous operation.
