Optimized pulsed arc
/ Enhanced process stability from precision adjustment control
/ Spatter-free ignition (SFI)
/ Improved pulse characteristic
/ 12 pulse characteristics included
PMC takes the pulsed arc and its stabilizers to a whole new level. The modified process is characterized by precisely regulated, low-spatter droplet detachment. At the same time, PMC generates a powerful and stable arc which results in perfect control of the weld pool. This enables our users to avoid imperfections. The welding results are always reproducible and stable.

Spatter-free ignition means around 250 milliseconds can be saved per ignition.
The PMC Welding Package contains several characteristics which offer welders numerous advantages. This provides optimum support for every application so welders can achieve a perfect seam. For example, PMC Mix is ideal for vertical-up seams, enabling up to 40% higher speeds – and no oscillating motion.
Package contains:
This characteristic enables high welding speeds compared to a conventional dip transfer arc. This is achieved by combining a pulsed and LSC dip transfer arc.
The result is a smooth transition from a pulsed to a spray arc, which reduces welding spatter. The PCS characteristic improves results, particularly for small gaps, fillet welds, and root passes.
Here we are using a push-pull welding torch. The combination of reversing wire movement and cyclical process switch enables us to accelerate the welding of vertical-up seams. The bonus is a TIG seam appearance at high speed – with ultra-light sheet gauge applications up to 3mm.
The PMC characteristic for visually impressive seams. The result is elegant seam rippling with a TIG appearance. However, thanks to the combination of a coordinated pulse process and defined pause times, the speed is considerably higher than with TIG.
High brazing speed, reliable wetting, and good flow of braze material.
Improved properties when a part is being welded by several arcs that influence one another.
Low penetration, low dilution, and wide seam flow for better wetting.
Thanks to the penetration and arc length stabilizers, this characteristic enables galvanized sheet metal to be welded at top speed. It also reduces the risk of zinc pores and zinc burn-off.
With an activated penetration stabilizer, the TPS/i readjusts the wire speed instead of the welding current, thereby ensuring constant penetration.
An additional wire control keeps the current and penetration constant if the distance between the welding torch and the component changes. The arc becomes significantly more stable and the penetration is always constant.
/ Improved welding quality
/ Save on rework and costs
/ Ideal support for insufficient view or accessibility = stick out fluctuations are compensated for
/ Ideal for position welding
/ Narrower opening angles can be used – saving on filler material
The arc length stabilizer automatically compensates for imperfections. The arc length is kept constant regardless of the welding voltage. As a result, the seam quality and appearance remain unchanged even if the torch position changes or component tolerances vary.
/ Dynamic, changing position of the torch
/ Component tolerances: changing sheet thicknesses or gaps
/ Uneven heat dissipation
/ No need for the welding operation to be interrupted or for manual readjustment of the arc length when the torch position changes
/ Quick determination of parameters
/ Focused arc
/ Faster welding speeds can be achieved
