CMT – Cold Metal Transfer
CMT welding is only available in CMT ready machines and is ideal for joining steel and aluminum, as the galvanized steel plate is wetted by this braze-welded joint, while the aluminum melts. Furthermore, the CMT welding process is also suited to the virtually spatter-free brazing of hot-galvanized and electrolytically galvanized sheets with a welding wire made from a copper-silicon alloy. Minimal distortion of the galvanized sheet occurs, and the light-gauge welding of aluminum sheets (from 0.3 millimeters) is also possible, whereby the low heat input eliminates the need for pool support. Equally impressive results are achieved when welding stainless steel and magnesium.
PMC – Pulse Multi-Control
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.
LSC – Low Spatter Control
The user can achieve high-quality weld seams with minimal spattering and an increased deposition rate, as the LSC principle is based on the short circuit occurring at a low current level. This leads to soft reignition and a stable welding process, a significant contrast to the standard dip transfer arc. Control over the arc has been improved significantly thanks to the development of the TPS/i power source platform. The TPS/i recognizes the process phases occurring during the short circuit extremely quickly and reacts to them. The user can therefore achieve outstanding results in conjunction with the new stabilizers.

The Thick Plate Weld Package combines the options of Touch Sensing and Through Arc Seam Tracking into one convenient option.
Function
Benefit
Thick Plate Weld Package can be added to any of the robots (ArcMate Robots or Arc CRX Cobots). If being used for Thick Plate Welding, we recommend going up to the 500 amp power source and a water-cooled weld gun.
Touch Sensing is used to find the position of the parts prior to the initiation of the weld arc. We can use touch sensing to find a joint and weld a stringer joint for the found path. For touch sensing we recommend the TR wire clipper so we have a clean wire to touch sense.
Through Arc Seam Tracking is used to “follow” the weld path. It is for larger weld beads and requires weaving. This is used for large parts where it is difficult to accurately prepare the pieces and thus the joint position and path can vary. Touch Sensing would usually be used to find the arc start position and then TAST would be used to follow the joint.
This package includes multi-pass weld software. When using it, you use Root Pass Memorization and successive beads are deposited upon the top of the prior beads.
