TIG RCT - Running coldTACK

RCT is the acronyms of Running cold.TACK; indeed, the TIG RCT process allows to benefit of all the cold.TACK advantages, by repeating the single cold.TACK point in a continuous way, in order to achieve a cold and perfect welding seam.

Using TIG RCT the welding seam is much colder in comparison to the one achievable with Pulse TIG and it represents the ideal solution to weld thin materials with a very low heat transfer. TIG RCT is a direct current process not available in AC welding.

coldTACK

Innovative spot welding device to achieve precise and safe joining with a minimal thermal input.

Multi-cold.TACK function grants cold spotting in a rapid sequence, thus further widening the benefits of the single spot.

Thanks to Perfect-Point function, cold.TACK allows to obtain the most precise spot positioning.

CYCLE FUNCTION

“CYCLE” function allows to continuously switch between two current values, by previously preselected simply pressing the torch trigger. This function is most suitable for welding different thickness profiles, requiring a continuous current adjustment change.

MMA FUNCTIONS

Adjustable Arc Force for choosing the best welding arc dynamics. Adjustable Hot Start to improve the arc striking with difficult electrodes Electrode Anti-sticking function.

BALANCE PLUS

Possibility of independently adjust both current time (t) and its amplitude (A) while staying in either positive or negative polarity, by offering a perfect control of penetration and arc cleaning with a drastic reduction in lateral undercuts.

WAVE SHAPES SPECIAL TIG AC FUNCTIONS

DYNAMIC

Square wave: high arc dynamics for all applications

SOFT

Sinusoidal wave: smoother and softer arc with a reduced noise, ideal for medium thickness

SPEED

Mixed wave: optimal penetration at high welding speed and low consumption of the electrode

COLD

Triangular wave: low heat transfer with reduced deformation, ideal for small thickness

FREQUENCY CONTROL IN AC

Frequency adjustment of the various AC wave shapes for better directional control, reduction of the thermally altered area, deeper penetration and electrode lower wearing out.
High level frequency enables to weld very thin material with excellent results. Low frequency is ideal for medium thickness or whenever edge preparation is not accurate.
