The Böhler URANOS 1500 TLH offers advanced DC TIG welding capabilities, crucial for achieving the highest quality connections. High Frequency (HF) ignition provides a non-contact start to the welding process, eliminating the risk of tungsten and weld material contamination of the weld, which is particularly important when welding stainless steel and other materials requiring high purity. Alternatively, Lift contact ignition minimizes electromagnetic interference, which is beneficial in EMI-sensitive environments.

In addition, the integrated Pulse TIG DC (basic) function significantly expands process control. Pulsed welding current allows precise management of the amount of heat input (HI), which minimizes material distortion and reduces the heat affected zone (HAZ). This is invaluable for welding thin sheet metal, overheat-sensitive materials and for welds that require excellent appearance and controlled fusion. The result is improved weld quality, greater arc stability and increased productivity.

The Böhler URANOS 1500 TLH is not only a precision TIG source, but also a powerful device for MMA (shielded electrode) welding. It is equipped with a number of features that optimize the process and make the welder’s job easier. The Hot Start function provides easier arc ignition by temporarily increasing the current at the beginning of welding, which is especially useful when working with difficult electrodes or on cold material.

The Arc Force function dynamically adjusts the short-circuit current, stabilizing the arc and preventing it from extinguishing, even when shortening its length. This enables smooth welding in different positions and ensures deeper penetration. The Anti-sticking function reduces the risk of sticking the electrode to the material by automatically lowering the current, making it easier to detach the electrode and protecting it from damage. These integrated technologies increase efficiency, reduce downtime and improve MMA weld quality.
