ArcDrive is Böhler Welding’s fundamental enhanced MIG/MAG process, featuring an exceptionally stable and highly reactive welding arc. This technology significantly facilitates welding, especially in difficult positions and with variable free wire exit lengths. A key benefit of ArcDrive is a significant reduction in weld spatter, which minimizes the need for time-consuming post-processing and reduces material costs.

The ArcDrive process is optimized for welding a wide range of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum, and works effectively with cored wires. With precise arc control, welders achieve higher weld quality and greater productivity.

RapiDeep is Böhler Welding’s patented, innovative MIG/MAG welding process designed to maximize penetration depth while minimizing heat input (linear energy). It features a highly concentrated arc that penetrates the material deeper and more efficiently than standard short-circuit processes. This translates into the ability to weld thicker materials without beveling or with a reduced bevel angle, which significantly reduces joint preparation time and consumables consumption.

The key benefit of the RapiDeep process is a significant increase in welding speed, by up to 30-50% compared to traditional MIG/MAG methods, while maintaining excellent weld quality and less distortion of the welded part. It is ideal for industries requiring high productivity and quality, such as in steel construction, mechanical engineering and shipbuilding. (Availability of the RapiDeep function depends on the specific machine model and software version, such as SteelDrive).

The greenWave® technology is Böhler Welding’s patented inverter solution that provides exceptional energy efficiency (PF power factor close to 1) and stable operation of the equipment even when the supply voltage is unstable. Thanks to greenWave®, Böhler Welding equipment consumes less electricity, which directly translates into a reduction in operating costs of up to 30% compared to conventional transformer sources.

In addition, the technology often includes an autolink function that allows the device to automatically adjust to different input voltages (e.g. 1x230V, 3x230V/400V), which increases the flexibility of applications in different workshop and field conditions. greenWave® also means increased reliability and protection of electronic components from fluctuations in the power supply.
