ArcDrive is a fundamental improved MIG/MAG process from Böhler Welding, featuring an exceptionally stable and dynamically responsive welding arc. With precise digital control, ArcDrive significantly reduces spatter, which minimizes the need for time-consuming post-processing and lowers the cost of additional materials.

The process is ideal for welding a wide range of materials, including carbon steels, stainless steels, aluminum and cored wires. It provides excellent weld quality and makes welding easier, especially in difficult positions, increasing the efficiency of the welder.

PulsDrive is a digitally controlled MIG/MAG pulse process based on the “one pulse – one drop” principle. This advanced technology provides excellent control over the transfer of material into the weld pool, resulting in welds of exceptional smoothness and aesthetics, comparable to the TIG method.

By precisely controlling the pulse energy, PulsDrive minimizes the introduction of heat into the material, reducing distortion and improving the mechanical properties of the joint. It is ideal for welding thin sheet metal, aluminum, stainless steel and heat-sensitive materials, guaranteeing the highest quality and repeatable results.

RapiDeep is Böhler Welding’s patented MIG/MAG process that revolutionizes welding with a concentrated arc that provides deeper penetration while reducing heat input. This enables welding at speeds that are up to 50% higher than traditional short-circuit methods, which directly translates into increased productivity.

The RapiDeep process is particularly effective for welding carbon and stainless steels, allowing excellent quality fillet and butt welds with fewer stitches. *The availability of this process may be optional and depends on the software configuration of the machine.

QuickPulse is an advanced MIG/MAG pulse welding process that combines the deep penetration advantages of RapiDeep with the superior control and arc quality of PulsDrive pulse welding. The result is a significant increase in welding speed (up to 50% faster than standard pulse) while maintaining deep penetration and low heat input (H.I.).

QuickPulse is ideal for applications requiring high performance and quality, especially when welding aluminum and stainless steels. It provides excellent groove filling and an aesthetically pleasing weld face. *The availability of this process may be optional and depends on the software configuration of the machine.

CladPulse is a specially developed MIG/MAG pulsed process for surfacing (cladding). It is characterized by extremely low dilution (melting of the parent material), which is crucial for preserving the properties of the surfaced layer. A soft and stable arc ensures high surfacing efficiency and excellent surface quality.

With CladPulse, it is possible to achieve the required properties of a protective, anti-corrosive or wear-resistant layer often in just one layer, significantly reducing process time and material costs. *The availability of this process can be optional and depends on the device’s software configuration.

greenWave® is Böhler Welding’s patented inverter technology that is at the heart of URANOS NX equipment. It provides extremely high energy efficiency, achieving a power factor (PF) close to unity (≈0.94-0.99). This means a significant reduction in power consumption by up to 30% compared to conventional sources, resulting in lower operating costs and a lower environmental impact.

In addition, greenWave® technology provides protection against unstable supply voltages and an autolink function (automatic adjustment to 3x230V or 3x400V input voltage), ensuring reliable operation in any industrial environment.

The MultiLine Three Level® Inverter is another key patented Böhler Welding technology implemented in URANOS NX PME sources. This advanced three-level inverter architecture provides exceptional performance, reliability and instantaneous response and control of the welding arc.

With this technology, it is possible to reduce the size and weight of the machine while increasing its power and efficiency. This results in more precise control of the welding process, which is key to achieving the highest quality welds in demanding industrial applications.

The Double Pulse / Twin Pulse function of URANOS NX PME is an advanced MIG/MAG welding current modulation that produces welds with impeccable aesthetics, resembling the scales characteristic of the TIG method. The process involves the superimposition of two different pulsation frequencies, which provides excellent control over the weld pool and weld shape.

Double Pulse is particularly beneficial for welding aluminum and stainless steels, where the appearance of the weld is as important as its mechanical properties. It reduces the amount of heat input, which minimizes distortion, especially when welding thin materials.

The Böhler Arc system is the intelligent heart of URANOS NX equipment, offering up to 600 predefined synergy programs for a wide range of materials, wire diameters and shielding gases. Once the appropriate program is selected, the device automatically adjusts all key welding parameters, ensuring optimal arc conditions.

This advanced synergy significantly simplifies and speeds up the setup of the machine, minimizing the risk of errors and guaranteeing reproducible, high quality welds, even with less experienced operators. Professionals will appreciate the ability to precisely adjust parameters within the selected program.
