Böhler Welding’s patented greenWave® inverter technology provides exceptional energy efficiency, achieving a power factor close to unity (PF ≈ 1). This translates into a significant reduction in electricity consumption of up to 30% compared to conventional sources, reducing operating costs. In addition, greenWave® guarantees stable operation even when the power supply voltage fluctuates and is compatible with generator sets.

DCDrive is Böhler Welding’s fundamental digitally controlled direct current (DC) TIG welding process. It provides a stable and precisely controlled DC TIG arc, which is key to achieving high-quality welds in carbon steels, stainless steels, copper and titanium. It gives the welder full control over the process, guaranteeing repeatable and reliable results.

DCPulse is an advanced pulsed DC TIG welding process that offers excellent control over the energy introduced into the weld. By pulsing the current, the welder gains the ability to precisely form the weld pool, which is especially beneficial when welding thin materials, in forced positions and when joining materials that are sensitive to overheating. This results in less distortion, a narrower heat affected zone and a better appearance of the weld face.

FastPulse is a special DC TIG process with high-frequency pulsation, reaching up to 2,500 Hz. It generates an extremely focused and stable arc, which minimizes the heat affected zone and distortion. The main benefit is a significant increase in welding speed – up to 65-90% compared to standard DC TIG, while maintaining excellent quality and deep penetration, especially on thin and medium thickness stainless steel.

EasyArc (TIG DC) is an innovative solution from Böhler Welding that simplifies TIG DC welding, making it more accessible and efficient. The process automatically optimizes more than 12 key welding parameters based on a single setting (e.g., welding current), making it easier for even less experienced welders to achieve excellent results. Benefits include a reduction of the heat affected zone (HAZ) by about 30% and a 50-90% increase in welding speed.

AcDrive is the entry-level, digitally optimized alternating current (AC) TIG welding process from Böhler Welding. It provides a stable and easy-to-control AC arc, which is crucial for efficient welding of aluminum and magnesium. It allows precise adjustment of parameters such as AC balance (affecting cleaning and penetration) and AC frequency (affecting arc focus), giving the welder full control over weld quality on aluminum materials.

AcPulse is an advanced pulsed AC TIG welding process designed specifically for welding aluminum and its alloys. Pulsed AC current significantly reduces the amount of heat input, which minimizes the risk of distortion and burn-through, especially when welding thin aluminum sheets. AcPulse provides better control of the weld pool, narrower welds and excellent face appearance, which is critical in precision applications.

MixAC is an innovative TIG process that combines the advantages of alternating current (AC) and direct current with negative polarity (DC-) in a single welding cycle. The AC-phase ensures effective removal of the oxide layer from the aluminum surface, while the DC-phase guarantees deeper fusion and higher welding speed. The result is cleaner, deeper and narrower welds of excellent quality, especially when welding thicker aluminum parts, increasing productivity and reducing the number of passes.

EasyArc (TIG AC), analogous to the DC version, simplifies the process of TIG AC welding of aluminum and its alloys. By automatically optimizing key AC arc parameters, such as frequency and balance, the process makes arc ignition easier, ensures arc stability and achieves high quality welds with less effort on the part of the welder. This is ideal for increasing productivity and repeatability when welding aluminum.

Böhler Arc TIG is an integrated synergy program system dedicated to TIG welding. Based on the selection of material type, thickness and shielding gas, the device automatically selects the optimal welding parameters, significantly speeding up setup and ensuring excellent results from the first ignition. This function minimizes the risk of errors and increases the reproducibility of weld quality, which is crucial in mass production and precision work.

The myNX system offers advanced options for personalizing the configuration of URANOS NX. Users can customize the interface, save their own welding programs, define parameter limits or activate specific functions. Thanks to myNX, the welder becomes a perfectly adapted tool to the individual needs of the welder and the specifics of the tasks to be performed, which translates into a higher comfort of work and optimization of welding processes.

The Advanced AC Wave Shape Control of URANOS NX AC/DC allows the user to fine-tune the characteristics of the AC arc. The user can choose from a variety of waveforms (e.g., rectangular, sinusoidal, triangular, mixed) to optimize the aluminum and magnesium welding process. The right choice of waveform affects the depth of fusion, cathodic cleaning efficiency, arc stability, noise level and welding speed, ensuring maximum control and the highest quality welds.
