UNIVERSAL WELDING MACHINES ARE ULTRA-VERSATILE
12 September 2003 - ESAB Group

ESAB's new AristoMig Universal welding machines are suitable for welding virtually all weldable metals, including stainless steel and aluminium, in thicknesses from 0.5 mm upwards. As well as MIG/MAG and pulsed MIG, the units can also be used for DC-TIG, pulsed TIG and MMA welding, or for Carbon Arc gouging. Notwithstanding this remarkable versatility, the AristoMig Universal machines produce high-quality welds and allow the user to work extremely efficiently.

Customers can choose models with a 320, 400, 450 or 500 Amp power supply and there is an optional water-cooling unit that is suitable for both MIG welding guns and TIG torches. Two compatible wire feeders are also available, namely the AristoFeed 30 and AristoFeed 48.

For controlling the welding system, customers can specify either the new U6 machine interface panel or the U8 AristoPendant control unit. Both are highly advanced units on which up to 99 sets of welding parameters can be stored, and the controllers are delivered with a number of pre-programmed synergic lines that enable users to start welding as quickly as possible. If a customer has a number of AristoMig Universal machines carrying out similar tasks, the AristoPendant can be used to transfer welding parameters very quickly via a memory card.

Furthermore, ESAB has also developed a PC program to handle the synergic lines created on an AristoPendant U8. These synergic lines can then be downloaded to AristoMig Universal machines equipped with either the U6 machine interface panel or the AristoPendant.

Thanks to the use of stored synergic lines and the versatility of the welding machine itself, the AristoMig Universal is simple enough to be used by inexperienced welders, but sophisticated enough that skilled users can achieve exceptional results in a very wide variety of applications.
