Description
Using the most modern IGBT based inverter technology, the
threephase TIG generator with high frequency MATRIX 4000-
5000 AC/DC or 4000-5000 AC/DC R ignition, comes with an
innovative digital control for all welding parameters.
Technologically cutting-edge, robust, easy to use with both di-
rect and alternating current, fitted with high potential digital con-
trol, this generator can be used for high quality TIG welding of
all metals including aluminium and alloys. This means that the
machine is particularly suitable for specific uses in industry and
the maintenance sector.
It also guarantees excellent performance for MMA welding,
even when using particularly difficult cellulosic and basic elec-
trodes.
Features
The characteristics found in all welding machines in the MA-
TRIX AC/DC range are:
• Innovative and compact design.
• Compact size and light weight for easy transportation.
• Metallic main structure with shock-proof plastic front panel.
•
Sloping front panel, easy to read and adjust and highly vis-
ible from any direction.
• Robust handle integrated into the chassis.
•
Digital control, regulation and monitoring of all welding pa
-
rameters.
• Digital display for pre-setting welding parameters.
•
Digital ammeters and voltmeters are standard fittings, with
pre-setting of welding current and saving of the latest value
(Holdfunction).
•
coldTACK function in TIG HF DC. Innovative spot welding
device to achieve precise and safe joining with a minimal
thermal input. “Multi-coldTACK” function grants cold spot-
ting in a rapid sequence, thus further widening the benefits
of the single spot.
• Feature that makes it possible to save and call up personal-
ised welding programs.
• Self-diagnosis device.
• Overheating thermostatic protection.
•
Automatic compensation for mains voltage fluctuations with-
in -20%/+15%.
• Safety barrier against excess voltage from mains.
•
Electromagnetic disturbance is reduced due to high frequen-
cy being involved only during the arc ignition phase.
•
“Energy Saving” function to operate the power source cooling
fan andthe torch water cooling only when necessary.
• Low absorbed current consumption.
• This generator also conforms to all the standards and direc-
tives in force in the European Community.
• MATRIX 4000-5000 AC/DC R - Suitable for use on all robot-
ic systems.
•
MATRIX 4000-5000 AC/DC R - Optional “RoboMAT 1” inter-
face that handles all process start/ stop signals, regulation of
the principal welding parameters, and also acts as a flexible,
efficient interfacing system that meetsall Analogue / Digital
connection requirements.
• TIG
- Excellent TIG welding characteristics.
-
High frequency arc striking of TIG welding, precise and ef-
ficient even from long distance.
-
Using special TIG torches allows remote adjustment of
welding current directly from the torch.
- The diameter of the electrode used is set to allow greater
control of the ignition and dynamics of the arc.
