KHz pulses (metallurgic pulses)
The kHz pulses (metallurgic pulses) use the plasma pressure produced at high currents (arc pressure)
which is used to achieve a constricted arc with concentrated heat feeding. The frequency can be infinitely
adjusted from 50 Hz to 15 kHz and the pulse balance from 1-99 %.
In contrast to thermal pulses, the pulse edge times are not required.
The pulse process continues during the up-slope and down-slope phases!

Select balance
Setting range: 1 % to +99 % (1 % increments).
Select frequency
Setting range: 50 Hz to 15 kHz (0.01 kHz increments).
Automated pulses
The automated pulses are used with tacking and spot welding of workpieces in particular.
An oscillation in the molten pool is produced by the current-dependent pulse frequency and balance,
which positively influences the ability to bridge the air gap. The pulse parameters required are
automatically specified by the machine control.
