TP 2500 welding system
The TP 2500 and TP 3500 power sources
are a further highlight of the new generation
of inverter power sources. Using powerful
electronics, a unique high-performance,
lightweight welding system has been crea-
ted.
The power source works on resonance in-
verter principles and therefore offers a
number of advantages:
-
Intelligent control for stable arc and
ideal characteristic
-
Excellent ignition and weld properties,
extremely lightweight and with a very
small footprint
-
High switching frequencies and opti-
mum efficiency
An electronic adjuster adapts the power source characteristic to suit the welding electrode.
Selectable modes provide perfect welding results when using rutile electrodes, basic elec-
trodes or cellulose electrodes (CEL).
Device concept
All versions of the TP 2500/3500 power source are small and compact, yet at the same
time so robust that they will function reliably even under harsh conditions. A powder-coated
sheet steel housing with stainless steel runners, controls and connection sockets (with
bayonet fixing) protected by a plastic frame satisfy the highest demands. The handle facil-
itates easy transportation, both in-house or on-site.
In addition to the many features of the standard TP 2500/3500 power source, the TP 2500/
3500 RC, TP 2500/3500 TIG, TP 2500/3500 VRD and TP 2500/3500 MVm versions offer
a further raft of options.
Application areas
In addition to manual metal arc welding, the systems in the TP 2500/3500 series also offer
convenient functions for TIG welding, e.g. touchdown ignition and the practical TIG Com-
fort Stop (TCS). The TP 2500/3500 TIG also has the TIG pulsed arc welding mode.
Thanks to their small dimensions, the machines in the TP 2500/3500 series are especially
well suited to portable use on building sites and for assembly work. But even when used
as stationary units in workshops or industrial facilities, the machines are powerful and eco-
nomical alternatives.
