Equipment for electric welding is represented by a wide range of various devices, with different power levels and designed to solve different problems. These machines have separate characteristics that determine the type of welding work that can be performed with their help.
By themselves, welding machines are a must for repair, construction and maintenance in large enterprises. Modern equipment of this type is adapted to work with various types of metals. The use of advanced technologies in the production process makes it possible to simplify the work with the devices, making the equipment reliable, multifunctional and convenient.
Equipment used for electric welding is divided into several types.
1. Welding transformer has become an inexpensive and simple solution for working with steel. It performs its functions by melting the electrodes.
2. The rectifier, in its functions, resembles the previous apparatus, its fundamental difference is the ability to transform into variability. This device provides the ability to work with non-ferrous metals, except for aluminum from this list.
3. The inverter compares favorably with all others, with its small mass. This is achieved through the use of transistors and thyristors, which makes it easier to use in places with difficult access. In addition, the inverters are equipped with smooth current regulation, which significantly affects the quality of work and productivity.
4. Semi-automatic device, irreplaceable when welding sheet iron, stainless steel of non-ferrous metals. It is used for arc welding in environments designed for active or inert gases. The welding process itself is carried out by means of wire, which is best suited for aluminum and stainless steel.
5. Combined devices combine a semiautomatic device and a generator in their design. They use direct and high-frequency current.
All models of such devices perfectly cope with cutting and welding of various metal surfaces, which makes them in demand for a wide range of works in various conditions. This makes it necessary for specialized enterprises to purchase such units for use in daily technological operations.
