1000 AC/DC Power Source for Submerged Arc Welding

This machine is ideal for automated welding in heavy-duty industrial environments such as welding wind tower structures, nuclear components, beams, bridge components, trailer beams, excavator components, and general fabrication applications.

ESAB Welding and Cutting Products (Florence, SC) offers the Aristo 1000 AC/DC power source for sub-arc welding. This machine is an inverter power source that can be connected to three-phase input voltage supply (from 380 to 575V at 50 or 60 Hz). This power source uses unique, patent-pending technologies to deliver the best welding performance with the lowest power consumption. The result is a power source that will deliver more welding per kWh.

The Aristo 1000 AC/DC allows the user to switch between AC and DC currents without stopping the welding process. This “on the fly” function minimizes downtime and maximizes weld quality because the user doesn’t have to stop and re-start when changing currents. The system offers full control of the settings for AC welding. Using the Bead Profile Modeling^TM function gives the operator full control over the AC frequency, balance and offset. This allows the user to optimize penetration profile, heat input, deposition rate, arc stability and stirring effect to suit the situation and need.

Two Aristo 1000 AC/DC units can easily be connected in synchronized parallel mode to deliver more welding current. This machine is designed for heavy-duty industrial environments and is ideal for welding wind tower structures, nuclear components, beams, bridge components, trailer beams, excavator components, and for general fabrication applications.

The system features Cable Boost^TM technology, which stores energy and instantly delivers up to 450 percent more energy when needed.  Users can double the maximum usable weld cable length without compromising weld quality. Cable Boost^TM saves energy by re-using the inductive energy generated in the welding cables in the welding process instead of allowing that energy to be wasted as heat and power loss.

The Aristo 1000 AC/DC can be controlled by a remote function and can easily be switched off – even in a remote location – to save energy. The machine is built for the toughest environments while reducing installation and operating costs. The machine’s power-efficient components reduce installation- and running costs and reduce carbon footprint.
