Plasma welding is used in applications ranging from welding of light bulb filaments and medical components to high amperage welding of components for aerospace structures. Manual Powderfeed Microplasma systems are used for repair or hard surfacing of a broad range of components.
Components are application specific, torches are modified to feed powder in a hand welding process.
Welding lathes and positioning devices provide part holding and torch positioning features required for close tolerance welding. Standard models and custom designed units are available to meet specific component configurations, including vertical and horizontal positioning. Critical quality control concerns are addressed with Weld Process Controllers. The DT-100 from PWS offers the ability to program welding parameters for exact repeatability, automating the welding process. Equally suitable for use with Plasma or TIG power supplies, this unit allows for improved quality of finished components, reduces weld-set up times and rework thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
