PULSE ARC WELDING STYLUS



I machined this stylus with my lathe and CNC mill out of aluminum. It compares to the Sunstone Engineering Orion HERE and the  PUK 3 pulse arc welders that can weld gold, silver, aluminum, copper, steel, nickel etc. The stylus has a solenoid that retracts the tungsten electrode to start and sustain  a very hot plasma arc and argon gas to shield the weld like a TIG welder. This plasma arc is used as a heat source to melt the metal together. Filler rod can also be used to make strong and reliable welding seams.

    Fritz, How do we get in line for boards to make 2 welders ? and possibly some consulting to help us limp by with our very old welder until boards would be available ?
    I did not see an email address to contact you directly. Thanks. Mitch

    Pete, I'm working on a pulse arc add on for this welder at the moment and I will make everything available when I'm done. This might take a while so please be patient.

    Fritz and folks. I am not a sophisticated computer user, so I can't seem to find a place to buy the boards to build my own. Can anyone help me?

    I would very much like to see the new firmware posted here. Will you be getting more pc boards made to sell? I did not see a place to buy them. When I went to your Amazon store I did not see boards or the PIC micro controller. I can program my own PIC if the firmware is available but would much like to see boards available again. I did quite a bit of searching to find a good battery tab spot welder and this one seems to be the best. The few others I found seem to be hit or miss.

    Thank you.
