A NEW ERA IN ESAB´S<br />
MECHANISED TIG<br />
PRODUCT RANGE<br />
ESAB is launching three new products to<br />
increase productivity and reduce costs in<br />
orbital welding. First, the Aristo MechTig<br />
C2002i is a compact, robust, user-friendly<br />
power source that features an integral water<br />
cooler and high-specification controller with<br />
graphical interface, program library and<br />
auto-generation of welding programs.<br />
that the welding parameters remain close to the<br />
ideal. Getting the most out of the power source is<br />
simple by virtue of the 10inch colour display; a<br />
Windows-like user interface enables operatives to<br />
call up a program from the built-in library or<br />
generate a program automatically by entering<br />
data such as the material, outer diameter and<br />
tube thickness. Programs generated this way can<br />
be added to the library. Alternatively, all welding<br />
parameters can be set manually via a graphical or<br />
spreadsheet interface.Navigation in the system<br />
and changing of parameters is very easily handled<br />
by a single knob.<br />

Second, the Aristo MechControl 2 control<br />
unit has the same control features as the<br />
Aristo MechTig C2002i but without the<br />
power source and cooler. Third, the Aristo<br />
MechControl 4 is similar to the Aristo<br />
MechControl 2, with additional arc voltage<br />
control (AVC) and weaving control. When used<br />
with suitable welding heads, all three are highly<br />
efficient at producing top-quality tube welds in<br />
the food, beverage, dairy, chemical,<br />
pharmaceutical/biochemistry, semiconductor,<br />
aerospace, shipbuilding and general<br />
engineering industries.<br />
Mechanised TIG welding is an efficient way to<br />
increase productivity, improve quality and<br />
reduce costs when welding tubes. ESAB’s<br />
new modular Aristo MechTig C2002i power<br />
source is highly adaptable, enabling systems<br />
to be configured to precisely match<br />
customers’ requirements. The machine<br />
delivers 180 Amps at a 35% duty cycle, or<br />
110 Amps at a 100% duty cycle. Both the<br />
rotation motor and the wire feed motor are<br />
controlled by the control unit, which ensures<br />
Another feature of the Aristo MechTig C2002i is<br />
the integral printer that can output a hard copy of<br />
the programmed welding parameters and the<br />
measured values for speed, current, voltage, wire<br />
and power. Time and date stamps, plus the<br />
power source ID, run number and total weld time,<br />
aid compliance with traceability requirements.<br />
A USB (universal serial bus) connection enables<br />
users to transfer welding programs between<br />
machines, store backups and update the welding<br />
programs.<br />
If the customer needs higher current then we can<br />
offer the power source Aristo Tig 4000i<br />
together with the control unit Aristo<br />
MechControl 2. The user interface is the same as<br />
for the Aristo MechTig C2002i power source.<br />
For applications requiring arc voltage control and/<br />
or weaving, the Aristo MechControl 4 control<br />
unit provides the necessary additional functionality<br />
when used together with a suitable power source.<br />
ESAB offers numerous welding heads that are<br />
compatible with the three new machines, enabling<br />
Aristo MechTig 4000i with Aristo MechControl 4<br />
complete orbital welding systems to be assembled<br />
to match the requirements of particular applications.<br />
In addition, further options include the Weldoc<br />
WMS 4000 Welding Monitoring Documentation<br />
System for compliance with the ISO 9000/SS-EN<br />
729 international welding quality standard.<br />
