Equipment Type


	Equipment Type:
	Your choices are...
	Complete System		Complete welding systems include brazing, cutting, soldering, and/or surfacing subsystems. They also include a power source or station; a torch, iron or gun; cables, feeders, and positioners; robots; and other required components.
	Power Source / Station		Power sources or power stations are power supplies used for soldering irons, tungsten inert gas (TIG) guns, metal inert gas (MIG) guns, electrode holders, laser, electron beam guns, or other joining units. The required output power is enough to melt the material. Welding power supplies are sometimes called welding power sources. Soldering power supplies are called soldering stations.
	Gun / Torch		Irons, torches, or guns provide a point-source of heat for melting solder or filler alloys at a joint or interface. Typically, soldering irons are heated using electrical resistance. Gas torch or hot air-heated irons are also available, and are useful in plumbing or field applications where an electrical power source is not available. Gas burning, oxyfuel, and plasma torches are also used in brazing and welding applications.
	Monitor / Controller		Monitor / controller equipment is used for sensing joint quality (size or integrity), gap, position, or output power supply variations. Controllers are also used to adjust parameters in order to compensate for variations in joint quality or output power.
	Other		Other unlisted equipment types.

Input Power


	AC Voltage & Frequency:
	Your choices are...
	115 / 120V 60 Hz		Devices are rated for 115/120-V 60-Hz power.
	208-230 / 240V 60 Hz		Devices are rated for 208 - 230 / 240-V 60-Hz power.
	460 / 480V 60 Hz		Devices are rated for 460 / 480-V 60-Hz power.
	575 / 600V 60 Hz		Devices are rated for 575 / 600-V 60 Hz power.
	50 Hz / International Power		Devices are rated for 50-Hz or other international voltage levels.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Input Current:		Input current is the rated current required for proper operation of the machine.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Phase
	Your choices are...
	Single-phase		Single-phase power is the standard for commercial and residential applications. The term "single-phase" means one sinusoidal or other alternating-voltage pattern.
	Three-phase		Three-phase power contains three simultaneous, sinusoidal or other alternating-voltage patterns, typically 120° out of phase with each other. Higher power efficiency and smoothness of operation are possible with three-phase operation. Three-phase power is used most often for industrial or high-power motors.

Output Power


	Duty Cycle:		Duty cycle is the percentage of time a welding unit can remain on in a ten-minute period before powering-off to cool in order to prevent damage to components.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Output Power Capability:
	Your choices are...
	AC Output		The current output varies over time sinusoidally with an alternating current (AC) supply.
	DC Output		The current remains a constant value over time with a direct current (DC) power supply.
	AC/DC Selectable		Selectable power sources can provide an AC or DC output as needed.
	High Frequency		High frequency power supplies are used for induction welding and arc welding of aluminum or other alloys with a tenacious oxide skin. High frequency is useful in initiating an arc.
	Pulsed		Pulsing or sequencing of current, polarity, or arc duration can reduce spatter and improve weld quality.
	Wave Shaping		The machine has a wave shaping output capability. The ability to shape the output power wave form can be an advantage when welding certain aerospace alloys.
	Square Wave		The machine has a square wave waveform output capability, which provides abrupt changes in power supply from crest to peak.
	Constant Current / CC		The machine has maintains a constant or steady output current level.
	Constant Voltage / CV		The machine has maintains a constant or steady output voltage level.
	Other		Other, proprietary or specialized power output or wave form capability.

Features



	Your choices are...
	Automated (Robot / CNC)		The machine has an integral or optional automation unit, such as a robot or CNC table.
	Engine Driven Generator		Engine-driven generator refers to gasoline, diesel, or other fuel-powered motor-generator welding power sources.
	Marine Duty / Corrosion Resistant		Machines are designed for applications which require resistance to water or corrosion. Examples include shipyards, mines, paper mills, chemical plants, oil fields, underwater welding, bridges, or offshore drilling platforms.
