Svejsemaskinefabrikken Migatronic A/S : New control panel with double pulse function for modern car repair

The new control panel, designed specifically for the auto business, features pulse welding and pulse brazing programs as prescribed by car makers. This makes welding and brazing easily accessible for car body repair shops. Focus is on improved user-friendliness and welding quality as well as safely repaired cars.

Designed Specifically for the Auto Business

Modern-day car structures are made of thin high-tensile steel or aluminium plates and profiles. These structures must be strong enough to meet crash test requirements, also after cars repairs. This makes heavy demands on the welding machines used for repair.

More than 40 years of co-operation with leading car makers places Migatronic in the lead when it comes to providing state-of-the-art joining technology and synergic welding programs that meet the requirements of car makers and car body repair shops.

Once the operators have chosen material and wire dimension at the digital control panel, the welding machine automatically sets all other parameters. This allows operators to focus only on making high-quality welds.

Double Pulse preserves the Strength of Steel

Ordinary pulse has been known by the auto business for several years. Double pulse is an advanced pulse function which combines two pulse levels and thereby creates a new process for sheet metal joining. Sheet metal processing requires specific welding and brazing programs because the load-bearing parts of the car chassis are easily damaged during processing, for example in case of overheating. Double pulse ensures a minimum of heat input which makes the repair process relatively gentle.

Using double pulse, operators have better control of the welding and brazing processes, and weld spatter is reduced to a minimum. This improves the quality of joints and the corrosion resistance because the anti-corrosive zinc layer is preserved on both front and back of plates and panels. The result is a minimum of strength reduction of the steel and safely repaired cars.

Adapted for Future Requirements

The Autopuls panel enables car body repair shops to meet future requirements for welding processes and repair of new types of steel that are being increasingly used by the auto business. Double pulse allows processing thin high-tensile steels precisely according to car makers' instructions. As positive spin-off, car body repair shops will remain qualified to carry out repair jobs for insurance companies.

All versions of the Automig2273i welding machine with Autopuls panel can be upgraded to the new control panel with double pulse at modest expense - and it takes only five minutes to install it.
