MIG/MAG WELDING PROCESSES
forceArc puls XQ
forceArc puls® is a MIG/MAG welding process with a heat-minimised pulsed arc. Easy to handle and suitable for welding non-, low- and high-alloy materials throughout the entire power range.
It is characterised by outstanding gap bridging, even in the high output range and enables controlled welding with an air gap that fluctuates by up to 4 mm.
forceArc puls® – for the best steel and stainless-steel welding of all time with unbelievable cost reductions!
forceArc puls
Advantages:
Faster welding speed- Symmetrical seam formation and the greatest possible seam thickness (throat thickness) on fillet welds.
- Outstanding wetting
- Deeper, more concentrated penetration with reliable root fusion
- Finishing work minimised
- Even for panels with scaling or very impure surfaces
- Minimal stress for the welder while working
- Fewer welding fumes
- Pleasant, quiet arc sound
- Easy to guide (excellent wetting)

Efficient and cost-effective welding
Welding of stainless steel
The forceArc puls welding process® has up to 15 % lower heat input in the upper power range compared to pulse. This results in less discolouration and less distortion in the component.
Other advantages:
- Minimised energy per unit length
- Reduces distortion, discolouration and tension
- Less finishing work (straightening, sanding, cleaning)
- Less melting loss of alloy elements, producing greater corrosion resistance
forceArc puls® forms a symmetrical fillet weld. This is the requirement for achieving the maximum throat thickness for a given deposition rate. Up to 20 % greater throat thickness possible compared to pulsed arc.
Looking at things from a different perspective, this means welding speeds up to 20 % faster can be achieved compared to a pulsed arc process with an identical throat thickness.

wiredArc/wiredArc puls
Welding with constant penetration
With EWM wiredArc, the penetration remains consistent when the stick-out is changed. The innovative control adjusts the wire feed speed and keeps the welding current and voltage consistent for an even heat input.
- Constant welding current thanks to digital process control
- The energy per unit length and heat input remain virtually consistent despite changes to the stick-out
- Consistently high penetration depth, independent of change to the stick-out
- Ability to reduce the seam's included angle and therefore the weld seam volume
