Welding Machines

A welding machine generates heat to fuse metals by passing an electric current through a consumable electrode (for MIG) or a non-consumable tungsten electrode (for TIG). Here’s a simplified breakdown:

1, Power supply: The electric welding machine converts AC power to high-amperage, low-voltage DC or AC, depending on the type.

2, Arc creation: The electrode touches the workpiece, creating a short circuit that melts the metal and electrode, forming an arc.

3, Metal fusion: The intense heat melts the base metals and filler (if used), creating a strong bond as it cools.

4, Shielding gas (in MIG/TIG): Protects the weld pool from contamination.

TOTAL’s inverter welding machine technology enhances efficiency by regulating power output precisely.

A clamp meter measures current flow in a welding machine without disconnecting circuits. Here’s how:

1, Select the correct function: Set the meter to AC/DC current (match your welding machine’s output).

2, Open the clamp: Surround one of the welding cables (not both!) with the meter’s jaws.

3, Read the display: The meter shows the current draw, helping you troubleshoot issues like overheating or inconsistent arcs.

4, Safety first: Always wear insulated gloves and ensure the machine is off when not in use.

This tool is invaluable for diagnosing faults in MIG welding machine or TIG welding machine setups.

Welding Machines cover several types of welding machines, including:

1, MIG welding machine: Uses a continuous wire feed and shielding gas for fast, clean welds.

2, TIG welding machine: Ideal for thin metals or aluminium, offering precise control.

3, Stick (SMAW) welding machine: Uses flux-coated electrodes for outdoor or rusty metal work.

4, Inverter welding machine: Lightweight, energy-efficient models with adjustable settings.

5, Portable welding machine: Compact designs for fieldwork or small workshops.

6, Aluminium welding machine: Specialized for aluminium alloys, often TIG-based.

7, Laser welding machine: For special working purpuse.

Our TOTAL welding machines range also includes portable welding machine options for mobility and small welding machine solutions for limited spaces. Each type of welding machine serves specific needs with varying welding machine price points.

An inverter welding machine uses advanced electronics to convert AC power to high-frequency DC, then steps it down to welding-appropriate voltage and current. Key benefits:

1, Energy efficiency: Consumes up to 30% less power than traditional transformers.

2, Portability: Lighter and smaller due to reduced transformer size.

3, Precision: Adjustable settings for different materials (e.g., aluminium welding machine mode).

4, Durability: Fewer moving parts mean less maintenance.

TOTAL’s inverter welding machine models are perfect for professionals needing reliability and versatility in a compact package.
