Comparison of Electrex MIG/MAG welding machines
Electrex has several and different options when it comes to MIG/MAG welding machines: Inverter or conventional power source? Electronic or step control? Standard or pulsed? And we could continue with more options. In this article we try to clarify the different lines of Electrex MIG/MAG welding machines: DIGIT II, SYNERGIC II, LTRONIC SYNERGIC, MULTI BASIC and MULTI PULSE.
The most striking difference is the type of power source. The DIGIT II, SYNERGIC II and LTRONIC SYNERGIC lines are based on transformers and the MULTI BASIC and MULTI PULSE lines are with inverter technology. Transformer-based ones allow them to be more accessible in terms of purchase price, but at the same time have more weight and volume, while inverters allow for better energy consumption, low weight and compact design.
Regarding the control, on the DIGIT II and SYNERGIC II the welding voltage regulation is carried out by switches, and the regulation is stepwise. On LTRONIC SYNERGIC, the welding voltage is regulated by thyristors, allowing for continuous adjustment. Finally, on MULTI BASIC and MULTI PULSE, just like LTRONIC SYNERGIC, regulation is carried out electronically, but these through modulation of transistors switching. This allows for a more stable and accurate welding arc.
DIGIT II, SYNERGIC II and LTRONIC SYNERGIC welding machines only allow one welding process, ie they only allow MIG/MAG welding. As the name implies, MULTI BASIC and MULTI PULSE allow, in addition to the MIG/MAG process, coated electrode welding (MMA) and TIG welding (with contact ignition). Therefore, they are multi-process.
SYNERGIC II, LTRONIC SYNERGIC and MULTI PULSE allow welding using synergistic programs, ie welding programs adjusted at the factory and optimized for different metals such as steel, stainless steel and aluminum.
Regarding pulsed MIG/MAG welding, only the MULTI PULSE line offers this type of welding, which is a variant of MIG/MAG, allowing for thin plate welding, almost without projections and out-of-position welding.
