Buddy ARC 400i welding machine
Robust and Powerful
The Buddy™ Arc 400i and 400i XC are heavy duty, fan
cooled, IGBT based inverter controlled power sources
meant for MMA / TIG (scratch-start) welding.
• Inverter controlled - more efficient power usage
• Light weight - improved mobility
• Easy-to-use control panel - quick setup
• Adjustable hot start - easy to strike the electrode,
helps you to avoid starting problems.
• Adjustable arc force - sets the intensity of the arc for
improved weld quality.
• Wide mains voltage tolerance - stable welding controls
• General fabrication
• Railways
• Shipbuilding
• Civil construction
• Pipe workshops
Easy Settings
The simple control panel of the Buddy™ Arc makes it
easy to optimise settings, reducing the time taken for
achieving the best weld characteristics. These units are
equipped with hot start and arc force with the possibility
to adjust parameters during welding. Hot start helps to
avoid starting problems while arc force sets the intensity
of the arc for improved weld quality.
As an option the Buddy™ Arc can be equipped with a
remote control unit.
Energy Efficient
The Buddy™ Arc machines are constructed to maintain a
high power factor and efficiency, thus keeping the energy
cost to a minimum without affecting the weld quality.
Voltage Reduction Device – VRD
In some areas a voltage reduction device, or VRD, is
required. VRD is a safety function that limits the open
circuit voltage from the machine to less than 35V. The
Buddy™ Arc are prepared for VRD and the function can
easily be activated inside the power source.
MMA Welding
A wide current range and powerful welding performance
make the Buddy™ Arc machines suitable for a wide
range of applications and electrode types such as:
- General purpose
- Low-hydrogen
- Stainless steel
- Cellulosic
The BuddyTM Arc 400i XC model has controlled welding
dynamics that provides excellent weld properties for
welding pipe root passes.
TIG Welding
The Buddy™ Arc machines are capable of performing
TIG welding with precise current control. All you need is
an optional TIG-torch with a gas valve, a gas regulator
and a cylinder of gas. You can weld mild steel or
stainless steel material with or without filler material.
Safety and Reliability
The Buddy™ Arc machines conform to the International
Standards that ensure the reliability and safe use of these
machines.
These units are equipped with overheating and mains
over/under voltage protection that will temporarily switch off
the machines automatically to prevent any potential
damage that the components might sustain
