Compact and portable high performance welding equipment

     

    Our new CORE welding equipment is designed to support you in your daily welding tasks with a powerful combination of intelligent features and user-friendly operation.

    To elevate your welding experience, CORE integrates advanced arc control technologies like Hot Start, which temporarily increases the welding current during ignition. This prevents electrode sticking, ensures smoother arc starts, and improves weld quality – especially on demanding materials.

    The Arc Force function further enhances arc stability and penetration, particularly in challenging welding positions. It’s especially effective when working with basic or rutile electrodes, helping you maintain control even at low arc lengths.

    And when the maintenance indicator lights up, it’s simply a smart reminder that routine servicing is due – ensuring your machine stays in top condition. Clear maintenance instructions are available in the user manual.

      FAQs

      • CORE inverters can be used for MMA, MMA puls, TIG LIFT and TIG LIFT-SPOT modes, offering flexibility for various welding tasks and materials.

      • This machine combines precise ignition, smart features, and a streamlined interface to deliver smoother starts, easier operation, and optimized welding performance.

      • CORE welding machines offer two modes for stick (MMA/SMAW) welding:

        Standard  stick mode: This is used for general-purpose welding with stick electrodes. It’s suitable for most common welding tasks.

        Pulsed  stick mode: Designed for overhead or out-of-position welding. This mode helps maintain a stable weld pool and prevents molten metal from dripping. It ensures better control and consistency when welding in challenging positions.
