Compact and portable high performance welding equipment

    CORE Welding Equipment for MMA

    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 MMA 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 on CORE MMA 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 MMA can be used for MMA, MMA Pulse, TIG LIFT and TIG LIFT SPOT modes, offering flexibility for various welding tasks and materials.
          CORE TIG can be used for TIG DC HF, TIG DC Pulse, TIG SPOT and MMA welding. Arc Ignition with HF or Lift function offers ideal performance for precise TIG welding and repair work.

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

        • CORE MMA power sources 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.

        • Standard TIG DC: TIG DC HF welding with perfect arc ignition. Stable and smooth arc performance.

          Pulsed TIG DC: Advanced Pulsed TIG Arc Control provides operators with a stable arc ideal for thin gauge material, positional and out-of-position welding applications.
