Magnetic Arc Control: Control Units
MA-40 ARC PATTERN CONTROL
This unit adds a new dimension to magnetic arc control: pattern control. With the MA-40, the welding arc can be shaped, widened or narrowed as required. The rapid, controlled motion of the arc stirs the molten puddle for a noticeable reduction in porosity and improvement of the grain structure in the weld.
The MA-40 Control Unit provides two-axis magnetic arc control with independent amplitude and position control for each axis. A stabilize mode with amplitude and position control adjustments is also available for one-axis oscillation.
MA-20 ARC CONTROL
Our most popular controller, the MA-20 features a PWM power supply and adjustable oscilation speeds from 7 per minute to 30 per second. Independently controlled left and right dwell settings create a weave effect, allowing maximum flexibility when working with an uneven work piece. A Stabilize/Oscillate switch allows you to disable the speed and dwell controls while the position and amplitude controls remain operative. Final Taper gradually reduces magnetic field during welding down-slope.

MA-10 ARC STABILIZER
The MA-10 is strictly for arc stabilizing. It is used to compensate for magnetic arc blow and it is used to keep the arc coned in and stable in the weld zone.
The MA-10 has a high and low range with adjustable gauss strength in each range. Polarity is selected with a front panel switch.
AP Automation Magnetic Arc Control Systems are fully compatible with all Cyclomatic?„¢ equipment.
