1 Smootharc i-series Range Introducing the Smootharc Elite i-series range of MIG machines. A range of robust, inverter-based power sources for MIG/MAG standard, MMA and TIG (Liftarc) welding plus arc air gouging.

2 rootarc With easy weld modelling capabilities for trouble-free gap-bridging and positional welding. forcearc Heat-reduced, directionally stable, powerful arcs with deep fusion penetration for the upper power range. Unalloyed and low-alloy steels and high-tensile finegrained steels. SuperPuls The EWM superpuls function makes it possible to switch manually or automatically during welding between multiple processes. 3 year conditional warranty Basic inverter range MIG/MAG machines with stepless control of voltage and wire feed speed. Ideal for medium to heavy duty applications. Highlights Multi-functional power source The robust, infinitely adjustable power source for MIG/MAG standard, MMA and TIG (Liftarc) welding plus arc air gouging. Simple operating concepts, Basic or Synergic Basic: standard setting via wire speed and voltage on the welding machine or wire feed or Synergic: simple setting only via wire speed. Material, wire and gas type are set via JOB list on the welding machine, the wire feed on the welding machine or wire feed unit. forcearc highly productive, impressive quality (Synergic version only) Up to 50% lower production costs; a masterpiece of innovative MIG/MAG process engineering. Powerful forced arc, deep fusion penetration and virtually spatter-free weld seams of the highest quality. Easy to use The operating point is infinitely adjustable via the panel control. This can also be adjusted at the workplace by remote control or torch controls (optional). Consistent welding results Our inverter technology ensures consistent results regardless of the intermediate hose package lengths, mains cable lengths or mains voltage fluctuations. For information on torches please refer to the BOC MIG/TIG torch range brochures.

5 Innovating welding processes BOC delivers innovative welding processes from EWM through the range of Smootharc i-series machines. Volltage [V] pulse arc coldarc pipesolution superpuls forcearc rootarc Current [A] BOC and, German company, EWM Hightec Welding are partners that have worked together to offer a quality, flexible range of advanced machines that provide ideal solutions for even the toughest requirements. BOC is a leader in the supply of industrial gases for just about every industry including welding. Our Welding Process Specialists have been offering technical advice to welding customers for many years. As leaders in technology EWM has, for decades, been involved in research and development to help make welding even easier and cost-effective for customers. Their electro-technical skills have assisted in developing new and innovative welding processes such as coldarc, forcearc, rootarc, pipe solution and more. This technology is converted into the latest inverter and microprocessor machines from EWM. coldarc Heat-reduced, low-spatter short arc for high dimensional stability welding and brazing of thin metal sheets and root welding with excellent gap-bridging capabilities. forcearc Heat-reduced, directionally stable, powerful arc with deep fusion penetration for the upper power range. pipesolution Powerful short arc for rapid safe welding, with and without gaps, in all positions. impuls Controlled, short circuit-free pulse arc for all positions, preferred for the transitional arc area. rootarc Short arc with easy weld modelling capabilities for trouble-free gapbridging and positional welding. superpuls The combination of EWM welding processes offers a multitude of possibilities.

6 Process highlights From short arc with easy weld modelling capabilities or heat-reduced, directionally stable, powerful arcs with deep fusion penetration. rootarc The new short arc With easy weld modelling capabilities for trouble-free gap-bridging and positional welding. Reduced spatter compared with the standard short arc Good root formation and secure flank capture Excellent heat-reduced welding in vertical-up position due to superpuls process switching Vertical-up seams with no weaving Unalloyed and low-alloy steels Manual and automated applications Secure standard short arc welding Lower spatter compared with a standard short arc Good root formation and secure flank capture, also for vertical-up/ vertical-down welding In combination with pulse arc, outstanding welding in vertical-up positions due to superpuls processing switching Vertical-up welding without weaving Unalloyed and low-alloy steels Manual and automated applications forcearc (Patented) Cost-effective welding process Heat-reduced, directionally stable, powerful arc with deep fusion penetration for the upper power range. Smaller seam preparation angle due to deep fusion penetration and directionally stable arc Fewer passes Less distortion due to heat-reduced, concentration arc Excellent root and flank capture Perfect welding woven with very long stick outs Reduced undercut Virtually spatter free Particularly beneficial eg for fillet welds, dynamically loaded components eg for load bearing parts for bridges, wagon and steel construction Unalloyed, low-alloy and high-alloy steels and high-tensile fine grained steels Manual and automated applications Smaller seam preparation angle, fewer passes High savings potential Minimised welding seam preparation Lower number of passes Less filler material and shielding gas consumption Shorter welding time Hot pass for submerged arc welding support Particularly advantageous eg for very large panel thicknesses
