Issues
Robustness
Sheet metal construction has been adopted to enhance the robustness. Effective when moving the unit within the factory or to other sites.
Strengths and Features
Best-selling thyristor-controlled machines
These products achieve arcs that can be gently applied to base metal. Equipped with a function to centrally control welding conditions, it is possible to easily set them by adjusting the current and leaving the voltage setting to the power source. Even first-time users can easily set conditions.
The KR2 series is a set product consisting of a wire feeder, welding torch, and gas regulator.
Equipped with an energy saving circuit for cutting wasteful power consumption
The input power supply is automatically cut off approximately seven minutes after switching the torch off, thereby cutting off standby power. This also has the effect of reducing dust intake into the welding machine by stopping the cooling fan.
Dustproof and waterproof structure suitable for use in various operating environments
Features a safety structure that is rated IP12 under the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. Furthermore, a perforated structure is adopted to prevent small animals from entering the machine, making it safe during storage.
Enhanced safety circuits
Equipped with a secondary short-circuit current limiting function and thyristor failure detection circuit.
Improved ease of maintenance
The gas valve fuse and 50/60 Hz selector switch are located on the front panel. Users can check the status of the main unit at a glance.
