Solution: Super Active wire Method for Beautiful and Fast Welding
What is the Super Active Wire Feed Process?
High-precision feed control where the welding wire is fed continuously with a back and forth motion. Spatter reduction by stable short-arc cycle.
Result : The Super Active Welding Method has more than Doubled the Welding speed, improves weld appearance and reduces spatter.
