ARC LENGTH SYSTEM ALS2000 (AVC)
Industrial quality British made automatic arc length control system for DC or AC TIG welding or Plasma welding
Ideal for use with a column & boom, positioners, rotators etc
The ALS2000 controller has the following functions & features;
The welding torch can be positioned by the operator with the inch up & down buttons on the control box or on a remote control.
The arc voltage can be preset before welding by the front panel knob or on a remote control & the voltage displays on the digital readout.
A start delay timer is fitted which automatically senses when welding current is flowing & takes over control of the arc length, this time can be set between 0 & 10
seconds.
There are sensitivity & actuator speed control knobs which control how fast the actuator corrects any changes in the arc length.
An auto on light shows when the control is functioning i.e. when welding current is flowing & the start delay time has elapsed.
The ALS2000 can also be switched to manual operation allowing the operator to have full control of the welding arc length by using the up & down inch switch on a
remote or on the front panel.
The control box is suitable for mounting or can be stood on top of other equipment.

The SAT1000 comprises the tractor unit onto which is mounted the cross beam which supports the wire reel holder, the control box and the
welding head. The welding head is 4 roll drive for reliable feeding of the welding wire & can feed all sizes from 1.6mm up to 6.0mm wire, the
welding head can be moved in all directions to allow for many different welding positions, & can be angled from 0 - +/-45 degrees. Adjustable
slides are fitted for height & lateral adjustment.
The SAT1000 control box can be fitted with the following functions: start & stop of the welding arc, Tractor speed control, Wire speed control,
Wire inch up and down. Other functions can be fitted upon request.
The tractor is fitted with a clutch to manually engage or disengage drive.
Many other variations of this SAT1000 are available on request & other functions can be added as required.
