1000 AC/DC Power Source for Submerged Arc Welding
The Aristo 1000 AC/DC power source from ESAB Welding and Cutting Products is ideal for automated welding in heavy-duty industrial environments such as welding wind tower structures, nuclear components, beams, bridge components, trailer beams, excavator components, and general fabrication applications.

This machine is perfect for automated welding. A DC arc is normally used for the root pass to achieve full penetration. With the Aristo 1000 AC/DC’s “on the fly” switching function, the operator can switch over to an AC arc without stopping the process when welding on round objects. This minimizes downtime and the risk of weld defects as the stop and re-start sequence is completely eliminated. The machine is designed to be used in installations where long welding cables are necessary, since AC welding is more demanding and sensitive to voltage drops.
One of the most common reasons for a production stop in a welding installation is damaged cables or broken connectors. The Aristo 1000 AC/DC has no connectors or cables at any exposed positions. All cables are connected behind a door in the front of the machine, making them easily accessible for service while being well protected from damage. The cooling fan only runs during welding, which results in less energy required and consumed, lower noise levels, and less dust inside the cooling channel.
COLUMN AND BOOM (CAB) SYSTEM
For the ultimate automated sub arc welding package, combine the Aristo 1000 AC/DC inverter with the Column and Boom (CaB) system and Spoolarc 81 wire. The CaB offers short set-up times and fast, exact work piece positioning. Travel speeds are pre-programmable and the column is capable of 180-degree rotation. Any ESAB A2 or A6 welding head can be mounted to the boom with a swiveling mounting bracket, allowing the welding head to perform external and internal longitudinal and circumferential welding in various weld joints and work pieces.
The CaB is available with different types of foundation – choose from stationary or rail-traveling carriages.
SPOOLARC 81 WIRE
Spoolarc 81 is a medium manganese and silicon wire with nominal rust and mill scale tolerance. This wire is ideal for general purpose welding on low and medium carbon steels. When paired with OK Flux, Spoolarc 81 yields excellent results in demanding environments.
Spoolarc 81 used in conjunction with the CaB system and the brand-new Aristo 1000 AC/DC power source yields superior results. www.esabna.com
