General
Principle The TIG power sources MW 2600 / 2600 CEL / 3000 (AC/DC) or TT 2600 / 2600 CEL /
3000 (DC), designed as primary switched welding systems, are a further development of
transistor controlled welding systems. The supply voltage is rectified and chopped by a
fast transistor switch with 80 kHz. An electronic controller adjusts the characteristics of
the power source to the selected welding process.
Another interesting feature is the automatic cap-shaping for AC welding with MagicWave
power sources. For optimum results, this function takes into account the diameter of the
tungsten electrode used.

Device concept The particular flexibility and the ease of adjustment to different tasks are typical of the
power sources. The reasons for these pleasing features are both the modular product
design and the options available for problem-free system extension.
They can adapt their power source to virtually any specific circumstance. For example,
welding current control is infinitely variable via the torch trigger. In addition, an extensive
range of remote controls is available for a wide variety of applications.
Field of applica-
tion
There are numerous commercial applications for the MagicWave and the TransTig. For
manual welding, but also for automation and robot tasks, they are the ideal power
sources. In terms of materials, they are suitable for unalloyed and low-alloyed steel as
well as for high-alloyed chrome/nickel steel.
These all-round properties are supported by an optimum ignition sequence.
For TIG AC welding, the MagicWave takes into account not only the electrode diameter,
but also the current electrode temperature, based on the previous welding time and
pause.
In addition, the MagicWave performs excellently in the field of welding aluminum, alu-
minum alloys and magnesium. You can optimally adjust the AC frequency to your
requirements within a very wide range.
