Thermal Dynamics WC-100B Plasma Welder

(Below are the current factory specs for this Welding System)

PLASMA ARC WELDING
Plasma Welding Modular Systems
300 Amp
Automatic / Manual Operation, Pilot Arc
Usable with any of the Thermal Dynamics® line of
plasma welding torches, the WC 100B features
reliable arc starting by means of a pilot arc. It offers
advantages in low-current welding operations, and in
repetitive, high-duty-cycle, automatic applications.
The pilot arc can be used in either the interrupted or
continuous mode. The latter provides greater arc
stability along with instant arc starting at low currents
or in high-duty-cycle, fast cycling welding.
Among other WC 100B features are: LED
amperage/voltage display; large, readable plasma
and shield gas flowmeters; internal torch leads
connections for increased safety; hi/low pilot current
switch to provide the best arc starting characteristics
at various main arc current levels; plug-in enclosed
relays; and auxiliary control receptacle for automatic
or manual operation.

WC 100B WELDING CONSOLE
Reliable, easy-to-operate Thermal Arc® Plasma Welding Systems boost profits and
productivity by helping you achieve consistently high quality repeatable welds – manually
or automatically. Whatever your application needs, the broad, versatile line of Thermal
Arc® consoles, torches, power supplies and accessories provide the right tools for the job.
All have been carefully designed to work together in producing high quality welds in most
metals such as stainless steels, high-nickel alloys, high-strength alloys, carbon steels,
copper and copper/nickel alloys.

Thermal Arc WC-1 Controller
The Thermal Arc WC-1, Controller allows a compact
packaged micro-processor system to be added onto a
Thermal Arc Ultima-150 ™ or WC-100B Component
plasma welding package to provide accurate, and
repeatable parameter control over the entire welding
system. The Controller provides a full-featured current
Pulser to aid in controlling warpage, penetration and the
weld puddle. The Sloper function is designed to permit
the development of a complete sequence of operation
for a specific welding job. Two programmable outputs
are featured, one is used to control the Plasma power
source and the second, controls a Cold Wire Feed Motor
Drive Control. The Controller provides 32 user selectable
weld schedules.
WF-100 Cold Wire Capstan Feeder
The Thermal Arc WF-100 Cold Wire Capstan Feeder is
a compact, lightweight, precision wire feeder for
robotic or automation fixture applications. The
Capstan’s small size and lightweight (less than 6 lbs.)
allows the wire feeder to be placed directly on the
automated fixture or robot wrist. The Capstan also
provides an increase in wire drive contact area by
wrapping the wire around the wire drive wheel.
WC-1 and WF-100
For All Thermal Arc Torches to 300 Amps
High efficiency and completely non-ferrous internal
construction (including a reusable metal filter) make
the HE 100A a useful, dependable companion for any
Thermal Arc® plasma welding system to 300 Amps.
A positive displacement, rotary vane pump delivers a
maximum of 2.3 gpm (8.7 lpm) at 100 psi (.91 lpm
at 7 kg/cm2). The pressure is adjustable. Maximum
rating is 20,000 BTU/hr (5040 K/Cal/hr) [based on
100° F (38.8° C) difference between ambient air and
high coolant temperature and 40° F (4° C) difference
between high and low coolant temperature].
Coolant Capacity: 1 3/4 gal. (6.6 L)
