Truncator - Precise truncating of ground Tungsten electrode tips
Separate module designed for Ultima-TIG, Ultima-TIG-S and Ultima-TIG-Cut
Common Characteristics
Truncator module
Our Truncator is a separate module, designed and engineered for truncating of ground Tungsten electrodes for TIG welding. The Truncator module can be mounted on our well-known Ultima-TIG and Ultima-TIG-Cut grinders. Besides we offer a special version for Ultima-TIG-S.
Easy to use
1. Grind an electrode tip on your Ultima-TIG.
2. Loosen the electrode from the electrode holder and secure it in the adjustment for the Truncator
3. Insert the electrode holder in the Truncator.
4. With the grinder switched on, press the electrode holder in to truncate the electrode tip.
5. Switch off the grinder and remove the electrode from the holder.
For better welding results
There are mainly two reasons to truncate the tip of the freshly ground electrode.
1) In high-current applications, the truncated geometry eliminates the risk of melting off the tip into the weld pool, causing contamination.
2) In AC applications, the truncated geometry reduces the risk of obtaining an excessive ball at the tip. Knowing that an excessive ball causes an unstable arc and might fall and contaminate the weld.
The Truncator module includes
• Truncator module
• Grinding disc for truncating
• Grinder mounting screws (for mounting on the grinder)
Main features of new truncator module
• Precise truncating of Tungsten electrodes
• Various positions on the grinding disc
• Eliminates the risk of melting off the tip into the weld, causing contamination
• Ideal for AC welding where it reduces the risk of obtaining an excessive ball at the tip
