About The Active Wire Process (AWP)
Active wire is an advanced short arc welding process
combining the robot motion path, welder waveform
and servo wire feed control simultaneously reversing
the wire at the short circuit to control the weld
deposition precisely.
Features
Spatter control
Spatter is virtually eliminated in all phases of the weld using mixed argon 90/10 or 100 percent CO2 gas.
Fast and clean arc striking
At the moment the wire touches the base the wire is reversed, reducing arc strike spatter by up to 90 percent.
Flexibility
Large variations in torch angle are possible allowing push-pull in and out of corners without increasing spatter.
Appearance
The precise nature of the process allows many customers an alternative to TIG welding.
Wide range of materials
Mild steels, stainless steels and aluminum from thin-to-medium gauge benefit from AWP.
