Sunstone Engineering Orion 100c Pulse-Arc/Micro-TIG Welder

Features Specifications In The Box How to Use Downloads Videos The Precision Micro-Welder Technology You Need! The Orion 100c is the reliable welding tool that every metalsmith should have. Save time doing simple and complicated work such as seam joints, filling porosity, adding metal, attaching different size pieces, or any other application you may encounter. Increase efficiency with this easy to use system! The Orion 100c provides power up to 100 joules of pulse-arc weld energy. This micro-welder also allows for low power needs — yielding as little as 3 joules of energy. The 100c power is adjustable in 0.5-joule increments. Weld large workpieces, or near precious components with this versatile, compact, and easy-to-use system. How Does it Work? Electrical Energy – Plasma Discharge Pulse Arc welding uses electrical energy to create a plasma discharge. The high-temperature plasma, in turn, melts metal in a small spot. This process takes place in milliseconds. The process is clean and very controllable – perfect for intricate and minute welding applications on precious and non-precious metals!. Filler metal can also be added to build up joints and create strong and reliable weld “beads”, or weld seams. Two in One Combo The Orion is a pulse-arc welder and a capacitive discharge resistance welder in one. This combination of abilities allows for infinite creative possibilities. In its Tack Mode, the Orion can be used to temporarily position parts before welding or soldering. In its Pulse Arc Mode, the Orion can be used to perform permanent welds, add metal, and do a variety of other amazing and time-saving applications. Why Buy an Orion 100c? Weld Ignition Options This technology prolongs the life of the electrode by lifting the electrode prior to releasing the weld. This safeguards the electrode from misfires and sticking to the workpiece. In turn, you spend more time welding and less time sharpening an electrode. The Basic Screen Whether you are an expert at pulse-arc welding or doing it for the first time, we have developed a simple and intuitive, step by step on screen system, for you to follow when welding. Precision and Power Select power in 0.5 Ws increments up to 100 Ws —That’s over 100 available power settings! Weld spot sizes range from microns all the way up to 2.5mm. Whatever it is you weld, Orion has the power to get the job done. Highest Quality Standards When you purchase an Orion 100c, take confidence in knowing that it was designed, produced, and assembled to the highest quality standards in the industry—in other words, it’s the best you can buy. Full Touch Screen The Orion touch screen gives you complete control of your welder with an easy to use interface. No knobs or dials, just one touch access to everything you need. This makes the 100c intuitive to use and easily upgradeable for future features as they are released in free software updates via USB.

Every Orion System includes the following items: Power Cord (International Converter Included) Alligator Clips (2) Stylus Hand Piece (Pre-Installed with 1.0mm Collett) Jump Ring Pliers (1) Tungsten Electrodes (5 – 1mm & 5 – 0.5mm) Shuttered Microscope (Mounted on Articulating Arm) Argon Tubing (1/4″ OD Clear Argon Tubing) Microscope Cover Microscope Eye Covers Hex Wrench Set (Every Hex wrench used on the Orion included) 0.5mm Collett (For use with 0.5mm Tungsten Electrodes) Foot Pedal (Used to precisely trigger welds) Fiberglass Brush (Used to clean blackness from weld area) Diamond Disc (For Use with any Rotary Tool to Sharpen Electrodes and Clean them) HOW TO TRIGGER THE ORION SIMPLE TRIGGER OPTIONS THAT ARE EASY, QUICK, AND PRECISE In Pulse Arc welding the Arc Gap is vitally important in both a good weld, and a constant weld. The Orion Sylus Hand piece has a bulit in retract feature that will produce the perfect weld gap everytime. This allows for a perfect, consistant weld gap everytime you weld. Touch Detect Every Orion Welding System uses “Touch Detect” weld activation. This is the recommended trigger operation for pulse arc mode because it allows you quick, accurate, and simple weld triggers, However in Tack mode foot pedal is best. “Touch Detect” is used by simply connecting the ground and touching the electrode to your workpiece, and let the machine do the rest. Touch Detect allows you to work without having to constantly search for a foot pedal. All of the parts needed are easily in sight and within reach. Touch detect also allows you to trigger welds with greater precision, as you touch exactly where you want the weld to be. There is no missing & hitting your fingers or out of focus welds, just perfect weld each time you touch the piece. Foot Pedal Most of the Orion Welding systems(Excluding mPulse) include the “Foot Pedal” trigger system. This includes the foot switch that will allow you to trigger the welds only when the foot pedal is pressed. The foot pedal is recommended when using the Tack function. This is great for when you need extreme precision. You simply connect the foot switch into the unit, select “Foot Pedal” on the main screen. You bring the electrode into
