Easy to use

FILCORD installations have characteristics which make them easy to use.

Using digital control of the wire speed, the machine always supplies the

correct quantity of wire at the appropriate speed. Furthermore, the priming

system is extremely powerful thanks to the “soft start” and “burn back”

systems. The digital parameter display lets you know immediately and

permanently whether you are welding under the best conditions.

Welding performance

Units in the FILCORD range have been developed

to bring maximum performance in your applications.

You will obtain an extremely stable arc thanks

to the self-regulation of the wire feed speed, the 4-rollers

feeding system and voltage regulation.

The parameters can be very easily adjusted directly on the

front panel of the generator.

Legend:

Five reasons to choose an installation from the FILCORD range: FILCORD is a new

generation of MIG/MAG welding installations for welding professionals. The products from

the FILCORD range will give you amazing welding performance at a reasonable price. All

the experience of Air Liquide Welding is available to you in these installations so you can

be sure of having made the right choice.

A good investment

FILCORD is the best investment you could make. FILCORD

installations enable you to improve your productivity

at a price which suits you. In addition, the excellent

reliability of these machines enables you to work without

worrying about breakdowns.

The result is simple with FILCORD,

Safety

Welder safety is a priority for Air Liquide Welding and

we make no compromises in this regard. FILCORD

installations allow you to work under the safest conditions.

Our “security requirement” is initially expressed by compliance

with the strictest European standards and the low open-circuit

voltage of FILCORD generators.

The choice is yours

We have built a range of products to satisfy all

possible situations. Our large range of single-phase or three-phase

models, portable, with integral or separate wire feeder, enable you to choose

the product best suited to your work setup. A large choice of additional options are also available

to meet your requirements as closely as possible.

activates the arc, releasing it activates the end of the cycle.

•4T: pressing the trigger starts thecycle, the trigger can be released. Pressing it again stopsthe cycle.

•Spot weld: supplies a welding current for a given time.

Torch connectorStep time•Used to set the spot welding

time.Priming speed•Sets the wire run-up speed

which improves arc striking.Anti-sticking•Adjusts the length of the “burnt”

wire at the end of welding. Thisfunction avoids the wire stickingto the workpiece.

Wire speed potentiometer•Allow continuous adjustment

of the wire feed speed.Wire test•Checks the wire feed

mechanism is working properly.Test gas •Used to check the gas flow.Switch•Switch on and pre-adjustment

of the welding voltage.Voltage selector switch•Allows the voltage to the

terminals of the welding circuit to be finely adjusted.
