Re: Adding pulse functionality to a TIG welder

Very cool product! All my machines have built in pulse, but I have passed up good deals before simply because the unit didn't have the pulse feature. I like that this can be kept in the truck and used on customers equipment that doesn't have a pulser. What can it adapt to so far? Does it only work ...

Re: Adding pulse functionality to a TIG welder

Thanks for the compliments!

We are actually in the process of testing the TIG Perfect on several other machines using an adapter cable. So hopefully it works out and there will be a lot of other models available.

Re: Adding pulse functionality to a TIG welder

Just an observation, but that's a pretty long lag in response time... Five months? :shock: Steve S I realized I had already spoken to him over e-mail in the past anyways... figured I would clarify here in case anyone was wondering. I also realized I need to check that "Notify me when a reply i...

Re: Adding pulse functionality to a TIG welder

Jattus, I am beginning to learn the features and am liking them. One question. My screen goes black after 1.5-2 minutes of on time. The functions still work but no screen display. Is that normal? Jim Hi Jim, This is an intended feature. The screen fades to black (basically goes to sleep) but the de...

Re: Adding pulse functionality to a TIG welder

I was able to experiment with different higher speed frequencies this weekend. I made a simple video below showing 10Hz, 20Hz, 30Hz, and 40Hz. At this time anything over 40Hz or so is not really feasible with this box and most auxiliary inputs on welders. I'm happy with it considering most people us...

Re: Adding pulse functionality to a TIG welder

So I had another idea along with increasing the frequency... I was wondering if I could add a 2nd frequency setting on the display (e.g. "Hz 2") and this would basically add a second frequency only on the peaks of the generated wave. Here is an example illustrating this: http://www.jattus....

Re: Adding pulse functionality to a TIG welder

Yep you are correct TrackRanger. And Wobulate, this device works with the low power circuitry (which indirectly controls the high power circuit). The high power output in the TIG welder is converted using rectifiers/transistors/solid-state switches, and these are controlled by a low power micro cont...

Re: Adding pulse functionality to a TIG welder

Interesting upgrade. Is the clicking/pulse sound in video as loud in the shop as on the video? Haha no... we had the microphone too close to the welder and it was picking up some interference. Its actually not that loud. It sounds more similar to this as an example... (fast forward to 4:40) https:/...

Re: Adding pulse functionality to a TIG welder

Interesting project.I just picked up a 180 Deversion to learn tig with so your box is of interest. Will be looking for any and all info on this. Cool! How do you like it so far? I went ahead and added a youtube video we made so you can get a better idea of how it works. We only really demonstrated ...

Re: Adding pulse functionality to a TIG welder

How much? I'm not a serious buyer at the moment, but I am interested in knowing about these types of things, as I hope to one day be a serious buyer. Is this similar to the Lincoln pulse pendants? Also, is that foot pedal connected with an Ethernet cable? Hi Nathan, I had never heard of the pulse p...

Hey guys, I have been reading around on the forums for a while and finally decided it was time to start posting. I am hoping to get some feedback on a device my wife and I have been working on called "TIG Perfect", it adds pulsing functionality to a TIG welder. I'll hopefully post a topic ...

Adding pulse functionality to a TIG welder

Hey guys, I have been reading around on the forums for a while and finally decided it was time to make a post. (hopefully in the right section! haha) My wife and I are designing/building devices that add pulsing functionality to TIG welder machines (welders that don't come with pulse functionality, ...
