The Truncator module was developed in order to avoid the 2 situations that really stress your Tungsten electrode, when TIG welding. Those situations are high amperage welding and AC welding e.g., aluminium. In both situations you can diminish the risk of melting off the tip by truncating your Tungsten electrode.
Our new Truncator is a separate module, designed and engineered for truncating of ground Tungsten electrodes for TIG welding. The new 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.
The size of the truncated tip can easily be adjusted to any desired diameter.
Special double module with two positions is available, if there is a need for two different electrode tips.
The Truncator also works with AutoGrind Digital mounted on the Ultima-TIG.
There are mainly two reasons to truncate the tip of the freshly ground electrode.
For mounting on older versions of Ultima- TIG/-S/-Cut (serial no starting with 2036 or lower) you need two extra holes on the front of the grinding module. A toolset with drill and thread tap or a new grinding console can be ordered with the following item numbers:
