Introduction

Thank you for buying our product.
In order to get the best performance out of the plant and ensure the maximum lifespan of its parts, the use and maintenance instructions
contained in this manual must be read and strictly complied with, as well as the safety instructions contained in the relevant folder.
If repairs to the plant are required, we recommend that our clients contact our service centre workshops, as they have the necessary
equipment and personnel that are specifically trained and constantly updated.
All our machines and equipment are constantly developed and so changes may be made in terms of their construction and features.

Description

MATRIX X220 AC/DC
Powerful, compact, and light weight, the MATRIX X220 AC/DC units represent the most innovative, high performance, and technically
advanced single-phase inverter generators for TIG welding to be found.
The PFC (Power Factor Correction) device fitted optimises absorption of energy from the mains, means that these high power gene-
rators can be connected to power supply systems with 16A fuses without any problem.
The user friendly digital control and advanced functions ensure complete stability of all welding parameters, guaranteeing high quality
TIG welding for all metals, aluminium, and its alloys, as well as MMA welding with any type of electrode.
The MATRIX X220 AC/DC units are the ideal solution for all professional welding applications and for maintenance work that calls for
power and portability.
MATRIX X300 AC/DC
Using the most modern IGBT based inverter technology, the threephase TIG generator with high frequency MATRIX X300 AC/DC igni-
tion, comes with an innovative digital control for all welding parameters.
Technologically cutting-edge, robust, easy to use with both direct and alternating current, fitted with high potential digital control, this ge-
nerator can be used for high quality TIG welding of all metals including aluminium and alloys. This means that the machine is particu-
larly suitable for specific uses in industry and the maintenance sector.
It also guarantees excellent performance for MMA welding, even when using particularly difficult cellulosic and basic electrodes.

Features

The characteristics found in all welding machines in the MATRIX X220 - X300 AC/DC range are:
• Innovative and compact design.
• Compact size and light weight for easy transportation.
• Metallic main structure with shock-proof plastic front panel.
• Protective visor on the control panel.
• Robust handle integrated into the chassis.
• Digital control, regulation and monitoring of all welding parameters.
• TFT colour display for pre-setting welding parameters.
• Digital ammeters and voltmeters are standard fittings, with pre-setting of welding current and saving of the latest value (Holdfunction).
• coldTACK welding function in TIG HF DC. Innovative device to achieve precise and safe spot with a minimal thermal input. This fun-
ction makes it possible to do cold tack welds in rapid sequence, in order to further amplify the benefits of a single tack. "Perfect-Point"
type of trigger, allows to obtain the most precise spot positioning.
• New welding mode in TIG RCT "RUNNING COLD TACK" that makes it possible to form very cold welding beads. This process allows
you to benefit from all the advantages of the "coldTACK" welding mode, repeating a single tack in continuous mode, to achieve a per-
fect, cold welding bead. When "TIG RCT" is used, the welding bead is much colder than can be achieved using "Pulse TIG", which
makes it the ideal solution for welding thin materials with very low heat transfer.
• Feature that makes it possible to save and call up personalised welding programs.
• It is possible to interface with various remote control systems for automation and robotics, including:
1) Analogue "RoboMAT 1" interface.
2) Analogue interface for "simple" automation / robotics.
3) Possibility of interfacing with all the most common field buses (Profinet, EthernetIP, EtherCAT, etc.).
• Self-diagnosis device.
• Overheating thermostatic protection.
• Automatic compensation for mains voltage fluctuations within ±20%.
• Safety barrier against excess voltage from mains.
• Electromagnetic disturbance is reduced due to high frequency being involved only during the arc ignition phase.
• "Energy Saving" function to operate the power source cooling fan andthe torch water cooling only when necessary.
• Low absorbed current consumption.
• This generator also conforms to all the standards and directives in force in the European Community.
• TIG
- Excellent TIG welding characteristics.
- High frequency arc striking of TIG welding, precise and efficient even from long distance.
- Using special TIG torches allows remote adjustment of welding current directly from the torch.
- The diameter of the electrode used is set to allow greater control of the ignition and dynamics of the arc.
- Standard built-in pulsation (from 0,5 to 2000 Hz) with provision for entering the SYN Pulse function.
- Square, mixed, sinusoidal, or triangular wave shape selector.
- Welding frequency balancing / regulation.
