Miller Electric Mfg. Co. (Appleton, WI) is introducing its Blue Lightning technology for the Dynasty 200 AC/DC TIG/Stick and Maxstar 200 DC TIG/Stick power sources. The technology provides consistent arc starts over the entire output range, from 1A (micro-thin applications) to 200A applications. Preset optimal parameters based on tungsten diameters eliminate operator guesswork.

Also, the Dynasty 200 now features advanced AC waveforms to optimize arc characteristics for various applications and operator preferences. Depending on the waveform selected — advanced squarewave, soft squarewave, sine wave or triangular wave — users tailor the arc for such characteristics as a hard, driving arc; a smooth, soft arc with good puddle control and wetting action; or a punch of peak amperage with minimized overall heat input to reduce distortion.
