WELD LIGHT-GAGE SHEETS AT
MAXIMUM SPEED–WITH MINIMAL
HEAT INPUT AND VIRTUALLY
NO SPATTER
CMT (COLD METAL TRANSFER) has revolutionized welding
technology. Thanks to its PRECISE WIRE RETRACTION, the process
considerably increases the number of possible welding applications.
Wherever adhesive or solder was used before,
CMT welding can now be used instead.
The back and forth movement (reversing) of the welding wire–at up to 170 Hertz–produces an exceptionally stable arc. This results in a 33% reduction in heat input and a welding speed almost twice as fast as the conventional dip transfer arc.

THINKING
ECONOMICAL AND SUSTAINABLE
RESOURCE­CONSERVING
This precisely controlled process reduces spatter, and therefore rework, which lets employees work more eciently.
MATERIAL SAVINGS
CMT considerably reduces the consumption of wearing parts and the number of component rejects, which translates directly into greater savings potential.
*/ Under laboratory conditions.
ENERGY­SAVING
A stable, precisely controlled arc improves weld quality. This shortens the overall time necessary for welding tasks, resulting in lower energy consumption overall.

CMT
WELDING PROCESS
THE CMT PROCESS IS BASED ON THE MOST ADVANCED TYPE OF DROPLET DETACHMENT. MADE POSSIBLE BYREVERSIBLE WIRE ELECTRODE MOTION.
In a conventional dip transfer arc process, the wire is advanced continuously towards the workpiece. If a short circuit occurs, the current is increased, which breaks the short circuit so the arc can ignite again.
However, in the event of a short circuit while using the CMT process, the reverse motion of the wire electrode produces a more controlled droplet detachment and reignition. This reversing wire motion takes place in a frequency range of 50 to 170 Hz, depending on the filler metal, shielding gas and electrode diameter.
