What is Hot Start, Arc Force & Anti-Stick?

What is Hot Start ? Hot Start is a special feature for MMA (stick-electrode) welding where the machine delivers a peak of current when striking the arc. This is important as it significantly increases the ease of starting electrodes, especially in difficult conditions such as damp electrodes, imperfect job surface, or when using 'difficult to run' electrodes, etc. What is Arc Force ? Arc Force, sometimes called 'Dig' or 'Arc Control', is a similar feature to Hot Start, except Arc Force operates

It reports 50 production lines, in-stock service capability, 100% finished-product inspection, 10 quality inspectors, and lead times within 15 workdays in both peak and off-season. Customization is supported from samples, designs, and full or minor requirements. The supplier states that it provides OEM services for popular brands and exports to Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and other regions. Its quality system includes documented inspection instructions, corrective and preventive action procedures, complaint-handling procedures, and quality assurance. However, there is no valid manufacturing-capacity contract with related subcontractors, no outsourcing SOP, no continuous batch quantity reconciliation, no SDK, no overseas agents or branches, and no overseas warehouse or showroom. Financial information is limited to year...

Supplier typeThe supplier is a manufacturer and seller of metal cutting machines, welding equipment, mechanical and electrical equipment, and accessories. Its stated scope also includes goods and technology import and export, indicating a manufacturing-oriented supplier with trading capability.

After-Sales capabilityThe company states that it has a comprehensive domestic pre-sale, sales, and after-sales service system, and it has documented procedures and records for customer complaints and corrective and preventive actions. However, it has no overseas agents or branches, no overseas warehouse, and no overseas showroom, limiting demonstrated overseas service infrastructure.
