The operating concept for the PUK 5: simple, intuitive, user-friendly.
New look & design, New features, and New upgraded technology.
 • Extremely simple touchscreen operation
 • NEW: Now with slide function!
 • Select metal - select welding situation - weld!
 • Easily review the optimum setting ranges for the selected welding task
 • Pre-set programs for standard metals such as gold, silver and platinum, and for common welding situations
 • NEW: Setting of parameters for "Power," "Time," and menu navigation with a single rotary controller.
 • NEW: Setting of "Power" and "Time" also by a swiping action on the high-contrast display.
 • Help and assistance functions accessible at any time
 • NEW: Optimized "Settings" menu with scope on demand for enabling or disabling practical additional functions such as the expert menu with 15 different welding curves, the program memory for 20 proprietary programs or the fix-welding function.
 • The selection of basic functions such as lighting, welding sequence or choice of language is a quick and easy process.
 • NEW: The smoothing function accelerates the weld cycle, increasing the heat generated in the welding zone on workpieces. This can facilitate the welding process, e.g. on highly conductive metals and alloys such as silver or aluminum. The surfaces are easier to smooth and model because of the improvement in flow characteristics. At the same time, this function causes greater heating of the workpiece and should therefore also be used with caution.
 • NEW: The patent-pending system for welding process monitoring intervenes actively for you if excessive pressure is applied to the tip of the electrode during the welding process, and/or if the workpiece is guided in too rapidly. In this situation, the process is interrupted automatically and an optical signal in the eye protection system signals operator error. This can prevent a welding malfunction from occurring.
 • Welding with different levels of contact with the electrode distorts the selected parameters and makes it difficult to obtain consistently uniform welding results. It can cause the electrode get stuck to the workpiece, or can introduce undesirable amounts of tungsten to the surface of the workpiece. This new function improves the total performance of the welding process. It gives rise to more uniform results while also improving the electrode service life, resulting in a more constant quality in your welding results. At the same time, this function helps the newcomer to PUK to learn from Day One how to work properly with the PUK 5.
