iPAK2v2

Medium Frequency DC Inverter Controls

iPAK2v2 is the next generation of our integrated timer/controller/inverter system for MF resistance welding. Like the original iPAK and iPAK2 the iPAK2v2 (comes with integrated EIP) control section is housed in a cassette-type casing, which simply mounts onto the inverter for ease of maintenance and continues to deliver millisecond precision, constant current operation and comprehensive monitoring which assure’ s your weld quality. The iPAK2v2 can be configured to suit your Resistance Spot, Projection, Seam, Crosswire, Hot staking and Heating applications and can be used with our range of energy efficient Inverters ranging from 100A to 6000A. To reduce capital equipment costs, the iPAK2v2 can be configured as Multi-welder (Cascade) control firing up-to 8 MF DC welding transformers in a flexible sequence.
