Butters AMT launch MIG Synergic Auto
range at SED
Welding and cutting specialist Butters AMT range of MIG Synergic Auto machines launches with 'Auto' versions of its popular single-phase AMT 271 and three-phase AMT 360 machines.
These new machines have Butters AMT's traditional MIG machine bases with 'soft arc' technology (i.e copper-based transformers and chokes) but add innovative control electronics, a user-friendly touch-pad and a digital display to simplify machine operation; for both professional and semi-professional users alike In Auto mode, the user simply sets the type of material to be welded, the wire diameter, the type of gas to be used, and the desired output voltage (in accordance with the thickness of the material to be welded), and the machine automatically sets the wire feed speed

Butters AMT warranty on MIG welding machines
Butters AMT offers seven years' warranty on its single- and three-phase professional MIG welding machines.
Further, once the welding commences, the wire feed speed is then automatically regulated to maintain a constant arc length.
Butters AMT's Technical Director, Julian Knowles, comments: "The automatic regulation of the arc length means that operators with little experience can produce uniform and spatter-free quality welds on every job - which means little if any rework may be required".
"The machines also require little setting up, so productivity can remain high." The Auto machines 'assume' the work piece is level, but a trim dial allows for the adjustment of the (average) wire feed speed for when the work piece is positioned differently, such as angled, upright or overhead.
The AMT 271 Auto is ideally suited to light to medium industrial applications (including automotive), can weld up to 12mm and requires a single-phase 230V supply and a 25A fuse.
The AMT 360 Auto on the other hand is ideally suited to medium to heavy industrial applications, can weld up to 18mm and requires a three-phase 400V supply and three 20A fuses.
Both machines are mechanically protected to IP23 S and insulation class H.
These new MIG Synergic Auto machines are available immediately, and are priced at about only 10% greater than their non-Auto counterparts.
Knowles concludes: "Synergic machines used to cost a lot more than traditional MIGs but this is no longer the case, thanks to the use of lower cost - yet high-reliability - control electronics".
"This makes the AMT 271 Auto and the AMT 360 Auto extremely cost-effective machines, capable of producing consistent, quality welds." The AMT 271 Auto and AMT 360 Auto are soon to be joined by a number of other Auto versions of Butters AMT's popular single- and three-phase professional MIG welding machines.
