TECNA 3177 Scissor-Type Weld Gun — 56 kVA MFDC (Inverter) Three-Phase, Single-Stage Cylinder

TECNA 3177 MFDC (inverter) scissor-type suspended weld gun — 56 kVA, air-operated, three-phase, single-stage cylinder. Maximum welding current of 25,000 amps.

Description

The TECNA 3177 is a 56 kVA MFDC (inverter) scissor-type (X-type) suspended weld gun with air-operated actuation and a single-stage cylinder, fed from a three-phase supply. Medium-frequency DC delivers stable, low-distortion welds with reduced power draw. It produces a maximum welding current of 25,000 amps, with electrode force of 1,011 lbs (450 daN) @ 8 bar; 764 lbs (340 daN) @ 6 bar on the shortest arm.

Features

  • 56 kVA MFDC inverter (max welding power 200 kVA) with water-cooled secondary.
  • Medium-frequency DC output for consistent welds on coated and dissimilar materials with lower mains demand.
  • Single-Stage pneumatic cylinder; electrode force 1,011 lbs (450 daN) @ 8 bar; 764 lbs (340 daN) @ 6 bar (min arm) / 292 lbs (130 daN) @ 8 bar; 213 lbs (95 daN) @ 6 bar (max arm).
  • Gyro suspension on sealed bearings with rotation lock for accurate maneuverability with a TECNA balancer.
  • Long 7.48–31.50 in. (190–800 mm) arm range; adjustable working stroke plus temporary extra (retraction) stroke.
  • Fully water-cooled copper secondary; lube-free chromium-plated cylinder and shaft; cooling-circuit valves for easy electrode changes.
  • Recommended balancer: TECNA 9412 (short arms) / 9412 (long arms).

Installation Requirements

  • US stock supply: 480 V / 60 Hz three-phase (400 V / 50 Hz on request).
  • Delayed fuses 100 A; cable section 0.04 in² (25 mm²) at L=30 m.
  • Compressed air: 116 psi (8 bar). Water cooling: 127 gal/h (480 l/h).
  • Net weight 122 lbs (55.5 kg) with cables, hoses, and suspension, without arms.
