Besides the power source with a degaussing prior to welding function, EWM offers the Degauss 600 as a power source exclusively for degaussing (Figure 11) . Two options for degaussing are available to the user here: degaussing before welding as a work preparation step and the generation of an opposing magnetic field during the welding process. With the Degauss 600, the user is able to counter magnetism in nearly every field of application. The Degauss 600 is supplied with all the required auxiliary materials, such as: • 1 x 20m load cable • 2 x 5m load cables • Remote control for setting the opposing magnetic field with polarity reversing switches • 5m remote control connection cable The direct current function (10 to 250 A) for generating the opposing magnetic field in the Degauss 600 is activated using the remote control. We also recommend using a measuring device to determine the existing magnetic field. 6 Summary Arc deflection caused by magnetism is a known problem in joining technology. Due to its sporadic occurrence, it is necessary to provide welders with fast and reliable methods in day-to-day work. EWM makes this possible with the Degauss 600. Degaussing prior to welding as a work preparation step and generating opposing magnetic fields during the actual welding process stabilise the arc and thus ensure reliable welding processes without time-consuming finishing work in many different areas of application. The Pico 350 cel puls pws dgs enables degaussing prior to the actual welding process.

About EWM EWM AG is one of Germany’s largest and one of the most important worldwide manufacturers of arc welding technology. The family-run company from Mündersbach has been living its motto, “We are welding” for over 60 years, providing forward-looking and sustainable complete solutions for both industrial clients and craft businesses. The company, based in Germany’s Westerwald region, offers complete systems that cover everything from high- quality welding machines (and all associated components) to welding torches, welding consumables and accessories for manual and automated applications. The welding processes, some of which are patented, reduce the consumption of materials, energy and time during operation and produce up to 75 per cent fewer welding fume emissions.
