Most of my new machine purchases have always been guided by what kind of resale value the product has, powcon. Originally Posted by powcon

Our timeline starts with the invention of the first inverter welder in Swedish inventors - Goran Hedberg and Curt Hansson. They founded a company called AB Svetsia in Goteborg,. Sweden, and began manufacturing the PowCon Development STU. Their funding required the. Thermal Dynamics in The welder was produced in Hanover,. New Hampshire as part of Thermal Dynamics' line, and was renamed.

Re: Powcon history The former Thermal Dynamics West Lebanon NH plant where all the plasma cutters were manufactured at one point is essentially closed has been for around 4 years except for a rather small engineering group. Even their reconditioned models are not cheap by any means, but you do indeed get what you pay for with one of them, as I've spoken to many ppl familiar with them in different types of industry, and guys like me doing stuff small time who are very happy with them. There's some threads about this. My Cutmaster 52 plasma was made there. As far as reps saying Miller didn't have any viable inverter technology on the market in the early, mid s, I would have to disagree with that notion. Of course, reps are gonna plug their machines and PowCon will always be the Godfather of all modern inverter technology. Couple that with an expensive retail priced investment, you're pretty well stuck with it unless you find another niche buyer looking for one, or you give it away. IMHO of course. Being I'm not heavy industrial user that is going to see ROI on a finished product, I would like to see something back on my investment if I decide to sell it. Just going by the front panel controls from the manuals I'd say that's a SS, but the model is shown on the front panel slightly obscured by the added on grill. Where it's made is irrelevant anymore.

People invented many welding methods and advanced equipment to make welding more comfortable for them. Powcon welders are such inventions that you can use in each form. Some welding machines by PowCon are remote-controlled, and some are torch heads; moreover, their inverters also vary.

Plasma cutters with their higher voltage and the need to control current more rapidly were better suited with newer FET field effect transistors and as the technology developed further with IGBT's insulated gate bipolar transistors.

Sure, there are limitations with machinery like that, but all told, they're a pretty good value for the entry level crowd who wants to purchase new, or doesn't have the room or power to run an older industrial machine. I have 2 x ss units both very little use. Plus, they are relatively unknown in the commercial mainstream market for welding machinery. I should have clarified that being the machine is brand new and was just unveiled at SEMA and Fabtech. Hypertherm hired many of those that were laid off So, if you buy one at retail cost, the only way you will see a solid ROI would be to keep it until Armageddon because if you wanna unload it to go a different direction down the road, it'll be an extremely hard sell. Some of these offerings are very good quality machines. My main concern lies with resale value. Messages 2, Location S. Really like the good duty cycle that they have.
