The TIG weld seam now has a MIG-MAG twin
On thin and medium sheet (1–8 mm), weld appearance is often part of the finished product. Traditionally that meant TIG welding slow, and dependent on a small number of highly skilled hands. Metaltex has invested in a number of Lorch MicorMIG 350 power sources running the MicorTwin process. The U-I controlled pulse arc produces the even, uniformly stacked seam customers associate with TIG at up to twice the welding speed.
Proven across aluminium, stainless and steel
MicorTwin suits aluminium and CrNi (stainless) work in thin to medium wall thicknesses, and medium-walled steel frames, enclosures, tanks, furniture and architectural fabrications where the seam is visible in service.
What this means for our customers
- Consistent appearance. Even, uniform seams on 1–8 mm aluminium, stainless and steel — the finish that matters on visible welds.
- Faster throughput. Higher deposition speed without trading away appearance, which flows through to shorter lead times.
- Repeatability. The same result across operators, rather than depending on one specialist hand.
- Certified procedures. EN 1090-compliant welding supported by independently certified WPS documentation, aligned with the welding quality requirements of ISO 3834.
- Process control. NFC job cards lock in parameter sets and operator authorisation, so the same job welds the same way every time.
- Capacity released. Our TIG-qualified welders are freed for the genuinely complex work that only TIG can do.
- Power in reserve. Patented MicorBoost technology delivers voltage reserve for heavier steel work, in mixed gas or CO₂.
