Hello to all. I was curious if it would be possible to put an auto-idle setup on my trusty old AC-225? The old girl runs and welds great and is awful handy to have around when the power goes out around here, its just a bit loud running full tilt and I would like to avoid having to idle it down by hand all the time. Thanks in advance, Rick
Reply:Man I have no idea, but the guys to ask are cruizer and weldersales.The difference between art and craft is the quality of the workmanship. I am an artist.
Reply:You can but the cost on doing so outways the cost of that machine, thus would not advise it.
Reply:Thanks for the replies guys, what I was think about was stripping the needed parts off of a junk welder and modifying them for my application....still barking up the wrong tree? Thanks, Rick

The trick will be to source cheap reliable components. With all the smarts around here, we ought to be able to do that.Maybe a 12v solenoid from some common automotive application, a current sensor, and a timer relay. I would think that a control that is far superior to the originals, could be built for less than a $100."The solenoid and relay are easy; a cheap reliable current sensor would be the heart of the idler retrofit. Any ideas? I would be very interested in a few "kits" myself.Good Luck |
