Upgrade from UNISOUD to PULSAR
End of life will be 06.2025
For machine types with rotary frequency converters (no UNISOUD technology), please refer to the conversion Static Frequency Converter PULSAR
Why upgrade?
Since its development by Soudronic in 1992, the pioneering achievement of the static UNISOUD welding current converter has been in reliable operation in more than 1,500 welders. Due to increasing difficulties in sourcing the electronic components, Soudronic will phase out the UNISOUD converter by June 2025.
With PULSAR, a technologically advanced product is available as suitable successor to UNISOUD. PULSAR incorporates state-of-the-art technology, and is a direct replacement.
Advantages of the new PULSAR
- Interchangeability of components with welding machines of the latest generation
- Reduced spare parts inventory
- Less risk of wire break
- Digital communication (with UNICONTROL)
- Easier welding current range setting (with UNICONTROL)
- Improved contamination detection when using Pulsar with SWM-3 monitor, thus reducing roller head wear
- Operation and maintenance menu available in more than 20 languages
- Integrated help system (with UNICONTROL)
- Upgrade/installation takes approximately one working day
Phase III: What does this mean for you and your UNISOUD?
- Any final orders for UNISOUD must be placed within the next 12 months
- Prices can no longer be guaranteed
- Repairs will still be executed
- We strongly recommend allocating budgets for an upgrade to PULSAR to benefit from all advantages
- UNISOUD will be phased out, end of life will be 06.2025
Options available
- SWM-3 Monitor
- Latest version of UNICONTROL (hardware and software) and drive systemsmenu available in more than 20 languages
- Remote Access package (with UNICONTROL)
- Industry 4.0 Readiness (with UNICONTROL)
