How Does it Work?
Electrical Energy – Plasma Discharge
Micro TIG/Pulse Arc welding uses electrical energy to create a plasma discharge. The high-temperature plasma, in turn, melts metal in a small spot. This process takes place in milliseconds. The process is clean and very controllable – perfect for intricate and minute welding applications on precious and non-precious metals!. Filler metal can also be added to build up joints and create strong and reliable weld “beads”, or weld seams.
Two in One Combo
The Orion is a Micro TIG (also known as Pulse-arc) welder and a capacitive discharge resistance welder in one. This combination of abilities allows for infinite creative possibilities. In its "Arc Mode" (micro TIG/pulse-arc welding), the can be used to perform permanent welds, add metal, and do a variety of other amazing and time-saving applications. In its "Tack Mode" (capacitive discharge resistance welding), the can be used to temporarily position parts before welding or soldering.
The Basic Principle of the Orion Welding System is very simple.
1.) Attach The Grounding Clip
2.) Use the Specialized Microscope that is focused on the Welding Electrode Tip.
3.) Simply Touch the workpiece to the electrode and a weld is triggered.
4.) A Perfect Weld Every Time!

The Case for Copper
One of the biggest challenges when welding EV batteries is finding a welder capable of welding highly conductive metals such as copper and aluminum. Inside a lithium-ion battery are various copper and/or aluminum components that carry the electrical current (such as buss bars). These components are commonly joined to either similar or dissimilar materials to facilitate the electric current. If the joint is not made properly, there is a potential for voltage drops due to the resistance between the two pieces. The Omega PA250i welder is capable of overcoming some of these challenges, thus opening new doors in the world of EV battery welding, specifically by being able to weld copper tabs to battery cans.

Overview and Applications
The Omega PA250i Copper Tab Battery Welder is capable of welding highly conductive metals such as copper and aluminum. It also comes in a CNC version that is capable of performing all the same tasks with the assistance of a CNC table.
This system brags an all new design and performance. This latest update takes all of the great features from our previous model and adds to it a new motorized weld head adding greater control, precision, and uniformity to every weld. Manufacturers can produce lighter, more compact battery packs without compromising power or capacity.
Features and Benefits of the Sunstone Omega PA250i Copper Battery Tab Welder:
Solderless Connections – The metals are fused together at the weld spot for a continuous connection and no voltage drops.
Clean Weld Spots – During the welding process, surface contaminants are burned off, allowing for strong, clean welds.
Weld Dissimilar Metals – Sunstone Spot Welders can weld any combination of metals, such as Copper to Aluminum.
Small Heat Affected Zone – The heat-affected zone (HAZ) is very small and very localized to ensure no degradation to the battery. The 250i provides enough energy to make the weld without affecting the integrity of the cell.
More About the Omega PA250i Copper Tab Battery Welder System
The Omega PA250i is the perfect copper battery tab welder. The Omega PA250i has a new design to give superior performance. This newest update takes all of the great features from our previous EV copper tab battery welder, and adds to it a new motorized weld head for greater control, precision, and uniformity to every weld. The power supply has also been upgraded to offer superior control and fine-tunabilty to guarantee the perfect weld can be achieved. Manufacturers can produce lighter, more compact, and more efficient battery packs without compromising power or capacity.

+ The Suntone Pilot electrode sharpener helps you keep your Orion tungsten electrodes sharp and ready. Easily and quickly sharpen an electrode in seconds! DESCRIPTION SPECIFICATION REQUEST INFO With the Pilot you'll sharpen an Orion tungsten electrode quickly and perfectly. Simply power on the base rotary tool and insert the electrode in the guiding hole. The Pilot properly aligns the electrode with the grinding wheel. No more guessing about proper angles!
The Pilot's rotary body is slim and contoured to comfortably fit your palm. Powered by a lithium ion battery, the Pilot provides hours and hours of use. Simply use the included power cord to charge the battery when needed. Also select from three different speeds with LED indicator.
Why You Need a Sharp Electrode
The sharper the electrode the better. A sharp electrode allows you to deliver weld energy with precision and accuracy. A blunt electrode will disperse weld energy in a wider area resulting in unsatisfactory results.

DESCRIPTION SPECIFICATION REQUEST INFO Argon
Argon is used as a shielding gas in Sunstone's Orion Welding Systems. During the welding, process metals are exposed to temperatures of upwards of 7000 Degrees. At these temperatures, most metals become liquid, which allows the formation of the weld. Argon is used to protect the molten pool of metal against elements in the Atmosphere including Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Hydrogen. These elements cause reactions with the liquid weld pool, such as porosity and increased weld spatter. Argon also plays an important role in maintaining Arc stability, which leads to increased weld penetration, better filler wire transfer, and better weld appearance.Sunstone's Premium argon is 99.996% pure Argon (Argon 4.6). Pure Argon refers to the gas being just Argon, and not mixed with another gas.
How Big is the Tank?
Weight 44 lbsTank Dimensions 27" Height x 7" DiameterTank Size 40 scf
About How Long Should My Argon Tank Last?
It depends on a number of different factors, such as frequency of use, pressure setting, and pre/post flow settings. Sunstone's premium argon comes in an 40 scf tank, which is the most common size for use with Sunstone's Orion Welding Systems. A 40 scf tank will last 6-9 months on average, depending on use.
Will I Need an Argon Regulator?
We strongly recommend purchasing the AGR 2 regulator from us to ensure that you will have the proper type of regulator to match the tank we send you.
"AGR Inline" regulator will not work with these tanks
What is The Recommended Argon Pressure?
Sunstone's Orion Welding systems work best at around 10 PSI. The pressure can be adjusted depending on the workpiece and how far the electrode protrudes from the welding stylus. The further out the electrode, the more argon pressure will be required in order to get proper coverage.
