Adjusting your disintegrating head and column

Arc-er, IQ, and Servo heads are built to last. Proper use of these disintegrating heads and columns is critical to keep them working optimally. The disintegrating heads can be adjusted for use at any angle. The column structures are designed to allow you to position the disintegrating head over the part accommodating large and deep

Use your 2-SC for Stud Removal

The model 2-SC is our most versatile and powerful portable DC metal disintegrator. This machine will disintegrate your HSS, Hard, and Soft metals as well as all Carbide. The disintegrating head is a heavy-duty assembly with an automatic servo feed system.  You can use this machine to remove broken taps from #2 (2 mm) up

The Model 2-DBQT is now the 2-DVQT

The model 2DBQT was replaced about 18 years ago. It is now called the model 2DVQT. This is the exact same machine except; the cross arms were rotated 90 degrees for greater stability and rigidity. This engineering change was a 30% improvement with the cross arms fully extended. Electro Arc Metal Disintegrators were first introduced

Electro Arc’s Auto Feed Feature

https://youtu.be/H7gQ7NzlzAo When the Electro Arc feature was released in 1968 it resembled a mailbox in structure.  Released as the transistorized power feed, this option regulates disintegration and feed automatically.  Originally available only for the LBH head, the auto feed feature was updated in 1975.  This is a convenient feature that monitors your disintegration rate for

Tips for Storing your Metal Disintegrator Long Term

Storing your Electro Arc Metal Disintegrator Electro Arc Metal Disintegrators are known to last for 50+ years.  This heavy-duty equipment used on-site and in shops and factories tends to see quite a bit of heavy use.  We do recommend wiping down your machine and disintegrating head after each use as a regular maintenance task.  Machines

Electro Arc Features in a Competitive Market

Simple to Operate – Electro Arc metal disintegrators are engineered to operate worry-free.  There are no warning indicators, no pressure gauges, or special adjustments to make after the disintegration process.   Power: The 15 or 10-KVA power supply (now includes 20KVA)  supplied with Electro Arc metal disintegrators allows you to disintegrate holes as large as 1 inch through

How long does my Electro Arc Coolant Last?

The coolant system is essential to the metal disintegrating process.  Your metal disintegrator heats the electrode to 5000 degrees in order to disintegrate the metal, the coolant cools this temperature down so that no damage occurs to the electrode or part during the process.  It also prevents the machine from overheating.  It is important to

Did you know Electro Arc owns Uni-Tek?

Uni-Tek Manufacturing Co. started in 1954 in Frankfort Illinois by Harold Sexaur.  Their facility consisted of 9000 square feet. Their internal design team was headed by former team members of the original American team to develop EDM technology with Electro Arc founder, Harold Stark. Uni-Tek metal disintegrator machines differed from Electro Arc’s by using DC

How do you Disintegrate in Difficult to Reach Areas?

Electro Arc disintegrating heads are designed to be used at any angle, which helps you disintegrate broken tooling in hard-to-reach areas.  If you are disintegrating in large or deep holes you may need to use a shank or extension with your electrode.  When you are using a metal disintegrator it is recommended that you keep
