Orion 200x Data Sheet
Orion 200x Users Guide

The Orion 200x delivers up to 200 joules or watt seconds of energy in 0.2 increments or as little as 0.15 joules.

The Orion 200x provides agitation energy control, which allows you to add or remove peaks of energy from the downslope of the welding current. These peaks add both heat and intensity to the weld and shapes the weld stream and focuses or diffuses the stream of flowing electrons. Agitation can assist in removing porosity and creating a deeper weld penetration.

What can you do with the Orion® 200x?

Pulse arc welding is the perfect solution for intricate and minute welding applications on precious and non-precious metals. For example:

Workpiece Assembly
Extending a Prong
Adding Fill Materials for Repair
Joining Two Ends Together

Pulse Arc Welding for Jewelry, Aerospace, Manufacturing, And More

Designed to meet the rigorous demands of professionals across jewelry, dental, aerospace, and manufacturing markets, the new Orion 200x offers stronger welds, a price point for a faster return on investment, and exceptional customer service that has defined the Sunstone brand for nearly 20 years.

Integrated Touchscreen, Optics, Stylus, Articulating Arm

The Orion 200x combines the touchscreen display, optics, articulating arm, and stylus into one integrated unit that quickly attaches to any bench or table. At any time, you can swing the welder away and open up your work area for other tasks.

The power supply, which can be tucked under your bench or attached to any vertical surface, is utilitarian, allowing you to directly attach small bins for part storage, tool holders to stay organized, and many other attachments. You can design and 3D print whatever type of attachment that will make their job easier.

Small Footprint Fits Any Workspace

The Orion 200x takes little space on your bench or can be easily placed below the bench. The 5x microscopic optics, mounted to an articulating arm, can be easily swung away when not in use, helping to keep the bench more accessible.

Convenient, Tactile Energy Adjustment Buttons

The Orion 200x sports energy adjustment buttons near the stylus so you can quickly adjust energy levels without taking your eyes off the workpiece. These two buttons, one to increase energy and one to decrease energy, is a first for pulse arc welders. You’ll love convenience!

How an Orion® Pulse Arc Welder Out Performs the Competition

WeldIQ™: Absolute Digital Energy Control for Perfect Welds. Only Orion pulse arc welders include WeldIQ for total energy control, a digital dashboard that fine-tunes energy delivery for a perfect weld. Learn more about WeldIQ.

Smart Energy Release: Efficient Power Management and Less Heat. Unlike other welders, Orion technology only delivers the amount of energy requested. The result: lower heat, less component stress, and longer equipment life. Learn more about Smart Energy Release.

Tru-Fire Technology®: Fewer Misfires. More Confidence. Inconsistent weld ignition is frustrating, especially at low energy, when misfires waste time and create flaws. Youll only find Tru-Fire Technology in an Orion welder. Learn more about Tru-Fire Technology.

New, Smartphone-style Software with Widget Organization

The software interface for the 200x is designed for efficiency, simplicity, and customization. Like your smartphone, you can choose which features are most important to your needs and place them on the home screen to be more readily available.

You can choose from more than 20 different languages, quickly access a complete library of how-to and instruction videos, save preferred weld schedules that can be accessed for later use, and choose from an infinite number of background colors.

Pulse Arc Welding vs Laser Welding

Stronger. The Orion 200x compliments a laser welder, providing capabilities the laser welder lacks. However, pulse arc technology produces a stronger weld due to a deeper energy penetration of the workpiece.

Faster. Pulse arc technology is more affordable than laser welding and thereby delivers a faster return on investment. For more reflective metals, like silver, a pulse arc welder performs with superior results.

Better. With nearly 20 years of micro-welding experience behind us, Sunstone provides a better customer experience than you’ll find anywhere else.

Sunstone does not promote one welding technology over another. Instead, we let the application dictate which type of technology to employ. Just as you may have multiple hammers or pliers in your workshop, you’ll benefit from having both a pulse arc and laser welder. You can trust Sunstone to recommend the best solution to your welding challenges!

Join the Sunstone Circle

The Sunstone Circle is a welder protection plan that will protect your investment for as long as you remain a member. We’ll provide a “forever” warranty, free shipping, complimentary loaners, and more when you join the Sunstone Circle. For as little as $15 per month you can enjoy the protection of the Sunstone Circle.
