If the electrode tip of the welding handpiece touches the workpiece, the welding process starts automatically. Melting occurs at the point of contact under an inert gas atmosphere.
In addition to many steels, various titanium and aluminum alloys, copper and tin alloys are suitable for welding, as are various precious metals and alloys. All alloys suitable for laser or TIG welding can also be welded with the PUK U5. Welding wire can be fed or applied as required without any problems.

The PUK technology will inspire you!
- The intuitive operation
- Intelligent presettings mean that only 2 operating steps are required. Select metal group and work situation > Welding!
- Precision handpiece for precision welding
- Solid quality and the best materials such as stainless steel and Teflon are a prerequisite for precision in manufacturing and reliability in use.
- The handling of the components: Well thought-out details facilitate handling.
High quality connectors and professional screw and plug-in connections ensure durability and lasting safety in daily use.
Practical and fast: plug-in nozzle and clamping nut for fast, tool-free changing of electrodes
Ergonomic working: Individual adjustment of the working position and comfortable hand rests for low-fatigue work.
Special electrodes without toxic components, with optimized ignition and welding properties
High quality workmanship in every detail.
PUK makes welding simple
The operating concept of the PUK U5 combines the advantages of a modern touch display with the proven operation by means of a rotary control. Intuitive and safe device setting is thus guaranteed at all times.
- 1. Select metal group
- 2. select welding situation
- 3. welding!
- By means of the thin blue bar, the setting range recommended by our engineers is displayed.
- Informative help windows support intuitive operation.
- By pressing a button of the display for approx. 2 seconds, a help window is shown in which the underlying function of the buttons is explained.
- With another short touch on the help window, the display jumps back to the operating menu.
- Selection of welding parameters by means of a single control dial
- This means that power and welding time can be adjusted “blindly” to individual requirements.
- Concentration remains focused on the workpiece.

OPTIMIZED METAL SELECTION ESPECIALLY FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Preset welding parameters for a wide range of weldable metals and alloys in industrial use (e.g. stainless steel, Hastelloy, titanium, various precious metals, etc.).
Individual device setup via the settings menu, e.g. preselection of the welding cycle, display and hiding of operating levels such as program memory, expert level, fixed welding …
Extremely simple touchscreen operation. Now with wipe function!
For temporary fixing of metal parts.
- With this process, two metal parts are joined together at their point of contact by means of resistance welding.
- The parts can thus be “tacked” together for final joining by means of PUK welding, or to fix them for a soldering process.
- The fixation welding function is particularly suitable for processing metals with low electrical conductivity, e.g. steels or titanium, etc.
The resistance welding function can be an option for individual solutions, e.g. in connection with a force-dependent triggering of the weld.
- A corresponding device can be connected via the foot switch connection socket.
- With this process, two metal parts are joined together at their point of contact by means of resistance welding.
- In order to address material-specific conditions, a choice can be made between different welding curves.
For difficult workpiece constructions, the use of the foot switch can be an aid to safe working.
- By pressing the foot switch for 3 seconds, it is activated. This deactivates the automatic function of the PUK.
- The white symbol at the top right of the display indicates activated foot switch operation.
- Welding is now triggered by pressing the foot switch.
Sensible design for durability and continuous operation:
- Actively cooled (U5+ only)
The PUK U5+ is actively cooled when required, so the devices can be operated continuously without any problems. - High-performance handpiece (U5+ only)
