Tig welder for automatic welding?

Im wanting a tig welder for fusing steel rings shut (jewelry)that allows for upslope, weld and downslope and possibly pulse characteristics to all be programmed for time and power. Something once setup, the ring can be loaded in the fixture, push a button and let it work. Preferably something that can go down to a few amps. I realize if I need microtig it will probably require a second unit for the really small stuff, but I would pay extra for for something that can do thin 0.020" to 0.125".

Its a specialty die repair rod that is shipped in unsealed containers. Most of the time the flux doesn't fall into the puddle, but both situations are annoying as shit. Even the cracked flux makes the puddle act all goofy.

I welded 90% of this Friday. I came in today and was feeling pretty good about what I had done. Then layed this down. I weld these on a turntable and the corner beads are always the most difficult for me to control.

Weldmold 880 rod (die repair rod) 5/32", about 160 amps. Any advice?
