PATON PRO-160 ELECTRODE WELDING MACHINE
Paton PRO-160 MMA/TIG Lifting Welding Unit – Key Specifications for Welders
The PATON PRO-160 universal inverter welding unit is designed for manual arc welding using the MMA method, argon arc welding using the DC TIG method, and semi-automatic welding using the MIG/MAG method within a shield of shielding gases and mixtures.
This model achieves a 70% duty cycle at a full rated current of 160А, which is sufficient for working with any electrode from Ф1.6 mm to Ф4 mm and for semi-automatic welding with solid wire ranging from Ф0.6 mm to Ф1.0 mm (MIG/MAG welding is possible after purchasing a wire feeder). The unit is preset to optimal values for most applications. Users who wish to do so can select each parameter individually.
The PRO series offers fully electronic control, providing greater control over the welding process for each selected method and allowing you to take full advantage of the equipment’s potential. The PRO series welding inverters are designed not only for industrial use but also for the most demanding home users.
Key advantages of the Paton PRO-160 MMA welder
European-manufactured welding machines
An electronic thermal protection system protects all heat-generating components against overheating.
Ability to connect an external wire feeder
Capability to operate with long extension cords and a generator.
Pulsed mode available for all welding methods
Improved arc stability
Hot-Start, Arc-Force, and Anti-Force functions
The units are equipped with an overvoltage protection and stabilization system that ensures proper operation within a voltage range of 160V to 260V.
Power consumption is half that of traditional welders
Optimal penetration and precise bead shape regardless of welding position.
A 5-year manufacturer’s warranty for consumers and businesses.
Superior craftsmanship is backed by a 5-year DOOR-TO-DOOR manufacturer’s warranty. Models in the VDI PRO series feature a compact design that utilizes a range of innovative technological solutions to enhance the reliability of the devices. By relocating the electronic components to a separate compartment, the inverter’s reliability in dusty and humid environments has been improved. Additionally, the electronics are impregnated with a high-quality varnish.
