PRO-160 (ARC Inverter Welder)
€350.00 Inc VAT
PATON PROFESSIONAL INDUSTRIAL DIGITAL WELDING INVERTERS: are designed for welding in MMA, TIG, and MIG welding modes. The machines are 3 Phase 400 Volts and operate on rated welding currents from 270A (PRO-270-400V) to 630A (PRO-630-400V). They have an increased protection class, a high duty cycle, and more than 30 parameters for adjustment in three welding modes. Thanks to the function of the current-voltage characteristic slope changing, the machines can weld with electrodes with any type of coating.

MMA/TIG Lift Welder Inverter Paton PRO-160 – basic data
Universal inverter welder PATON PRO-160 is designed for manual arc welding with the MMA method, argon-arc welding with the TIG method with direct current and semi-automatic welding with the MIG/MAG method in a shield of gases and protective mixtures.
Versatility and Affordability
This welding power unit enables you to ARC | Stick | MMA weld out of the box, however at later time you can add to the functionality of this welder my buying a MIG wire feeder for MIG | MAG welding or a scratch TIG kit to enable you to perform TIG welding.
This model achieves a duty cycle of 70% at its full nominal current of 160А, which is sufficient to work with any electrodes from Ф1.6mm up to fusible Ф4mm and semi-automatic welding with solid wire of diameter from Ф0.6mm to Ф1.0mm (MIG/MAG welding is possible after purchasing a wire feeder). The device is set to optimal values for most cases of use. Demanding users can select each parameter individually.
The VDI PRO series offers full electronic control, which allows greater control of the welding process for each of the selected methods, as well as allowing maximum utilization of the equipment potential. Welding inverters from the PRO series are dedicated for industrial use as well as for the most demanding home users.
