EWM is expanding its Picotig series and launching a new version that is an efficient addition to the performance range for welding currents up to 180 A. The lightweight and portable TIG welding machine is a compact inverter power source and, thanks to its automatic mains voltage adjustment, can be perfect for workshops and construction sites.
The Picotig 180 puls DC scores with its robust design, intuitive operation and light weight of only ten kilograms. Equipped with PFC (Power Factor Correction) technology, the new version ensures optimum power consumption from the mains supply. This enables the device to achieve high output power despite possible mains fluctuations, thus enabling energy-efficient and stable welding operation. The multivolt function allows worldwide use – even under difficult conditions such as mains voltage deviations, long mains cables or generator operation. This makes the new Picotig a true all-round device for a wide range of challenges in TIG and manual metal arc welding. Welding currents of 180 A at 40% duty cycle are achieved in TIG welding and 165 A at 35% duty cycle in manual metal arc welding in a 230 V mains supply.
