Germany-based Mündersbach’s new Picomig 180, EWM Hightec welding presents a portable multi-process inverter power source. The power source masters the MIG/MAG welding procedure with solid as well as with self-shielding cored wire (Ø 200mm pin reels). The latter enables the user to work without shielding gas and the heavy and cumbersome steel bottles. Furthermore, the Picomig 180 masters TIG welding (Liftarc) as well as joining with the MMA process. The unit comes in a sturdy plastic casing with no sharp corners or edges, weighs only 15kgs, offers a maximum output of 180 amperes on site, high mains tolerances (-40% to +15%), and still supplies a 30% duty-cycle even at ambient temperatures of 40C. In this way, the single-phase machine (230V) offers unrestricted operation with generators and long mains leads. EWM offers the power source in a complete set: with an MT200G MIG/MAG torch, two 2kg wire spools (D200) with solid and cored wire, gas hose as well as pressure reducer.
